GAH! indeed! The wetness is HELPFUL! People are crazy.

I liked this part especially: "Use of AbsorbShun natural powder in any quantity may cause temporary tenderness and micro abrasions to the genital area."

Do you want more romance, intimacy and fulfillment?

"excuse me while I go powder my vag" yeah, that sounds romantic!

i mean, this is basically the equivalent of saying to a man "is your penis too erect during sex? are you too aroused? is your excitement ruining it for your woman?" ugh! what a fucking idiotic and sexist product.

That man has a problem. Also, you girls crack me up.

I don't get it. Isn't wetness there a *good* thing? Who wants to do sandpaper?
More to the point, what woman wants cornstarch up her fun hole?

Get a little closer, don't be shy, get a little closer with Vagina Extra Dry!

Oh. Maybe you don't get that commercial up in Canada.

Back to my oatmeal.

Okay okay okay is this like... definitely not a spoof site? I mean I'm reading this post in an internet cafe so I'm not going to follow the link right now but seriously, it wants to make sex suck for everybody AND it donates its proceeds to Xian charities? My credulity is somewhat stretched. It's either suspend credulity or go and have a cry in the corner.

And yo take it from a fella, peoples, dry sex is not fun for ANYone. We get chafed and yanked and abraded too. This sounds like less fun than... most things.

Hey, did anyone else read Even Cowgirls Get The Blues? This reminds me of the evil feminine "hygiene" empire in that.

I KNOW!

Isn't it terrible?

What is funny is that they sent her an email that attempted to insult her intelligence, and I told her that I bet he just had a small dick. And I also called them being Christians. Then I found their website and won a prize :)

This is really funny, but it's also really sad, to me. I mean, it's very likely that some people are buying tihs stuff- women are abusing their bodies ot salve the egos of their men.

Now that I'm home and can see the actual site....

"Can using AbsorbShun natural powder lead to a yeast infection?

No, Yeast infections are caused by bacteria. AbsorbShun contains nothing that would lead to a yeast infection."

WTF? No, it's called a yeast infection because it's caused by yeast, you dumbasses!

"My vagina is feeling very tender after using AbsorbShun, is there anything I can do?

Although we are not physicians, what I personally use is a protein moisturizer (ie. Mane 'n Tail – Original Hoofmaker)"

ROFL! There just aren't words....

like the icon change. did you make just shi-shi-la-la up that knitting picture of yourself?

nice. very nice.

Makes men feel larger!

Ahhh, now we come to the crux of it...

[/brainexplode]

ok, everything else aside, there's already a solution to being too wet--it's called a fucking KLEENEX. cripes.

Gentlemen, do you suffer from nimble fingers and an overly hard cock?
Is your lovemaking less satisfying as a result?
Do you ever wish your hands were clumsier and your penis more torpid than turgid?
Well, stupid, we have the solution for you!
Take BOOZE+, a revolutionary new serum that will take the blood from your spud and the limber from your fingers. No longer will you let down the ladies with your remarkable sexual readiness.
Come on, get useless!

(May cause spontaneous loss of genitals and limbs.)

This reminds me very strongly of so called "dry sex" practices in sub-Saharan Africa, which is not really a region I'd like to emmulate when it comes to safe sexual practices.

Also, I like how the product can't be used with a condom. Super.

I wandered over from cleolinda

Let me get this straight. They realize that "excess wetness" means arousal. So what they are saying is essentially:

Men, are you TOO good a lover? Are you making your woman so wet that you can't feel her anymore? Then slap that ho, and make her powder up. Then she can feel how big you are!

*shakes head*

OK, I found you over here from cleolinda, and you/your posters comments to this CRACK ME UP! I'm considering writing a letter with, scientific evidence to back me up, that they remove some of the claims from their site (i.e. yeast infections are caused by bacteria, conditioner is good for the vag, etc.)...but I'm not sure they'd understand...

Surfed in from metaquotes.

All I can say is, words fail me. And they sure picked the exact WRONG person to solicit as a publicist. :-)

Another cleolinda groupie!


and oh. My. God. As a biologist, I can guarantee you I have NEVER seen something so backwards and retarded. Can I send these people a basic physiology handbook? Please? I mean, lube companies haven't made millions for nothing!

Oh, and they may be confusing Yeast infections with BVI, or bacterial vaginal infections, which are the slightly less common infections and harder to treat. Again, if you're not a doctor, don't give people medical advise! Seriously, who believes this crap?

Can I friend you?

I'm here from metaquotes

Anyone else notice this? It's on the Disclaimer page.

Models

The photographs on this site are models only, they do not endorse nor necessarily use this product.

Those are models? Why on earth would they pick people who look like that to endorse their product?

This is why I love LJ, strange coincidences abound. Just a few days ago I got caught up in the large discussion on the importance of lube over in norah.

Also, those people look very creepy. Maybe we need to send them a nice gift basket filled with lubes, toys and educational booklets?

May I friend you?

hi, i got linked here by cleolinda

believe it or not, dry sex is a sex practice over in Africa, where men supposedly prefer it over regular sex. This has also been blamed for the spread of STD's and HIV there, and also compounds the fact that women in Africa are sometimes "circumscised". This results in rather bloody and painful sex which women do not enjoy at the very least. Eww.

Use of AbsorbShun natural powder in any quantity may cause temporary tenderness and micro abrasions to the genital area.

Oh yeah, just what I wanted! hundreds of tiny little cuts inside my vagina! That'll feel GREAT!

A friend of mine pointed me to this post. Out of morbid curiosity, I went to the site. There's a place to send them an "opinion" of their product. This is what I sent...

Really, any man who finds it pleasurable to stab his penis into an unaroused vagina has more issues to deal with, than size. You know, like, misogyny? The vagina is -supposed- to be wet. It means your woman is aroused. In other words, she's turned on by you. If you want a dry vagina, there are cheaper, less intrusive ways to turn your woman off. Try farting in bed, and holding the covers over her head. That's a sure-fire winner, or maybe even stinky head-cheese breath. You're talking about inserting a foreign material into a sensitive place that puts the woman at risk for yeast infections, or worse. It's taken years for women to get to the point where we can expect...no, DEMAND to be treated as sexual equals, and then you put something like -this- on the market?! Unbelievable!
