Scented "Feminine Products"

So the other day, in my normal disorganized state I realized I had run out of "feminine products" (or more aptly, maxi pads). And of course, I was on call that day so in my rush to get to work, I grabbed the first familiar package I saw and went to work. What I did not realize was that a "subtle" change had been made to my favorite pads...they were now scented like "flowers."

Now I don't know about you ladies, but I certainly have not felt that I was malodorous while on my period...nor has anyone commented that I was (and believe me, my friends and sis would have told me). So with that said, why do I need scented maxi pads. If you maintain good hygiene, you do not need scented pads to make you smell "fresh." You should not smell of anything at all!!!

Also, even if I wanted scented maxi pads, why would I want to smell like bad air freshner???? Now this is what these pads smell like...BAD flowery air freshner. I bet you it was a man (a lonely single man who obviously has never lived with a woman) who came up with this idea b/c I don't know of any woman who would want to smell like that. Besides, bad air freshner scents give many women headaches!

Air freshner scented pads...I was SO ticked off the whole day b/c I could not leave the hospital and get a normal package of pads...bloody hell...gave me a headache and I smelled like that stupid stuff all day and all night!

Absurd...I'd like to find out what "genius" came up with this idea!
