Was in boots today just mooching around and came across this wonderful new (?) product that gave your hair an added lift. Just some extension/wig type thing.
What got me laughing was the name...

Bumpits

I think ive been hanging round with my 3 and a half year old too much and his sense of humour is rubbing off on me...

Badda bump. it

happycopter · 27/05/2010 23:38

Sorry. I don't even have wine as an excuse.

booyhoo · 27/05/2010 23:43

oh asda have these at the minute. my friend bought one. they look really stupid.

Kaloki · 28/05/2010 00:57

Could be worse I guess, am sure things similar to that were called rats in the past.

BigFatSepticToe · 28/05/2010 10:43

lol at bumpits,stoopid name!
deffo sounds like a word a kid would use - DS called his inner elbows elbowpits

MmeLindt · 28/05/2010 10:51

They look really silly, and I cannot believe that they would not fall out.

Now I know how the wife of DH's American colleague gets her hair to puff up like that. Must have a look and see if I can spot her Bumpit.

nickschick · 28/05/2010 22:09

I looked at them out of the box and they look like protracters with a grip on them - i cant see how theyd stay in.

Tigerbomb · 29/05/2010 00:46

I would have giggled for sure, then bought one to show my friends so we could giggle some more.
Surely The Hollywood Bumpit that is being advertised means having no hair at all

MadameCheese · 29/05/2010 01:12

Why would anyone want to volumise their crack hair?

nickschick · 29/05/2010 16:35

Ive bought some today .

beaker25 · 29/05/2010 17:12

I saw these recently and it took me ages to twig it was called bump it. I stodd there for quite awhile wondering why you'd possibly need a hair styling product for your bum pit.

I got dp over to look and he a good snigger too, so notjust you!

nickschick · 29/05/2010 17:49

They are bloody hard to get in .....

TiggyD · 29/05/2010 21:31

They make you look like your head is being humped by a tribble.

My DH has worked for Boots for 5yrs. And is now a store manager of a local Boots pharmacy.

But he STILL laughs every time he sees the hair removal product, Nads.

Every. Freakin. Time.

Especially when they're on offer - a third off Nads, buy one Nad get one free...

one of the many reasons I love him!

chegirlmonkeybutt · 29/05/2010 21:55

You know why they are called Nads?

Well I do.

So I will tell you.

I am a huge fan of of TV shopping channels. I can watch them for hours. They are mesmerizing and I my dream job would be to be a presenter.

So this woman (think she is Australian) had a daughter who was quite hairy. So she invented this product for removing hair. Her DD was called Nadia or Nadine or something like that.

So she named the product, soon to go global, that would forever remind her DD that she was over hursuite (or however you bloody spell it), after her poor DD.

She didnt even use her full, pretty name.
She shortened it to an ugly, gonad inspired nickname.

Way to go mom!

Shaz10 · 29/05/2010 21:59

"This is for my hairy daughter". Marvellous.

MathsMadMummy · 29/05/2010 22:01

I'll tell DH - though it probably won't help on the laughing front...

Lucypeanut · 29/05/2010 22:06

Love this thread, so funny!

allbie · 29/05/2010 22:40

Christ! We call crumpets bumpits....

EnvelopeDuvet · 29/05/2010 22:42

I bought some. They are shite. I too read it as bum pits, it took me a while to cotton on

nickschick · 30/05/2010 00:14

enveloipe did you manage to get them in???

MathsMadMummy · 30/05/2010 10:24

Thanks for that chegirl

I made the mistake of telling DH (and his son who was staying over) about Bumpits!

It's a good thing his store is quite small and probably won't stock them. He'd never get any work done!
