Feminine Hygiene Conspiracy

     Can someone please tell me why, why, why, why, in this day in age do they still sell scented tampons? Or any scented feminine hygiene products at all? It has been said over and over again, by doctors everywhere, that putting any kind of fragrance in or around the vagina, vulva, labia, urethra, or even the asshole is not only unnecessary, but fucking harmful? Wow, I'm on my period, so I think in addition to my regular discomfort, I'll further disrupt my pH balance and cause a plethora of genital infections, so that I can feel fresh.
     I mean, does anybody even like these things? I don't understand the point. I guess, if I stoop my thinking a little and remember there was a time when women were so afraid of their smell ruining their marriages that they douched with Lysol (that's right, Lysol! That shit you clean your bathroom with! In your vagina! Ain't that appealing! Kills 99.9% of uninfected vagina!), I can understand why some dipshits might use a scented maxi pad or pantyliner, both of which are equally unappealing. At least a maxi pad or pantyliner collects menstrual fluid from the outside and can, if left too long, begin to smell--not that adding synthetic flowers to the mix camouflages it any batter. But, one of  the perks of tampons is that since they're internal, they don't have an odor. So, why would anyone need a flower scent to cover it up? Come on, people are pretty hygienic these days, sometimes unhealthily so. Americans are obsessed with daily showers. This is not eighteenth century France, when people never bathed. I think that if you think your vagina smells so bad during your normal menstrual period that it needs perfume, you need to either see a gynecologist to have that shit treated or a psychiatrist to figure out why you're so ashamed of your body.
    So, because I've come to the conclusion that no conscious woman would ever buy these vaginal air fresheners willingly, the only way they still get sales is when someone accidentally buys them, like I just did, and doesn't notice until they use them and have opened the box. The manufacturers write "fresh scent" in teeny tiny letters on an otherwise normal-looking tampon box and count on the idiot consumer to overlook this detail and then be too embarrassed to return an already-opened box of tampons. Then, either the disgruntled woman must use them or purchase an additional box of normal, overpriced, and unscented tampons. That means these greedy corporate bastards get twice their monthly profits. Aha! It's a conspiracy! I know it!
