I needed some Preparation H, so I went to my wife’s medicine cabinet and borrowed her’s. I wiped it off with some toilet paper before and after, leaving it on the edge of the sink.
My wife came home and noticed that her Preparation H had been sitting on the sink, where I had carelessly left it. I heard her walk down the stairs and into the kitchen, where I was reading a newspaper. She pulled the Preparation H from the side pocket of her robe. She scrunched her nose, “Did you use this.”
“Yeah. So?”
“That is the grossest thing I have ever heard.” She walked to the garbage and tossed it in.
“But honey…we share every other fluid.” I said, a smile starting to slip.
“This isn’t funny, it’s wierd!” She continued, and I started to detect that she really was serious.
I said, “Two words: Anal, Sex.”
“I guess your right.” She said and headed back upstairs.
“Wait a sec.” I shouted as she walked up the stairs. I ran to the garbage and retrieved the Preparation H.
“Are you forgetting something?” I asked. She looked at the tube and said “Nah…you can have it.” And she went on her way.
I’m reticent to put this in a thread about anal-ointment, butt…
I had a girlfriend that absolutely frekaed out at the idea of sharing a tooth brush. No problems with kissing, french-kissing or oral sex, but no sharing tooth brushes.

By the way the domain prep-h.com is registered to Captain Bob’s Sales & Promotions Inc. It is possible that that site is not the most reliable source of information.
The domain preparationh.com is registered American Home Products Corporation which is the parent company of Whitehall-Robins Healthcare, the makers of Preparation H. Their site has no information about beauty tips and mostly deals with using Prep H to treat hemorrhoids. Imagine that.
It is nice to be able fight a little ignorance in a thread in which the general question boiled down to, “What’s up with my wife?”
Lance Turbo, nope, SDMB is my little secret. But I’m seriously considering telling her about it so I can cash in on that $1,000,000.00!
I agree, this post belongs in MPSIMS. When I originally wrote the post, I was planning on addressing health issues, etc., which I plain forgot.
I told my wife, after reading the follow-ups, that some models used Preparation H for under eye smoothness. She said she had never heard that before. I said, “Let me get it for you, the tube is right in my cabinet.” She politely declined.
Apparently, if she were ever to try the Preparation H beauty secret, she would use a fresh tube, and then have that tube be the “dedicated eye-care” tube.
The Preparation H tube has a long, extended tip at the front where the ointment comes out. And instead of ointment coming out of tip, it comes out of the sides and must be inserted in the rectum for application.
Essentially, we would be sticking the same tube into each of our respective anuses. Wheareas you might share a tube with your wife, you would never share the tube with a complete stranger. Kind of like sharing a toothbrush, but instead of saliva, you would be sharing a minute amount of excrement.
