    I’m not going to bother searching to confirm, but I’m pretty sure it’s a steam generator that you sit on. I don’t know why you’d want that.

      I don’t know why everyone is so clueless. Women are carrying these things around with them everywhere.

      What’s your favourite vagina tea? I’m partial to Lady Grey or Red Bush.

        This is why sex ed is so important in our schools. Puritanical Republicans are why so many poor American kids who grow up in red states don’t know about basic things like periods, contraception, and vaginal spas.

        wow. good find, thank you.

        so… how is steam good for the vaginal ecosystem? seems like that would support bacterial growth, i guess? Hopefully the kind of organisms you want, and not just… yeast

          I don’t know anyone dumb enough to find out. That is viscerally unpleasant to imagine doing. It’s some of the most sensitive tissue on your body and you’re supposed to sit directly over water that was boiling a few minutes ago?

            I can’t work out, how kinder eggs can’t have toys inside them in the US, in case some kid scarfs the whole thing in one go, but a product that could cause serious scalding by not following the steps exactly, especially to such sensitive skin could possibly be ok?

              Because you’ve been a victim of corporate anti-regulation propaganda.

              The Kinder egg thing is because anything non-edible is banned from being mixed into foodstuffs as a general food quality measure. As in you can’t add gravel or dirt or whatever. It was also supposed to ban sawdust but they realized they could just call it cellulose and say it’s a fiber supplement.

              This has the side effect of banning cheap plastic trash in your cheap chocolate that is a stupid product for morons (children).

                You really want to do the whole American vs European chocolate thing?

                Because Euroean doesn’t taste like vomit, unlike all US chocolates.

                The food act the ban is based on is from 1938, whereas this import ban is from like the 90’s, so I’m more leaning to some capitalist shenanigans to block a competitor from a market idk. Although they were illegal even before that based on the law from 38, someone had imported some and were selling them and then they did the recall and import ban

                And theyre serious about enforcing that

                In January 2011, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatened a Manitoba resident with a 300 Canadian dollar fine for carrying one egg across the US border into Minnesota. In June 2012, CBP held two Seattle men for two and a half hours after discovering six Kinder Surprise eggs in their car upon returning to the US from a trip to Vancouver. According to Joseph Cummings of Seattle, Washington, one of the men detained, a border guard quoted the potential fine as “$2,500 per egg”.

              I think even if following the steps exactly there could still be burns. “a few minutes” is ambiguous and could be technically satisfied after just 3 minutes.
