Lysol douche ad, 1928, U.S.A.
Lysol, which today scours toilets
and bathroom floors, scoured vaginas
(and helped kill sperm) in an earlier
era, when, I guess, women were
hardier. (Andrea Tone, in Devices &
Desires [2001, Hill &
Wang], reports on the vaginal scalding
Lysol caused, and read a 1936 critique
of Lysol and Zonite douching). Note
the powerful, horrible word
"disinfectant." This is a
black-and-white ad from McCall's
Magazine, July 1928, the same month
that future Life magazine photographer
Lee Miller
unwittingly appeared in the first
menstrual hygiene ad to feature a real
person, a Kotex ad. She was just as
surprised, and disappointed, as the
rest of the country.
Read 1930s criticism
of Zonite and Lysol. See Lysol information in
old
newspapers
and Lysol ads from 1948 and 1934.
