Peppermint Oil Vapor
2ml of the oil will be placed in the urine collection "hat" that fits into the bowl of the toilet. Participants will then sit on the toilet in normal fashion, exposing their perineum to the vapor of the oil. The perineum will NOT come into contact with the oil directly - only the vapor from the oil will contact the perineum.
