ktgrok Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) My travel size dry shampoo and my seldom used feminine deodorant spray look way too similar. I came way to close to spraying the wrong one in my hair this morning before church! Edited November 10, 2019 by Ktgrok 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I almost did the same thing this week! I have a seldom used feminine deodorant spray And a seldom used travel size hair spray and nearly used the feminine spray. I was stressed about having to see my sister in law and was distracted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If "feminine" is some sort of code word for "not the sort of thing that's healthy to use, ask your ob/gyn and they'll confirm this" then you can resolve that problem by tossing it. That part of your body should not have any fragrances applied ever. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now lives in a different drawer. One of my kids actually put A and D diaper rash ointment on their toothbrush and started brushing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I will put *there* that didn’t originate there is coconut oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally agree but everyone and then I know I will be getting VERY sweaty and producing more odor than I'm comfortable with in that particular company without a way to quickly change/cleanse/shower. I don't spray it on my body, only on my underwear/clothing so that those don't become ripe before I can change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I used it was when the grands were here and we ended up playing hide and seek outside for about an hour while we were waiting for their dad to get here so we could go out to dinner. I’ve also used it when we do an all day cycling event that includes stops at restaurants and such. No time to change, but padded cycling shorts can smell rank after a 40 mile ride. Having said that, I have a tiny can that I’ve had for at least 4 years...so not really worried about damaging my hoo-ha with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 This thread kind of feels like: "Hey, this funny thing happened at McDonald's." And then people chime in with "McDonald's is terrible for your health," and "Yeah, I only ever eat organic, grass fed burgers." @Ktgrok and @Annie G - you do not have to defend/explain your personal hygiene choices, lol. You're grown women who, I'm sure, weigh risks v. benefits and can manage the care of your...body...without unsolicited input from the internet. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I once started to brush my teeth with icy hot. Dh had taken it out to use it while I was showering. He put it exactly where I saw the toothpaste before I hopped in the shower and moved the toothpaste after he used it. It was all accidental. It was an awful experience 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I spray my Bearpaws with water proofer every fall. This year, I sprayed them and it seemed weird and foamy. So, you know, I sprayed them again because clearly the bottle was messed up or something. Eventually I realized it was oven cleaner. I'm just real glad I wasn't spraying my body or brushing my teeth 😂! 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 DH once had a bottle of ear wax removal drops sitting on his nightstand next to the contact lens rewetting drops. They are the same bottle shape, just different labels. He woke up one morning and grabbed the wrong bottle for his eyes. Apparently, that burns. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I was supposed to color my hair this weekend, but instead I just deep conditioned it. I squeezed the tube of conditioner from the kit into the developer, instead of the tube of coloring. I sat there like an idiot for 30 minutes letting my "color" develop and only when I went to condition after rinsing out the "color" did I notice that the conditioner was actually the coloring tube. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I can remember a thread on here years ago, where a mom was irate that her in-law had used clorox bleach wipes on her baby's bottom. Commenters pointed out that maybe storing the clorox wipes RIGHT NEXT TO the diaper wipes was a bad idea.... 😂 If you were that poster... I hope you've come to a point where you can now laugh at this... 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I once cleaned the whole bathroom with Armor-All wipes. Both containers were cylindrical white plastic with yellow lids. Both stored in the same under-cabinet basket. My bathroom was sooo shiny. And slick. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, this reminded me of the time I used Pledge to clean the bathroom instead of bathroom cleaner. My kids were little and one ran into the bathroom and slipped right onto his bottom. That's when I double checked the can. Oops, poor kid! How many of these mix up are due to us needing to do too much and just not paying enough attention? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Nor should anyone store preparation H anywhere near the toothpaste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
