'Glue for labia'

[ooohsopink]

A US chiropractor has 'developed' a 'glue' that makes your labia stick together when you are having a period, to hold back the menstrual blood until you next pee.

Apparently, this is hygienic and will help women from becoming distracted by their monthly menstrual cycle.

Discuss.

Surely if the curtains can't be opened, the legs can't walk?!

Does he think that dealing with the blood is the one and only thing "distracting" women when they have their periods?

The "inventor" clearly hates women.

The product sounds crap but purely from a business perspective his comments are a tad Gerald Ratner.

WTF?

I'm not distracted by my period as such - these last few days I have been a lot more distracted by the fact that my period was late...

In fact, now AF is here, I'm more distracted by the tugging pain in my tummy than the need to change pads.

Honestly, this man hasn't the first clue what it's like to have periods!

"What about a heavy, clotty, perimenopausal, floody period? I'm prepared to be impressed if it can withstand that, but I'm not expecting it to be able to" bloody hell, I would have needed the equivalent of Trump's wall to hold back mine.
Chiropractor -not a gynaecologist. Knows squat about women's bodies apart from them being disgusting (to him). Expect more of his ilk in the coming years.

Sounds like thrush in a tube for me

It's given me a brilliant idea!

Forget periods, rubbish idea.

Let's talk penises. Condoms? A thing of the past! Just glue the end of your feller-me-lad together and hey presto! Instant contraception!

Just wee it off later. I can see no downsides.

It's the product of the future

As a health professional who has seen a lot of different variations of labia, vulva and vaginal openings (introitus) I can categorically say that I can't figure out how the hell this would work! If it's meant to glue the labia minora together, what about the actual introitus? Or are women meant to also glue their vaginas shit too? Like some temporary infibulation/FGM type practise?
I think this geezer needs his lips glued shut. Permanently.

I meant vaginas shut, not vaginas shit...

The ultimate in mansplaining.

"Ladies! Why haven't you considered gluing your genitals shut BEFORE? What do you mean, you think pads, tampons and mentrual cups are perfectly adequate? What do you mean, I haven't thought it through?"

What a twat.

Not sure id want that. (I remember how horrible it was when I got labial fusion after my lo was born and had to have an op to cut it open again).
I'll stick to using tampons and putting up with it for 5 days I think.

Hmmm invented by a man, what a surprise. I ll stick to my own regime thanks !

So sick of all this misogynist bullshit....

My labia minora are tiny, practically non existent.

And when I had PCOS related period issues I was losing blood clots the size of bloody mandarins. Never mind the amount of blood.

It'd be like glueing two postage stamps together to hold back an alpine avalanche.

daft prick

Jesus Christ what did I just read.

I thought this was a joke.

My labia doesn't completely cover my vaginal opening, I'm pretty sure if I tried this all the blood would just seep up my bum crack. For whatever reason that often happens to me anyway, but at least if I'm wearing a pad it contains it.

I want to comment on this but I'm distracted by my period and can't type.

I'll return in 5 days to say what a twat this guy sounds.

Our periods stifle us and play with our heads....

Apart from you Fuckyouchris that was a genius idea......!

I take it you came up with this while you weren't blobbing a crusty smelly disgusting mess onto your diaper?

What is he talking about when he says women are distracted by their periods? Distracted how? They really don't distract me that much. How can putting in and removing a tampon every few hours distract me at work? I go to the loo more often as I drink so much water/tea!

They are not as gross and disgusting as he is making out, how would he know all this having never had a period himself?

I assume he's saying those nasty hormones render us barely functional for one week in four. That's why we haven't come up with any decent ideas for how to deal with our periods. But not to worry here he is to pat us on the head, say dear dear don't worry, I and my fully functioning man brain have the solution.

chris I would patent that! You're probably on to something...

I think I've found my raison d'etre. I have been placed on this earth to glue penises. Why did I not see it before.

And I can easily dismiss any grumbles from the men who do it by just saying, "You clearly have no idea about penises, if you did you would have come up with this idea ages ago."

I love this, it's like that boy who said "can't you just hold it".

And I think having my labia/vsgina glued in anyway would be very distracting.

Hilarious that it is called 'mensez' than there there is a massive mansplain about how disgusting periods are. Mensez wimmin foul.

(I understand the menses link before anyone thinks I'm being addled by oestrogen)

What the actual hell!! That guy cannot be for real?! It must be a joke!
