The vaginal deoderant sprays are still being sold (see your local
pharmacy), but I don't recall seeing advertising for them any more.
I wonder why? 

Hopefully, enough women have caught on that these are BAD for you.
(A day or two of the kind of irritation that they can cause might
make you a bit advertising resistant).

Re: Midol etc. and cramping.  There have been times that cramping
has made it just about impossible for me to keep to my normal
activities.  "Doubled over" is an accurate description.  Luckily,
this usually isn't the case.  Those pills have helped. 
("Blissed out" is not the word.  It just stops hurting.)  Probably
aspirin would work, but I think the diuretic in those pills also
helps.

Advertising for these products is pretty bizarre.  I wonder
how long it will be before they need to create a euphamism 
for "protection".
