Lysol Douche

[bellasalsera]

A senior member of mamily, whom I suspect is in the early stages of Alzeimer's, told me today that her "hips were hurting" so she gave herself a Lysol Douche. She said that she had used it during the 40's as birth-control, and she thought this might make her feel better. She said she is feeling better now. I am really afraid that she is going to hurt herself. She said that she didn't use very much, but I am still worried. Ever heard of this?

I guess the menthol is supposed to make you say 'whooo hooo!!"

I wonder what future generations will say about our ads?

The way history repeats itself, they'll probably be soaking in the lysol again.

My mom said that back in the '50s, after having a baby, the dr told women to wash 'down there' with diluted Lysol solution.

I can't stand the smell of Lysol;)

Has anyone else heard that if you compare the ingredients on a jar of "cheese whiz" to the ingredients in OTC douches that they contain a lot of the same ingredients? Anyone out there have these on hand and care to compare and let us know if it is true?

Oh GAG i'll never eat CHeez Whiz again....

[NICU_Nurse, BSN, RN]

I looked it up and couldn't find anything; I do not have either Cheez Whiz OR douche in my house.

But! Look what I found:

According to this book, you can:

Clean a toilet with Country Time Lemonade

Relieve morning sickness with Gatorade

Remove scuff marks from patent-leather shoes with Noxzema

Give yourself a facial with Cheerios

Soothe sunburn pain with Cool Whip

Relieve insect-bite itching with A.1. Steak Sauce

Clean your clothes with Cheez Whiz (great for removing grease!)

Hmm. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I drink that stuff a lot, now i'm sitting here wondering what it's doing to my stomach if you can scrub a crapper with it!!!!

No, it's drying, which gives the impression that things feel tighter down there.

Tighter comes from Kegal exercises.

OHMYGOSH!

9....yes, 9 pages of this thread!

absolutely hysterical! Especially to one who was raised with the "lady partss are self-cleaning unless infected" directives from both her mother and nursing school! I seriously don't think I knew what a 'douche' was until nursing school!

Cannot imagine using Lysol...

Cannot imagine smelling like Lysol!

No way...No how...not this gal! Yuck!

PS thanks for the 'education' at MOM website...

There used to be a product on the market with a picture on the bottle of a nurse in a cap.

It wasnt lysol but simimlar stuff. One could wash the floor, the car, and then douche with it. I last saw it for sale in the early 80's

Give me a minute to download ancient memoriesand i'll post the name...

That stuff is STILL for sale!!! I even see it at my local Safeway!! It is called, I believe, Hexol or something similar.

My gosh, I think the active ingredient in Lysol is Carbolic Acid. I am surprised these women in the '40s were ever able to CONCEIVE when they finally wanted to--hey--wait a minute--maybe they used it to induce abortion before abortions were legal, too....
