Once upon a time, Lysol was a vaginal-cleansing douche. The company also marketed its cleaning solution as birth control between 1930 and 1960. Considering that the label lists the solution as a skin irritant, it sounds like a painful idea.

To back up a little, Lysol brand antiseptic disinfectant first appeared on the scene in 1889 as a way to help end a cholera epidemic in Germany. In 1918, ads touted it as an effective means to fight the flu virus during the influenza pandemic.
