Anyone who has watched Sex and the City (the tv series, not the film) will probably remember a quote by Samantha that goes: “Honey, your vagina needs a mint.” I laughed at the time, sure. Who wouldn’t? It’s preposterous, the idea of a vagina needing a mint. It’s a joke. Hahahahaha. Right?

Well, I’m here to tell you that a vagina (mine, yours, anyone’s) most emphatically does NOT need a mint. In fact, any shower gels scented or made with the freshening herb are to go nowhere near your most delicate lady parts. Especially (ESPECIALLY) if those lady parts just endured the trauma of childbirth and stitches a mere two weeks ago. Unless you enjoy burning, tingling sensations down yonder, that is. I’ve never been taken in by the douche industry as I don’t sit around pondering the sell-by-date of my genitalia and I’m not worried enough about freshness issues that I would willingly endure another bout with TNH’s Mint and Tea Tree body wash. I will never again be so naive as to assume that all unisex shower gels are created equally and have been thoroughly thought through (what an alliteration!) and tested by both male and female manufacturing execs.

You have been warned.
