Why haven't damaging feminine hygiene products been banned by now?

We've managed to get rid of some additives that were once in our foods, after realising they were bad for us -- I'm constantly amazed that certain products meant to make the vagina (there, I said it Michigan) more culturally acceptable have't been banned in the 21st Century.

Any doctor will tell you douching is bad, bad, BAD for you - and yet the products are still on the mainstream chemist shelves...

Well, this was a good opinion piece in the Guardian by Naomi McAuliffe who is downright annoyed at the new Femfresh advertising campaign which not only lauds dangerous feminine hygiene products, but refuses to use the word they're actually for!

For more about the Femfresh social media backlash, see The Huffington Post article.

And girls, if you're worried about it smelling 'down there' go see a doctor! Not a multinational company!
