Vaginal steaming

Oh. Dear. Og.

They still Rent those things at supermarkets! You mean someone might rent one to clean a carpet after someone else… Oh, Hells No!!!

“Helen…? There’s something not quite right about the living room carpet. Did the kids spill anything in here…?”

I think you have that backwards. The idea of somebody else’s nasty carpet grunge being wafted up one’s ladyparts is a far worse idea.

Carpets are filthy disgusting things before and *after *cleaning. Adding a little steamed leftover ladyjuice isn’t going to harm your precious carpets even a smidgen. Nor render them any more anti-hygienic than they already were.

You just might be right.
To be fair, I’ve never Once heard of a Lady Bits Tattoo stating either,

“Welcome!”
or

“Wipe Yer Damned Feet, You!”

“…You certainly are one FINE woman! Where are you from again?”
“Karastan…”

I was at the Korean Spa today and plenty of people were getting their mugwort steam on. I don’t think its literal powered steaming. I think it may be like sitting over a bowl of hot tea.

Hard to tell though, because the ladies wear these crazy sack dresses that go from the neck and encompass the entire steaming apparatus (so you can’t see anything but their head).

Also, they call it a “hip bath” in English. It involves neither hips nor baths. Discuss.

For my next fortune, I shall markets these made small enough to attach to the metrosexual penis and testicles.

BTW, do they give themselves facials?

I’ve only had them raw, never tried them steamed.

By the way, even among crunchy granola woo-woo crazies, these are controversial at best and commonly eeeeewed.

I just can’t figure out the anatomy involved. I mean, forget that the vagina is a self cleaning unit…how do you get the steam up in there? It’s not an open tunnel! But whn you ask Them if they mean vulva steam, they say no, vagina, and then attribute all these internal benefits. I dunno. Sounds f’ing weird to me. Sounds like part of that thinking that vulvas/vagina are dirty and bad.

“I’ll take a half-dozen with lemon juice to go. What, you’re a Korean spa, not a restaurant? But your sign out front says Special Today: Steamed Clams.”
“Next you’ll be telling me the brasserie down the street doesn’t sell women’s foundation garments.”

This is the most risqué sound effect I’ve seen him do.

According to the link, the steam is supposed to cleanse the uterus.

Tantilizingly unexplained is how the steam passes the cervix.

Perhaps a new piece could be added to “The Vagina Monologues,” so that Ms. Paltrow can learn anatomy.

Battered wasn’t what I thought either…

It’s especially helpful if you like it with pleats.

what about “abandon, ye all hope, who enter here”?

Sounds like the usual advice against vaginal douches - that the vagina is self-cleaning and attempts to clean it with vaginal douches can do more harm than good - might also apply to this vaginal-steaming procedure.

I get thinking it’s completely stupid, but what’s so “ewwwww” about crouching over a bowl of hot water? I mean compared to eating placenta or breast feeling until the age if 12 it’s pretty tame.

The steam gets in there the same way a fan running in your room kills you: it doesn’t, the whole thing is superstition-based cultural practice.

‘Arbeit Macht frei’

Same here. And I’m no Rockefeller.

That would be Chris Martin of Coldplay.

Sorry, what again? :smiley:

Because humans are monkeys with internet access. Even among supposedly sex positive hippie freaks, vaginas are gross when *other *people talk about them.
