Well, back in grandma's day vinegar douches WERE recommended for cleansing after the period stopped. Maybe that information has morphed.

Back in grandma's day, a lot of other things were used for that too. :::shudder::: Definitely wouldn't eat that stuff for sure!

Ick. Of course, using anything for that has now been shown to be bad for you so there goes another use for vinegar down the drain.

Not so fun fact: this purpose is why Lysol was invented.

Please say you made that up. That's just horrifying.

According to Smithsonian Magazine Lysol was advertised as a “feminine hygiene” product but that was actually a euphemism for contraception since the latter was illegal at the time.
