The fairer sex? Indian company launches an intimate wash designed to 'brighten' the vagin Read more


A feminine hygiene product launched in India which promises to 'brighten' skin around the vagina is causing widespread controversy.
A 25-second TV advert for Clean & Dry Intimate Wash is being advertised on prime time television, and shows a woman using the product to lighten her sexual organs to please her man.
The product has attracted condemnation on Twitter and blogging sites, with one (male) user branding it 'the ultimate insult' and others bemoaning the extent of discrimination against darker skin tones.

It's terrible that they would sell this product and terrible as well that people would be made to think that they need it.

In dentistry we say that if someone's that close, they shouldn't be staring at your teeth or caring much about what they look like. I would think the same would hold true here. Weird stuff...I'd never heard that "lighter-shade organs" were more desirable...but then again I've only been around just under 60 years, so what do I know?

Who would of thought anyone gave a crap about such things.

Some things I am glad I slept thru.
