I would imagine it depends on the lady, I have heard one or 2 ladies in the past give out about gentlemen using them as it makes their job even more difficult as you can imagine but I couldn't see it as being an issue if it is actually required. Personally I would stick to the real deal as I have experimented with the alternatives myself and for some reason they have absolutely no effect on me but I don't have any issue's normally so I would go rock anyway..
