Lume, pits and privates

[XanaDUer2]

A female doctor is talking about crotch odor. My drs told me rinse with warm water. That is all the "cleaning" female genitals need. Sad a female dr is saying this, but she's getting rich from Lume.

1. The doc looks like she hasn't showered in days...

…and is probably in need of her own invention.

Very unprofessional presentation.

[Quakerfriend]

6. Yes! 😂. As soon as she appears I change the

channel!

I told DH “I can’t stand the way she leans in & yells
at the audience!”

He feels this is “what works with the younger viewers.” 🤨

2. I think the same woman is now hawking an extensive line of products

under the name of Mando too. So many products, I wonder how they all got adequately tested and found to be effective.

3. She is nt

10. Is she a real doctor or a television "doctor"? TY

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. She is a real MD

[Ocelot II]

4. Maybe she should send a few gallons of the stuff to TFG.

But really, regular bathing is all anybody should need, and the ads are gross.

7. I think he's reached the industrial-size 55-gallon drum era

23. But that is the point of all of this stuff...

So those lazy asses out there can skip that shower or bath. This is a major money industry. And, all of it is to pander to lazy, stinky people who would rather spend lots of time and money on ways to avoid being clean as opposed to just getting in the damned shower once in a while.

5. I'm told she got reamed out royally by colleagues at a national meeting recently...

Her unprofessional discourse and untenable claims (for obvious profit) have really rankled others in the OB/GYN field. It won't change anything, of course, albeit I've noticed her more recent ads are using another as the spokesperson or she's toned down the "pits and butt crack" language--thrown about as though she was auditioning for Pornhub.

But yes, soap and water with thorough rinsing-- over any chemical-laden product-- is what any reputable physician would recommend unless there is a specific pathogen that needs to be cleared/treated.

8. Lume commercials remind me of Saturday Night Live sketch, "Ass Don't Smell."

9. I went to a lecture a few years ago

a female gynecologist as the speaker. Someone asked this question in the Q and A portion. The doc said to use soap and water only on the outside followed with a thorough rinse, and wash with plain warm water on the inside. She said all the douches and genital deodorants on the market were unnecessary.

Has anyone seen the commercial for body deodorant for seniors? I don’t remember the brand. It said that seniors exude a peculiar odor but are unable to smell it so they need the special senior deodorant. What a racket!!

11. There are some really bad commercials nowadays.

Lume and Mando commercials are among the worst.

13. Do you use underarm deodorant? Do you wash your armpits?

Clean isn't the problem. Keeping the area dry is the problem.

If you wash your armpits and don't use deodorant, you may develop an objectionable underarm odor because the area becomes moist during the day. Your sweat glands cause your pits to provide a perfect area for bacteria to develop--damp, dark, enclosed by your arms and your clothing.

For some women, the same thing happens with their crotches. They can wash themselves till the cows come home, but if their sweat glands produce moisture, like our armpits do--same kind of environment, dark, enclosed--so it can't dry out on its own, the bacteria that grow there will cause an odor.

Traditionally, women with this problem have used talcum powder after bathing to keep the area dry, but we now know that talcum powder used in the genital region of women *and babies* is associated with ovarian cancer and is no longer recommended by gynecologists. A deodorant is a solution for women with this problem; they no longer have to use a carcinogen to deodorize themselves.

I suspect that this product is designed for women who are younger than many of the women posting here, women who wear tight pants, who exercise heavily, who are vigorously sexually active--who engage in activities and wear clothing that would tend to work up a good crotch sweat. I'm 76 and don't have this problem (soap and water work fine for me, too), but if I did, I'd be grateful for a product that wouldn't expose me to a cancer-causing agent.

19. Yeah, it's easy to forget that we were in our 20's once

I do use Vagisil as opposed to soap, because Vagisil pH balanced.
I was using soap, but I eventually found it drying and irritating.

[cyclonefence]

20. The commercials may be annoying

and a little embarrassing, and who knows how well the product worked, but I'm glad to see the issue addressed.

J&J have lost so many lawsuits over their baby powder and ovarian cancer that I'm surprised J&J hasn't come out with their own version of this er product.

14. Crotch issues

My gynecologist told me washing with water was all that was required. I noticed the only time I smelt fishy was after ejaculation in my vagina. It is what it is.

[Earth-shine]

15. Lumi is for perspiration. It is not a douche. It doesn't claim to be.

Something new to complain about?

[XanaDUer2]

16. Huh?

Welcome to ignore

[Earth-shine]

17. You would have to be severely mentally deficient to confuse this product with vaginal cleansing solutions.

Obviously, this product works for some of us when used as intended.

18. she isn't a doctor, but she probably stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night

[Chakaconcarne]

21. Hate those damn commercials...

with a passion.... like no other commercial I've ever seen.

[retread]

22. If she stays on this path she will be in line for the next Surgeon General of Florida.
