Use as a contraceptive
The Lysol disinfectant douche once was "the leading feminine hygiene product" in the United States. Advertisements for Lysol hinted at its use as a contraceptive but never explicitly promoted it to be used as such. Advertisements did note that Lysol was safe to use including on "delicate female tissues." Lysol ads also included recommendations from female gynecologists that Lysol would resolve women's martial distress through the practice of complete feminine hygiene and resolve fears of pregnancy for married women. Douching with Lysol disinfectant does not prevent pregnancy and can result in undesirable vaginal health outcomes as well as has resulted in death for some women using it as a contraceptive or as an abortifacient.
