Lysol Douche.
This 1948 ad touted Lysol’s "effectiveness and safety" as a "personal feminine hygiene" product, in addition to its use as a regular household cleaner!

I posted a similar vintage advertisement thread over at metafilter ages ago
http://www.metafilter.com/48704/Poor-Lois-See-How-Old-Shes-Growing
it's a link to a bunch of vintage beauty adverts over at the Duke Rare Book and Manuscript Collection.

If you like this you might want to check some of those out, there are literally hundreds of truly awesome adverts.

Now *that's* why grandma always smelled of Lysol!

I especially like the picture of the trustworthy doctor. Who can harbor doubt when such a man says "Just use a teaspoon of Lysol in a quart of warm water with a pinch of salt."
It makes me cringe just thinking about it, and I'm not a woman!

Funny as this is, the really, truly horrifying thing about this is that the harsher the "germicidal efficiency," the more likely it is to CAUSE the smells it purports to eliminate. I say this primarily because it seems an awful lot of people STILL don't understand that naturally, there's a small ecosystem down there... and if you intentionally wipe out the native organisms, it opens the region up to infiltration by non-native organisms, a.k.a. infections - which are the cause of smelly ****.
I'm sure some readers are aware of this, but there are still a lot of people who either don't know or choose to ignore it, and that causes quite a few young women a lot of extra angst (and more than a few infections, I've heard), so... consider this an obligatory public service announcement.

After just reading the very first part of the ad and laughing myslef hysterical, I scroll down to the rest of it and it says "Lysol" I think unfortunate brand name coincidence...just in time to realize it's no coincidence and they want me to put LYSOL in my WHAT?? Eek, made my girly parts cringe. artschild I truly thank you for the public service announcement. It is needed. Leave the girly parts be, a daily shower should do the trick. 
Lysol, damn...

I'm sorry but I had to "laugh" to keep from CRYING (? although....I do have tears running down as I read the comments.....does THAT count?)SMILE....

Sorry, "one" more thing.....
They preface by saying that the Love-Quiz is intended for "MARRIEDS" only.
So what would their advice be for "single" women? Or GOD FORBID, "hussy's" who sleep with other women's husbands? (I guess they would DESERVE the "cold shoulder" huh)? LOL...
I suppose that "their", Feminine Odor "trivia", would go something like this:
1. Do you think "vinegar" is best left as an ingredient in salad dressings?
Yes No Not Sure
2. Have you ever taken a "long" walk while it was raining?
Yes No Not Sure
3. Would you OFFEND other patrons, while being serviced in a "Beauty Parlor" for several hours?
Yes No Guess i'd better FIND OUT!
LMAO.........
