Did you know Lysol used to be recomended for douching? Other good ones.....

[rsnoble-im-back]

It's true. Lysol actually promoted itself as a doctor prescribed douch solution that was shown in ads to bring marriages back together via better feminine care.

I've been looking at old product ads, omg!

Did you know they used to sell tapeworms in a can, proclaimed "easy to swallow", to be used for fat loss???

The cigarette claims were really good "more doctors smoke Camels than any other brand" or "Let's face it, you could get hit by a bus today.....go ahead and have a fag."

All legit shit. Makes you wonder which wonder products of the current day will go down like these.

My latest fav is the Coke labeling. Coke is apparently getting desparate as the schools are removing their products and have resorted to a new scheme stating "did you know all beverages hydrate? It's true!" And goes on to say how coke is good for you. Yep.........go find a 12 pack of coke and read the label. I can't believe it.

I think Lysol was the brand but the product was actual douche formula not the kind of Lysol disinfectant we use on our toilets LOL

Heh, interesting stuff from the wikipedia article on Lysol's history:

In 1918, during the Spanish flu pandemic, Lehn & Fink, Inc. advertised Lysol disinfectant as an effective countermeasure to the influenza virus. Newspaper ads provided tips for preventing the spread of the disease, including washing sick-rooms and everything that came in contact with patients with Lysol. A small (US50¢) bottle made five gallons (19 litres) of disinfectant solution, and a smaller (US25¢) bottle 2 gallons (7.5 litres). The company also advertised the "unrefined" Lysol F. & F. (Farm & Factory) for use in factories and other large buildings — a 5-gallon (19 litre) can made 50 gallons of disinfecting solution.

In the late 1920s Lysol disinfectant began being marketed by maker Lysol, Incorporated and distributor Lehn & Fink, Inc. as a feminine hygiene product. They intimated that vaginal douching with a Lysol solution prevented infections and vaginal odor, and thereby preserved marital bliss. This Lysol solution was also used as a birth control agent, as post-coital douching was a popular method of preventing pregnancy at that time. The use of Lysol was later discouraged by the medical community as it tended to eliminate the bacteria normal to the healthy vagina, thus allowing more robust, health-threatening bacteria to thrive, and may have masked more serious problems that certain odors indicated in the first place.

In the US, from around 1930 to 1960, vaginal douching with a Lysol disinfectant solution was the most popular form of birth control. US marketing ads printed testimonials from European "doctors" touting its safety and effectiveness. The American Medical Association later investigated these claims. They were unable to locate the cited "experts" and found that Lysol was not effective as a contraceptive.

Birth control, douching... Lysol did it all! Huzzah.

Listerine was first formulated by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in 1879 as a surgical antiseptic, it was given to dentists for oral care in 1895 and became the first over-the-counter mouthwash sold in the United States in 1914.
