WTH?
From the looks of the advertisement, I would say this comes from the early to mid-50's. The copy is incredible, though:
One most effective way to safeguard her dainty feminine allure is by praticing complete feminine hygiene as provided by vaginal douches with a scientifically correct preparation like "Lysol."
I could just imagine couples in these times coming up with jokes like, "Honey . . . wanna go camping?" or "What do my wife and the Christmas tree have in common? Bushy and pine-scented," or a man coming home from work, sniffing the air, and asking, "You or the kitchen floor?"
Lysol?!?!
BTW, to really get the job done . . . KABOOM!

Suddenly, my grandmother's having put my mother into a Tide bath (because she looked "dingy" the day before either kindergarten or first grade started) falls into cultural context and becomes far less astonishing...
LMBO
And yet, somehow, we survived.
Kasia: your story made me laugh out loud.
Wow...you really went there, didn't you? LMAO
"Edna, I'm hiding behind this door and we can't have any happy married love because you stink."
LMAO! No you didnt...
That 'mucus matter' was actually cervical mucus which increases at the time of ovulation. The 'mucus matter' is absolutely necessary to allow sperm to travel within the women's uterus and fallopian tubes, birth control pills have the affect of decreasing this production of 'mucus matter'.
Science though wasn't up to par at this time though to understand that. So it really can't be an ad for 'douching' to be really for contraception?
Around here its Hershey's syrup and whipped cream :)

Sorry, Being that I've practiced Natural Family Planning for almost nine years now talking about cervical mucus is like breathing air.
Renee - Ok, understood!

I couldn't get over this so I did some searching. Apparently the Lysol douche went back to the
1920s!
