Mild Sauce: Ondine Bath Dew

ondine advert

When did we get so prudish about ladies nipples? This beautiful image was a double page advert in a mainstream magazine in 1975, and apparently also used in the packaging, but people have their Instagram accounts deleted and Facebook posts censored for far less in 2014.

  1. Gosh! I do often wonder how society took so many steps backwards since the 70s. This add is beautiful. Art nouveau water nymphs with lovely long hair. At least its tasteful I guess…

  2. Have got plenty of this shit, …blue + green including posters, also a pile of ‘Music to Bathe by’
    LPs I am actually using this when I have a bath these days..best stuff around!

  3. Hi,
    I am a PhD student, currently working on my thesis on the modern reception of J.W. Waterhouse. Part of my research project concerns the advertisement for the Ondine Bath Dew and I was wondering if you could give me some further information or photos of the advert/the magazine in which you found it.
    Many thanks in advance
    Kilian
