I just read this on my newsfeed and am really shocked and angry. It's a "glue" designed by a man to shut the vagina during your period and then "opens" it up when you wee. It has been granted a patent but not on sale to the public yet. The "inventor" is a proper arsehole too.

Wtaf?!

Why use a modified Pritt Stick? He's missing a trick with re-branding some scented Duct Tape strips. Rrrrrrrrripppp! Grin

This time next year Rodney....

Why would I want old blood up my fanny? Why? What's it going to do up there apart from fester?

If it works down there, he should use it to glue his mouth shut. Along with a few other males around the world.

Good Lord! Horrific, the idea and the perp. Shudders.

(Besides, I'm not sure that he's had much experience of female anatomy as the labia don't tend to err, 'dangle' enough around the vaginas entrance, they are contoured and the widest part of the curve does not correspond to the vagina, in fact the labia gradually curve away to nothing at that point.

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt as women come in all different shapes and sizes, it just wouldn't work!

Yuk, disgusting. What is next! glue your nose shut if you get a cold!

He's a loon. And he thinks he is so clever coming up with an invention!

How about something that stops men saying stupid things!

This has been running through my mind instead of me getting sleep grr!

Three more points:

  1. He says waking with & unsticking your lips is fun! That's the mouth lips btw. Errr, how is licking your lips fun?
  2. His description of the wee unstickkng labia and 'allowing everything to wash out'... implies he thinks women wee out of their vaginas, or that the wee somehow travels in a different direction in order to help with this 'washing out'
'Wee, the perfect alternative to water'. Or, 'save water, take a golden shower'. Perfect government campaign slogan Grin
  1. Idiotically he's suggesting that glueing your privates together to store a pool of blood and other menses gunk is somehow more hygienic than a pad?! He even suggests it would lower the risk of 'infection'?!

Sorry (ruddy insomnia), my last thought. When he whitters on with that lips analogy, he says the whole 'wee unsticks the glue' thing is the equivalent to wetting your morning-stuck-together-mouth-lips from behind with your wet tongue. Has he not realised that periods are wet too? And a build up of period blood etc would be more likely tounstick the lips than waiting until a wee happens?

less shuddering and more sleeping!

All I can think is one sneeze, a bit of pee sneaks out, annoying but no big deal. Then the dam breaks and rather than an annoying dampness you are faced with the opening of the elevator doors from The Shining.

Also that man is an idiot. I haven't had a period in a year and a half and I am just as distracted as ever.

Some woman-hating bollocks. It sounds like temporary fgm. Its a male fantasy, like chastity belts.
