Not to Jr mod or anything but you should probably give a description considering the topic has to do with sex stuff. ---

Yeah, not going to a random link without further information. Also, may need to observe the two-click rule just based on the vague description in the OP. ---

I love the little video with the Twinkie. But there’s still the problem of what to do with the thing afterwards. ---

All right, here’s a description: it’s a product designed to clean up one’s vagina after sex. Basically a little stick with absorbent material at the end, in the general shape of a popsicle. I am not qualified to give an opinion. ---

A swab on a stick for cleaning up after a sexual romp? You could be facing measurable amounts of bodily fluids, you’ll need a quicker picker upper, more like a mop to clean up in aisleV ---

Please do not flush either down said toilet. Except wipes are pretty much only suitable for external use. I mean maybe you can reach in a little ways, but you can’t get a wipe in all the way to your cervix, right? If you haven’t already done so, check out the short demonstration video on their website, featuring a cream-filled Twinkie. > [@chela](#): > > A swab on a stick for cleaning up after a sexual romp? You could be facing measurable amounts of bodily fluids, you’ll need a quicker picker upper, more like a mop to clean up in aisleV Based on their description, the absorbent sponge-material sounds like it has a lot more capacity than a cotton swab. ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > It’s a douche… _on a stick!_ So, my sister, like Fred MacMurray, has three sons. There was a phase where the youngest was teased pretty mercilessly by his older brothers. At one point, the youngest asked his brothers if the kitchen dish washing sponge-on-a-stick had a name. The oldest answered nonchalantly, “it’s called a douche”. Soon everyone knew about this. I was in their kitchen, walked up to the sink and said, “hey, very nice douche”, and youngest told me it was new. This went on for at least a year before he found out we were all ragging on him. To this day (he’s 25ish) if he says/does something stupid, everyone says, “douche!”. ---

> [@HeyHomie](#): > > Is there really a need for this? Mrs. Homie has gotten by for two decades with a towel and waiting for things to sort themselves out. That’s basically how women have gotten by for hundreds of years. In fact, we’ve gotten by for millenia without most of the modern conveniences that exist today. But don’t we want to do better than just “getting by?” ---
