Mother Jones reports on Linger, an “internal feminine flavoring” that promises to keep your vagina in mint condition. Ew, Ick. The Mother Jones story is here. The company’s website is here. The main ingredient is sugar, not thought to be a vagina friendy substance.

Can’t offhand think of a more icky taste combination, except maybe blue cheese with chocolate.
I like the idea! Some of us have a personal smell that takes some getting used to. If we want to have a person down there, maybe we’ll feel more comfortable putting some flavor up in the vag. I see it as something useful for women getting more pleasure.
Yeah, but it’s hard to get much pleasure with a yeast infection, which is what would happen if you put sugar in. (Though I suppose *somebody* must enjoy it, since pretty much everything seems to be a possible fetish.)
Food, especially sugar based ones do not belong in the vagina! There are non sugar non oil based products, use them!
And mint+vagina=eww!
DELETED
Oops. I’ve deleted my earlier comment.
Mine too.
Forgot where I was – it’s the sort of offensive thing I’d write on me own blog. Where no-one ever reads it.
There are non sugar non oil based products, use them! i agree
[...] (Marilyn, Betty, Ginger and Audrey) that are not all exactly pink… Not sure if this tops the vagina mints, but it’s a close runner up, surely? Leave a [...]
nom, nom, nom
okay….i can see where specifically puttint the mints in the vag could be nasty
however, if the person “pleasuring” you is eating a mint or chewing minty gum either during the process or shortly before and gently blows it does send shivers
but i fail to see the purpose of adding flavor/scent/color to the vag
