...highlighting my vulva!?

My first thread, so please bear with me.

AIBU to ask what in the world is going on when there's a new product launching this Thursday to highlight vulvas (Not Volvos)!?

I think it's called PerfectV and it's certainly not for victory. Not for women anyway. I understand it's supposed to be some sort of beauty product that helps sort your V out after all the waxing, piercing, vajewelling, etc that goes on down there!

Is it healthy to highlight vulvas? I doubt it very much...

Oh fgs just do what we did in the 80s and just scribble over it with yellow highlighter pen.

Then stick a couple of scented rubbers shaped like cola bottles up there and be done with it.

My sides. 😂

Wait, what the actual fuck?

Exfoliator, tighting serum, actual fucking sparkly cream?! It is a fanny.

Good lord, how have we come so far as a species when those poor men must have been running horrified from our wild fannies for millenia? Thank goodness we have this now. We'll be able to "strip in public" (yep, thats on the website), keep hold of our husbands for longer, and if heaven forbid they find a sparklier fanny elsewhere, we can simply direct our nethers towards the sun and signal a new mate. Thank goodness!

In all seriousness though. This website is fucking offensive. I am perfect as I am, thanks.

Also optional. I'll even offer mullets for the adventurous, Teutonic Grin.

StickThatInYourPipe · 25/07/2017 07:42

Hehe can't wait for the YouTube beauty Vlog 'how to' guides Grin

Teutonic · 25/07/2017 08:14

I'm sold paxillin. Book me in. 😀

BurnThisDiscoDown · 25/07/2017 08:27

Exactly Incitatis! We have lovely neat fanjos and surrounding area, none of this meat and two veg flopping about everywhere untidily. They're obviously the ones that need the help. P serum and P highlighter, anyone?

Wow this is mental ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

Exfoliation for one's vulva?? Shock Confused

diddl · 25/07/2017 08:45

"sort your V out after all the waxing, piercing, vajewelling, etc that goes on down there!"

Say what now?

Well if it needs a sort out after that then there's a simple answer...

VanessaBet · 25/07/2017 08:46

They actually use this Diana Vreeland quotation:

“give them what they never even knew they wanted…”

effectively admitting they've been desperately searching for any gap in the market. My gap doesn't need filling with this thank you very much!

NoddysBell · 25/07/2017 08:50

What a load of shite. And I couldn't see the word 'vulva' once on that site, god forbid that the anatomical name would be mentioned. But exfoliating ones fanny and making it shiny on the other hand is perfectly acceptable.

apostropheuse · 25/07/2017 08:57

This is, by far, the funniest thread I've ever read on MN. Grin

I can't believe anyone will actully buy into this shite - surely Confused

MsHarry · 25/07/2017 08:57

theperfectv.com/pages/our-story

Here it is. all very hush, only a 'V' is mentioned. I hate this and the fact that 2 women have created it is very disappointing. More for us feel insecure about.

blueskyinmarch · 25/07/2017 08:58

I have images of people coming at their vulvas with a Stabilo whilst perched on the side of the bath. Not a pleasant image i have to say.

MsHarry · 25/07/2017 08:59

I shouldn't be surprised after watching Naked Attraction the other night......

VestalVirgin · 25/07/2017 09:04

Aw, I thought it was about a piece of literature that calls attention to the vulva, and it being called a vulva, not a vagina.

... it is obvious English isn't my native language, isn't it? Confused

Some men probably would profit from some highlighter pen on the clitoris, but that wouldn't be healthy.

They'll have to make do with maps: oglaf.com/pirated/

BrokenBattleDroid · 25/07/2017 09:05

This was someone's business idea that probably had to sit with their bank manager and ask for money for Grin

But seriously, what a waste of people's lives making them worry about needing to do this gumpf to their perfectly normal genitals.

WomblingThree · 25/07/2017 09:05

Well done OP. You must have increased traffic to your site by about 1 million percent 🙄.

MumBod · 25/07/2017 09:12

V stands for vulva??

Shit. I bought some and thought it was for my vertabrae.

This is me, now.

Fluffyears · 25/07/2017 09:21

Oh god here we go more companies telling us we have ugly smelly fannies. I'll just stick some Pritt stick and glitter on like you do with Christmas cards inprimary school!

ARoseforEmily · 25/07/2017 09:22

I find a cheap glow stick from the pound shop inserted into my vagina highlights It perfectly. It also works as a landing strip for DH to get his aim spot on.

LovelyBath77 · 25/07/2017 09:25

There are others aren't there I suppose- Femfresh springs to mind...(wasn't it in trouble over a recent ad I heard) Hmm..not sure. But they tend to go on more about the supposed ph balance of the delicate area and soap is too strong so slightly different tack. All not necessary, methinks.
