After Gwyneth Paltrow and her vagina-scented candle, it’s Kourtney Kardashian’s turn to take an interest in private parts. According to Kris Jenner’s eldest daughter, “you are what you eat”and for “improve vaginal health and pH levels”, the wife of Travis Barker offers a brand new product: vitamins. Designed in the form of gummies, these look like pineapple candies capable of promoting “freshness and taste” of your vagina.
A project that has aroused strong reactions. On Instagram, many Internet users criticized the launch of the Lemme Purr product. “Another example of marketing pointless projects that target women to make them feel insecure enough to buy it,” “This is ridiculous. It’s not supposed to (the vagina, editor’s note) smell or taste sweet. If so, something is wrong. Don’t buy this nonsense!”, I’m a gynecologist and I can tell you that you don’t need this. Stop giving away your money”, “Arming the patriarchy for profit is misogynistic. Promoting health misinformation of women is unacceptable”, can we read in the comments.
Kourtney Kardashian, the new target of gynecologists
For their part, experts also point to the gums promoted by Kourtney Kardashian. Contacted by the BBC, Maddy Dann, British doctor, is indignant: “I’m afraid this will make women think that normal vaginal functions, like discharge, are not acceptable,” she explains before adding: “There’s no such thing as a dirty vagina. The vagina cleans itself. Every vagina smells and tastes different. So this thing basically says they should all be the same and that’s not unrealistic”.
Gynecologist and obstetrician, Melanie Bone, meanwhile, says that scented vaginal products are not recommended. “In fact, they can do more harm than good, as they can upset your vaginal PH. Keeping your vagina dry, cool and clean is all you need”. A bad buzz for Kourtney Kardashian so…
