I think part of the story was about...people who have already tried the new clothes on. Like..for example....at Victoria's Secret...hmmmmmm.made in vietnam and china...I am sure they are roolly clean. NOT.
Oh YuK!!! Ok, I am guilty. I usually wash everything before we wear it..but there have been a few times not...not any moreMy friend told me a story about her friend who purchased a new bra and wore it without washing it. She ended up getting some kind of flesh eating bacterial infection...she had ulcers and sores around the entire area the bra was on her skin. Took her 6 months to get it diagnosed and treated. Yuck..
Nice. So I went to that radiosmack in the mall last night when we went to the airport and there was a vic secret next door and i had to mention to dh, he was thoroughly disgusted. I said, can you imagine bringing some of this stuff back and they put it back on the hanger to buy?Oh YuK!!! Ok, I am guilty.

Blech. I have had lots of skin allergies to things in fabrics so everything gets washed before it's worn around here. Also, I use the laundry detergent without perfumes and dyes. When did we need all these detergents that are scented? I'm baffled by this whole market for scented products..
I think they appeal to smokers who think the scents will mask the smoke smell. We have one smoker in my office and she is very into scented lotions and scened candles.Samster said:Blech.

Ohhhhhhhhh....That's a really good point! Do you think it also has to do with the fact that hardly anyone opens the windows in their homes anymore?Blech.

No scented anything around here. I am now looking for unscented shampoo. Ideas appreciated. I spent 2 weeks sneezing my head off until I stopped using my shampoo, one I had used for a long time, too.Blech.

Ugh, and is there anything WORSE than that smoke smell with flowery junk on top of it??? Gives me a stomachache. My sister-in-law does this, it's to the point I won't let our DOG go into her house when we visit long-term because she reeks like that when she leaves.Blech.

When I walk down the cleaner isle at the grocery, I get an instant headache and feel all pukey. It's really over the top...just more toxins.Rupert said:Gives me a stomachache.
I would think your best bet would be an organic grocery store, or a store that has an organic section. Even if they aren't unscented they are usually made with non-synthetic ingredients which might not irritate you as much.No scented anything around here. I am now looking for unscented shampoo.

You know where I can't go? Yankee Candle. Just walking past it in the mall gives me a headache. I'm good for about 2 minutes and then I have to leave. Forget the 'cosmetics' counters at Macy's.Ugh, and is there anything WORSE than that smoke smell with flowery junk on top of it??? Gives me a stomachache.

For my getaway weekend I bought lipstick because I know my friends dress up. Immediately couldn't breathe as soon as I put it on. Thank goodness I don't have the kind of job that requires being 'made up!'
