Lume commercial

I'm sick of seeing a female doctor talk about "crotches" smelling, and rubbing deodorant up and down ass cheeks. Can it be healthy for people to put a deodorant in their genitals, especially women?

I remember the Feminine Deodorant Spray ads from the 70s. Horrible and unhealthy. Warm water rinse and wipe front-to-back.

Just a rant.

Sounds like something Mehmet Oz would be into. I think the commercials are insulting, and disgusting.

But do I need someone to blow on it like she does in her demo ?
Does it burn ?

How crotch/ass smell can be zero with Lume naughty-bits deodorant cream. She demonstrates by putting a dab on her fingers, mimicking rubbing it up and down between ass cheeks.

I shower daily and never felt the need to “deodorize” those parts until those commercials came on. Is this a real problem or a made-up one? And yes this is something Dr. Oz would sell.

Which makes it even more awful that it's coming from a female physician.

is one of the main reasons I don’t watch television. You are CHARGED a small fortune each month for cable and you STILL have to sit through BS commercials.

used to determine where one falls on the odor scale - using Lume vs no Lume.

Makers of high volume fragrance products (I'm NOT saying Fabreze, so quit saying that! :evilgrin have been using electrochemical detectors that use an algorithm for both "sameness" (every batch smells the same) but plesantness. The latter is used in development so they field test only the most likely candidate.
Since the characteristics of plesantness can be quantified, so can the parameters for unpleasantness.
So, believe it or not, a "stink-o-meter" is a real thing. Close to 20 years now.

they wouldn't sell this shit if they didn't think someone would buy it (at an inflated price of course).:evilgrin

Gotta pay for that 5th house someway.

"Wash your bottom once a day."

That's all. (and now with disposable wipes, you can use those)

Personally, I like to shower once a day. It gets me in gear for my day.

and mute them and look away (I sometimes change channels) when they come on.

In the first one I saw, she said that doctors over-prescribe. Yes, why bother with medical treatment for, say, bacterial vaginitis, when all you need is Lume?

Ugh. She and her commercials are disgusting.

Just another way to make people, especially women, paranoid about the way they think they smell.

I have been getting all these junk emails from Lume and I have been wondering what it was. Not curious enough to open the email, though.

A female doctor is smelling the butt of a female patient. They need to go all the way and have crotch sniffing. I dare Lume to do that and get right to the point of these ads
