Ok so I have discovered this product on amazon today which is a labia dye (!) to cover up a greying labia as this seemingly happens as we women get older. Why have I never heard of this?? (Not the dye, the greying labia!). Is this true??

Granted I did read about it in the Daily Fail however the product, called "My New Pink Button" Hmm, is true and is selling on Amazon US in 4 different colours - "Ginger", "Marilyn", "Bettie" and "Audrey"...!

The product description is: My New Pink Button (tm) is a temporary dye to restore the youthful pink color back to your labia. There is no other product like it. This patent pending formula was designed by a female certified Paramedical Esthetician after she discovered her own genital color loss. While looking online for a solution she discovered thousands of other women asking the same questions regarding their color loss. After countless searches revealing no solution available and a discussion with her own gynecologist she decided to create her own. Now there is a solution!

www.amazon.com/My-New-Pink-Button-Ginger/dp/B002P0Y03Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1379338270&sr=1-1&keywords=my+new+pink+button

Surely IANBU to have never heard of a greying labia and someone please tell me it's an urban myth!

Great- another thing porn is telling me to worry about.

Life's too short to worry about what colour your fanny lips are.

interesting first post eh...

I have been a carer for many years of the elderly, and can honestly say, if it is true i haven't noticed!
And trust me i have seen 100's of womens lady bits.
I don't know if that it down to the fact i really don't notice after seeing so many, but i imagine at that point in life you really don't give a damn anyways Grin

SuburbanRhonda · 16/09/2013 14:52

DH's eyesight is getting worse with age anyway, so I don't think it matters what colour mine end up ....

If I'm going to go to the trouble of dying my labia I at least want something interesting, like zebra print.

roath · 16/09/2013 14:58

I have never ever heard of the possibility of my bits going grey so it was a bit of a shock to me when I read it so wanted to know if this was common knowledge and I had somehow missed this over the years! Like one of those things that isn't talked about!

I wondered how long it would take someone to mention this is my first post. It's not, I'm a paranoid serial namechanger due to knowing people using MN and not wanting to out myself when I inadvertently include to many personal details.

Oooo I like the zebra print idea mind...

"certified Paramedical Esthetician" my greying arse. Certified what, exactly?

I bet that "discussion with her gynacologist" was short and consisted of "It's totally normal. Now get out of my office."

elcranko · 16/09/2013 15:49

I've heard it all now! I can't imagine why anyone would give enough of a shit to buy this product!

mignonette · 16/09/2013 15:52

No such thing as a Paramedical Aesthetician. Maybe she is an embalmer......

Sounds like one of those numpty qualifications bought online.

roath · 16/09/2013 16:39

Have just googled it. Seemingly is someone who works alongside doctors, dermatologists etc to peripatetic the skin for surgery and look after the skin post op during recovery.

I liked the bit about the patent is pending. Sounds like a dragon's den. I wonder what Duncan Bannatyne would make of someone pitching this idea Grin

Peripatetic? Actually meant prepare...

I'm a nurse and can't say I have ever noticed greying fanny lips!! Its a bit like the bumhole bleach though isn't...fecking stupid!

BraveLilBear · 16/09/2013 16:50

Ahem. I know someone with grey lady bits. Not totally grey, mind, if we stick with the animal variety one might describe it as akin to a tabby ahem cat.

The person in question made this discovery during pregnancy, aged young 30s.

My friend says she will not be dying her pussy.

juniper9 · 16/09/2013 17:25

So we're meant to bleach our bots and dye our fanjos? Fantastic.

NotSpartacus · 16/09/2013 17:28

Love the Amazon reviews for that product. Grin

roath · 16/09/2013 17:38

I wonder if anyone will now be checking the colour of their bits after reading this thread Grin

Haven't read the reviews. Will need to check that out!

Beastofburden · 16/09/2013 17:39

do we think anyone will be stupid enough to buy this stuff?

roath · 16/09/2013 17:41

Just read them. Hahahahaha!

I've had a grey fanny after an incident involving blueberries, does that count? Grin

juniper9 · 16/09/2013 17:43

roath I wish I could see my bits to know what colour they are!

digerd · 16/09/2013 17:46

Do you mean the inner sides of the lips? I can't see mine as eyesight failing and too stiff to bend over near enough to seeGrin. I don't care anyway. Care more about the ever increasing stiffness in joints and muscles - sigh.

juniper9 · 16/09/2013 17:49

I'm 38 weeks pregnant. Can't see anything, including my toes although discovered yesterday, using a mirror, that I'm full of stretch marks under bump. Argh!

MisselthwaiteManor · 16/09/2013 18:17

Livid you can't say that and not tell the whole story

roath · 16/09/2013 18:40

I was going to say the same thing WhyIs Grin C'mon Livid, spill!
