Gynecologist Debunks Vagina Odor Myths, Advocates for Whole-Body Deodorant

A gynecologist, speaking on behalf of Lume Deodorant, recently challenged conventional feminine hygiene product marketing, asserting that the vagina is a self-cleaning organ and external odors are often misunderstood. In a video, she expressed frustration with store aisles filled with products implying vaginal blame for odor. "What I don't like about this area as a gynecologist is that, first of all, it's all about the vagina. So the vagina is to blame. It's vagy this and vagy that," she stated. She continued, "Everything is PH fresh, you know, and it's implying that there's something wrong with the vagina." She clarified, "Just naturally speaking, the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. The odors that formed from day to day are happening on the outside." She then demonstrated Lume Whole Body Deodorant, explaining its application to various external body areas, including underarms and private parts, to address these external odors. She concluded by highlighting the versatility of the product, stating, "And there's no reason why products that we use on our underarms couldn't be reformulated to use anywhere on our body."
