> [@zweisamkeit](#): > > I assume these would be kept in a nightstand drawer, not the bathroom. The issue is stuff sliding out when you stand up, after all. This. But it’s not a solution I am in search of. I find I can clench the mouth of my vagina long enough to get to the toilet, and standing up is enough to coax most of what needs to come out out. I agree that the idea of swabbing up to the cervix sort of squiks me out. ---

> [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > This seems like a case where it’s not needed. An anus can actively retain rectal contents until an appropriate time for an expulsion, and an anus and rectum can them team up to actively expel rectal contents at the desired moment. I am not a vagina expert, but a vagina, AIUI, lacks this level of control; vaginal contents seep out when you don’t want them to, and are difficult to expel when you want to. > > I assume a vagina expert will be along shortly to confirm or refute my understanding. No. An anus that’s stretched and relaxed does not retain rectal contents. Before it has a chance to revert to its natural state, contents do leak out. ---

> [@zweisamkeit](#): > > I assume these would be kept in a nightstand drawer, not the bathroom. The issue is stuff sliding out when you stand up, after all. I suppose you’re right. Which makes it even worse - somehow I suspect that rummaging around in the bedside drawer, pulling out a foam popsicle, unwrapping it, and shoving it up your hoo-ha would kind of put a damper on any post-coital bliss. ---

Think I’ll stick with the old towel method, to the extent I worry about this at all. ---

> [@zweisamkeit](#): > > I assume these would be kept in a nightstand drawer, not the bathroom. The issue is stuff sliding out when you stand up, after all. I’m a bloke, and I have no intention of sticking one of those up myself, or anyone else, but I think the target market may not be young women who are next to their own nightstand. Or any nightstand at all. ---

Perhaps it’s useful to keep in a purse for easy cleanup after those lunch break broom closet quickies at work. Or backseat of the car shenanigans. Places where there isn’t a handy toilet and roll of tissues. ---

It looks like it’d be useful if the Amazing Colossal Man or the Fifty Foot Woman ever had to clean out their ears ---

It’s like douching after sex. There is no physiological need for it. > _:::: goes to website ::::_ > > “Half roll of toilet paper” - What? Seriously? > > I must have been doing it wrong all these decades. Both the sex and the post-sex clean up. > > Holy crap, people, it’s just sperm, ejaculate, and vaginal fluids. Maybe a little lube, too, depending. It’s not toxic waste. Who are these men they’re having sex with, that you need such an extensive clean up afterwards? Most men shoot a teaspoon of spuz at a time, we’re not talking about a lot here. > > I’m voting it’s at least half “solution in search of a problem”. Like post-sex douching. Go ahead, girlfriend, if it make you feel better. Sort of like, oh, I dunno, bikini waxing. It’s definitely an option but there’s no physical/medical need for it. A normal vagina is self-cleaning. If you have to go somewhere immediately after sex you can piss on the toilet (post-sex pissing also reduces chances of UTI’s, and the company even tells you this in their detailed instructions for use), then use a panty liner. Or use a condom to catch the male fluids and let the guy worry about it. > > Why aren’t they also marketing this for swabbing up santorum? Seems there is just as much a need for that as vagina-swabbing. Perhaps she was dating Peter North.
