.... with the herb Mugwort for extra loveliness!

The latest must-have from Gwyneth Paltrow.

Apparently it can cause allergic reactions including itchy rashes. Oooooh not my idea of how nice clean bits should feelshock [crossed legs]

Someone should give Gwynnie a serious talking to.

If it's not enough that girls are being sold the idea that pubic hair should be shaved, or worse, to make them desirable to men, she's now reinforcing the notion that the vagina and perineal area need something more than normal washing to remain healthy.

How can girls have confidence in their bodies and themselves when people like Gwyneth Paltrow peddle this dangerous claptrap?

TeeTime, attack him with a steam mop and his end will be very loose.

Joanna Lumley in her Trip up the Nile series had a go at something similar.
A sort of chimney come stool jobby with herbs and such smouldering in it.
Fumigates and scents the area apparently and is quite the tradition by all accounts.
She showed a whole row of stalls where they made and sold said stools.
Joanna sat atop for a while and seemed to be quite pleased with the results.

My steam mop has a hand held device and DH looks at a loose end this afternoon- shall we give it a try?

Deary me!

When they were discussing this on TV the other day, someone emailed in and said 'I am having my oven steam cleaned this afternoon. Should I ask him if he offers this service as well?' grin

Pittcity Fri 30-Jan-15 13:41:44

Read through this thread and then opened Facebook - an ad for steam cleaning ovens popped up grin

Just looked at the LA Spa link. How on earth steam cleaning the vagina 'kills intestinal worms' God knows! Maybe it boils the little buggars...

Hmm pompa, maybe there is a use for the red hot poker after all, I might have to go back to the drawing board grin

pompa Fri 30-Jan-15 13:25:20

OMG -- just hope Mrs. P doesn't think she can clean my bits with her steam mop.

POGS Fri 30-Jan-15 13:22:59

I think the clue is in the word 'mug'

If this her idea of what to do with plants and herbs such as mugwort got forbid she moves onto the 'red hot poker' grin

All this health stuff is nonsense - she's apparently been photographed many times smoking!

Tegan Fri 30-Jan-15 12:23:29

His new relationship with the wonderful Jennifer Lawrence ended because she couldn't cope with his close[ie suffocating]relationship with his ex wife. Gwynnie is actually a very good actress but her constant blatherings about health issues has undermined that.

Someone with a clean vagina!����

Galen Fri 30-Jan-15 11:23:34

Who is Gwynneth Paltrow?.

TerriBull Fri 30-Jan-15 10:47:30

Whenim64 - strangely no, it's not even loitering at the very back!

Me thinks Chris Martin had a lucky escape, allegedly he had a penchant for stuffing their kids with all manner of bad things like pizza and ice cream when her fragranceness wasn't lookinggrin bad Coldplay vocalist! As if it wasn't bad enough being saddled with the names Apple and Moses their concerned mother restricted their carb intake as well.

Elegran Fri 30-Jan-15 10:43:07

I think we know who the mugs are in LA.

Riverwalk Fri 30-Jan-15 10:32:58

Boiled steaming mugwort is applied to the perineum!

She's a brave one that Gwynnie.

Nelliemoser Fri 30-Jan-15 10:29:57

I will stick to the vagifem pessaries thank you very much.
Calling this steam cleaning sound dangerous! I am sure some ejit is going to try it.

merlotgran Fri 30-Jan-15 10:25:13

Apparently if you're in LA you have to do it.

I wonder how much the vagina police get paid?

Riverwalk Fri 30-Jan-15 10:22:30

The website of the spa in Santa Monica is priceless - full of bullsh*t grin

I think they all need lessons in basic anatomy and physiology!

Seems boiled mugwort leaves are applied to the perineum and all sorts of miracles ensue - for any men who are feeling neglected here, you too can have the treatment and it'll reduce the pain from piles.

That would be telling!

Anne58 Fri 30-Jan-15 10:14:54

And what, pray Mishap devices is it using? grin

Mishap Fri 30-Jan-15 10:03:27

I think I will leave mine to its own devices!
