...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...

Highlighting my fanny big sharpie write on inner thigh 'here it is' with an arrow? Good grief, am I thinking this has come from America and that mad family with big bums or that towie lot?

MinesaBottle · 26/07/2017 21:48

Nope, Girty, but the founder is American, strangely enough!

Elledouble · 26/07/2017 22:00

I'm not sure it's worth highlighting my V any more with my post-baby overhang getting in the way...

paxillin · 26/07/2017 23:43

Also surely it'd rub off in your knickers?

No! You can get your foof out like those Scandinavian ladies, didn't you read the sales pitch? No knickers necessary anymore with a sparkling V Grin.

What about this?

...highlighting my vulva!?
sarasabrownie · 27/07/2017 00:28

Scandi style labia - WTF does that even mean? Minimalist and white-washed with a fecking reindeer silhouette? I was appalled the other day when I read about someone cheerfully admitting having a bit of labial tidying (ie. brutal surgery) after all the wear and tear and years of WAXING their poor 'V' had been through. How's that for a double whammy for womanhood - have your labia stripped for a few decades and it will make you 'baggier' and then you'll need surgery?!!

My funniest moment of this thread (and Christ they're have been many) is whoever said about the highlighting of the vulva as conjuring images of ' coming at their vulvas with a Stabilo'. Boss!

ChuffCloud · 27/07/2017 02:27

No one should be exfoliating their foof!

elmiee · 27/07/2017 03:12

Was curious to see if a female or male came up with the ridiculous idea, found out it was a female.

"She embraced the new and challenging environment by immersing herself in the local culture. It was her natural curiosity that led to her to become enchanted with the carefree confidence that embodies the Scandinavian woman. She thought, “if only I could bottle it.”"

Yes, well done love, you've totally nailed bottling carefree Scandinavian women. I am sure they are proud of you and so touched with this range you have made in their honor.

"In celebration of the launch, Avonda recently invited her American girlfriends to Copenhagen to bare it all"

Oh, ffs the poor Scandinavian women didn't even get an invite to the launch, unbelievable! Haha

Pocketangel · 27/07/2017 09:27

Just to turn this into a different kind of thread - they lost me with an obscure placement of an apostrophe on the word its'. Any company that cannot be bothered to make sure they can punctuate their website properly has no place selling me intimate beauty products. Just my opinion... 🙄

bsbabas · 27/07/2017 10:43

Could you not I'm bi

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 27/07/2017 12:16

bsbabas,

Eh?

GinaFordCortina · 27/07/2017 13:35

"Carefree confidence" is highlighting one's vulva?

FUNM · 27/07/2017 13:37

@Pocket there is also another misplaced comma after 'beautiful', NOUN - cant remember where dont they have a ScandiSpellCheck?

Anyone tried the PAssino Dust and can give us a review?

OhLaVache · 27/07/2017 13:49

MNHQ why is this thread still here?! It's covert promotion of the worst kind!!!

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 27/07/2017 14:29

"Why is this thread still here?! It's covert promotion of the worst kind!!!"

It's backfired spectacularly, though, in terms of increasing their actual sales...brand awareness, yes, but I'd say 99.9% of posters on this thread are treating the whole concept with derision and any RL "word-of-mouth" would likely be negative in the extreme.

(Plus there are some comedy gems amongst the comments Grin).

OhLaVache · 27/07/2017 14:39

Yeah - it has been a comedy treasure trove zuzu - I still feel like we're being manipulated though. The OP was all 'this ain't right!' so I guess she just wanted to get people talking, even if it was negative. And it's had over 10k views. Even if we're not all rushing out to grab a tube of twat glitter, we're still being played. I must admit though, the tone of the OP did crack me up. So darn breezyGrin

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 27/07/2017 14:42

True, Vache.

"twat glitter"...ha!

monstiebags · 27/07/2017 15:45

I would imagine these products are for the sex industry- not sure why anyone else would even come across such a product.
Don't know many when who go around saying the word vulva so suspect op is an advertiser

Emmageddon · 27/07/2017 16:24

Oh my. I need some twat glitter in my life.

OrgyofSausages · 27/07/2017 16:31

Surely 'Scandi-girls' (boak) want to be known for something a little more meaningful than having glittering minges?

What would Anna and Agnetha from Abba say? at least they could sing nice songs.

Tove Jannson? at least she could write nice Moomin books.

Ulrikakakaka Johnson? At least she had nice hair (not fanny hair) and appeared on Gladiators a lot.

Scandi-girls one and all, and not a contoured, glittery minge in sight.

I certainly will NOT be letting my 2 dds experiment with any of this anti-feminist bollocks. It just encourages people to be frightened of their own genitals and makes people afraid of shagging in case their tackle isn't highlighted. Kills the moment , totally.

OrgyofSausages · 27/07/2017 16:33

In my day (80s) we just shagged as and when we felt like it......totally free and unencumbered by the ridiculous fear of not having applied glitterstick and feathers to our vadge.

Fanciedachange17 · 28/07/2017 09:02

Blatant manipulating strategy OP. Do you think we're stupid?

Comedic geniuses I salute you. Too many to re-quote but you've made me laugh so much the dog got worried.

Here's hoping the twat glitter fairies lose shed loads of money and NO ONE is foolish enough to think their body is not perfect just as it is. And if you DO it then don't do it for the pleasure of some dozy man, do it to make yourself laugh.

-gets off soapbox and wanders off in a sparkly puff of powder-

Beeziekn33ze · 28/07/2017 12:33

Sausages - well, yes!

tb · 28/07/2017 15:33

IMVHO, any man that can't find one without it being highlighted is a waste of oxygen, but then I'm a grumpy old bat.
