Reminder: don't put balls of tea-leaves in your vagina

I’ll tell you what I told my gynecologist and my barista: mind your own business!

[SteampunkBanana]

This product would mean you’d only need one of them though!

Well, that’s what you get when your gynecologist is your barista…

Embrace Pangaea, a “holistic company that provides high-quality herbal detoxes and information to educate clients about natural living” wants you to buy its Herbal Womb Detox Pearls at costs ranging from $85 and $480 and stuff them up your vagina to flush out “toxins” and, depending on which ball you buy, to promote “vaginal tightening” by “tightening the womb” after which your “vaginal canal will shrink.”

Vaginas are generally pretty self sufficient.

Well put, Sir!

A good friend of mine posted a comment to my FB page after I shared this. She said: “if you don’t know how to use a vagina properly then you don’t deserve to have one.”

But the silicone otter was just too cuuuute!

[jsroberts]

So do we put tea in the otter’s pocket or not? I’m getting mixed messages from Boing Boing this week.

i wonder about the genesis of these Herbal Womb Detox Pearls (that’s a…mouthful [ahem]). Did two women go camping near some large tract of herbs, and maybe they got a little deep into the wine while also considering all the fun and exciting things they’d put into their vaginas, and especially that subset of fun and exciting things they’d put into their vaginas that then rendered said vaginas and related canals tighter? That is, how the hell would someone consider this to be a potential business opportunity? (Other than a complete and utter scam artist, but I’m trying not to be cynical about this…)

It’s reeeeeaally tough for me to imagine that any woman, let alone two of them, came up with this scam business idea.

Tea is rich in tannins, which are known astringents. Yes, if a tea is strong enough to make your mouth pucker, it can make your vag pucker also. Traditionally, witch hazel douche has worked this way.

But astringents obviously do not make a mucous membranes permanently smaller, otherwise people who drink dry wines or black tea would have their mouths shrink. Tannins are also irritants - they make animal skin into leather, FFS. So, I’d say that it’s probably harmful as a long-term strategy. Better off doing more exercise.
