Lysol was actually a highly recommended douche - like, recommended by Planned Parenthood - well into the 20th century. The practice of douching was supposed to be one of the best forms of birth control, though today we know that it actually helps to push sperm up into the uterus and makes contraception more likely.

wtf indeed.

Great Aunt retaliated by being the most colorful, Beloved and caring, person to come out of that family. She also outlived them all by decades.

Don’t try this at home indeed…

Evidently my Great Grandmother would spray Lysol up into her vagina after intercourse with my Great Grandfather. She became pregnant with her third child 11 years after her second… She famously ( and undoubtably cruely) told my Great Aunt time and again during her childhood ” You were born because I couldn’t get the cap off the Lysol bottle in time.” Oy Vey.
