Douching with Lysol was a fairly common practice in the first half of the 20th century in North America. The product was specifically advertised to women for this purpose. Here's a sampling platter of some of the ghastly ads, if you'd like your day thoroughly ruined. https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110508673168425715

Although advertising and product instructions used euphemisms such as "feminine hygiene", and focused on the language of cleanliness, a lot of Americans were douching with Lysol for a different reason: contraception.

Douching is by no means a reliable method of contraception, but early to mid 20th century Lysol was perhaps better than other douche solutions for this purpose. This is because one of its ingredients at the time was an abortifacient.
Oh, and also highly toxic. Lysol douching was linked to a wave of poisonings including five deaths in the 1910s.

This little bottle of Lysol holds the record for being the most lethal item in our display of unnecessary vaginal cleaning products. Most products on the market these days range from pointlessly ineffective to likely to give you an infection. That's progress, we guess.

@heliokor grazie per la tua disponibilità! Il quadrato è di 25x25 cm circa, vanno bene qualsiasi punto, colori, basta che sia di lana. Per assemblare ci penserà la Sartoria Sociale Fìl della Caritas di Udine. L'idea è di usare lana avanzata e non comprata per un'idea di #riuso.

@evadm che dimensioni deve avere il quadrato?, con quale punto? Van bene tutti i colori o hai delle preferenze?

I might be done with the slides. Maybe. Two need to be corrected. One might need to be added. Another...

Questo è il tipo di informazione che esperti/espertoni/espertissimi di nucleare tendono a scordare, quando fanno i loro conticini e giungono alla conclusione che è regalato. Poi c'è la realtà, la Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) e altre minuzie del genere.

@mariosiniscalchi ma infatti la democrazia si mantiene non perché si vota un partito ma si vota per la democrazia!
Gli astenuti la perdono e poi manca come l'aria che ti accorgi se manca!
