Old School Beauty Treatments That Should Stay Vintage

Using Lysol To Clean... Areas

While many still use Lysol to clean and disinfect their homes today, people actually used it to douche once upon a time. Yes, that's right, it was actually used widely as a douching agent up until around 1960. People also utilized it for birth control during this period. We guess the reasoning was that if it could disinfect your home, then it could disinfect other things. However, it actually led to around 193 deaths.

The text in the ad is also pretty cringe-worthy, but we guess the pursuit of beauty and hygiene makes people do strange things. Luckily, Lysol is only used to clean countertops today.
