Start-Up Working To Help Vaginas Have A 'Peachy' New Smell

Scientists are constantly plagued by important experiments, medicinal trials and other workings. Developers Austen Heinz and Gilad Gome of the start-ups Cambrian Genomics and Personalized Probiotics were also busy dealing with one of women's most difficult problems--the fact that their vaginas don't smell like fruit. 

"The idea we're pushing is to do sequencing and synthesis as a way of restoring it [the vagina] to natural health. The company is being seen as wanting to smell like peach. But the vagina produces smells like any other microbiom," said researchers, via The Guardian.
"We think people should have control over their microbes and code, so if they want to add that function [fragrance] to any of their microbes, then that should be up to them."

You heard right. The researchers recently announced their plans at a San Jose DEMO Conference in which they outlined their vision to help women change the way their vagina's smell. Named Sweet Peach, it will be made using Cambrian Genomics' DNA printing technology and financed through a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Tilt.

The inventor of the product is Audrey Hutchinson, the CEO of Sweet Peach Probiotics. Inc.com reports that while Heinz owns 10 percent of Hutchinson's company, Gome has no part in it. 

What new product scents will they think of next? Also, what about pheromones being sexy? Just a thought, of course.
