::takes a moment to bow head and fondly remember the late Autolycus, who left us far too soon::
Am I the first to point out that this is clearly a product for women, not for girls?
I wasn’t thinking of using wipes for post-coital vagina swabbing. I was thinking of their purpose for post-shitting ass-swabbing.
And there’s absolutely no reason for a woman to swab all the way back to her cervix after sex. She can if she wants to, I suppose. It’s like douching after sex. There is no physiological need for it.

“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.
Yes, you are–the other posters didn’t go for pedantic proscriptivist language policing on a very well established, well understood use of a word. (Alternately it could be argued that you aren’t going far enough–you should be complaining that he should have said “persons of vagina”, because some girls have penises.)
Aw, Broomstick, I’m just happy to see the word santorum continue being used - unironically, with no reference to its origins - after all these years have gone by.

Odd question from the O.P. though, unless it’s a subtle shill for the product makers, or (ahem, more likely) vapid salaciousness.
I mean, I don’t go around asking dudes about various man-stuff they buy or use; I figure they have reasons that make sense only to owners of said equipment.
With all that outta the way … we live in a capitalist society. People are constantly inventing products in the hopes that enough people with disposable income will go, “Oooh! Me want!” regardless of how stupid the item might seem to others.
How would you feel if they made these out of chocolate-covered cotton?
Cripes, I could save it up for a month and the Lovely and Talented Mrs. Shodan wouldn’t need one of those things. Now I feel inadequate. Of course the wet spot is usually more over on her side anyway.
Still, “swabbing all the way up to the cervix” kind of gives me the willies and I don’t even have a cervix. I mean, I brush my teeth but I don’t try to get all the way to my tonsils.
I actually clicked on the link and watched the little demo. I’ll never be able to eat a Twinkie again.

IS that how they do it in the land of cleves, dip their cotton wads in chocolate:confused:
Who needs to clean the filling out of a Twinkie?
It’s insurance for your sheets so the ads for the product will feature … Flo!
Or for many gay men. Doesn’t it work in anuses? They’re missing a huge marketing demographic.
I absolutely missed it the first time through, but just as I was reaching for my Latin dictionary to fight my ignorance, I remembered.
Thank You, both, for giving me a smile this morning.
I think spell check stepped on your punchline.
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.
“Mom, I don’t wan’t cotton candy or a corndog. Can I have a ‘Babe-on-a-stick’ please? Please…? I’m old enough…”

The first thing I thought of was “where on earth would I store them?”
My bathroom storage areas are already pretty-well stuffed with the usual things, such as spare TP, various health and beauty items, and sanitary supplies. Some people are lucky enough to have long counters with lots of space underneath and/or a shelved closet right in the bathroom, but I suspect that for most of us, in-bathroom storage space is already at a bit of a premium. They look pretty bulky.
I thought of this too. I don’t think it would be a good idea to do this on a regular basis, of course, but if one had some extenuating need to dry things out down there, wouldn’t inserting a tampon and waiting a half-hour do the job?
You know how we say that certain things are “first-world problems?” Post-coital wetness certainly isn’t a first-world problem, but this product is a stellar example of a first-world solution.
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.
Would everybody have a share?
I’d feel the dread of an incoming yeast infection.
