Our Labia AND Pubes Are Just Fine, Thanks: Part IV

Posted by BeckySharper in You Have Got To Be Fucking Kidding Me, Beauty Culture, Ladybits, Ridiculousness on Mar 18, 2010, 9:00am | 12 comments

Ladies! Have you waxed off your pubes and replaced them with sparkly vejazzles yet? No? Well, I hope you’re using the right products on your bush.

Not only is there Betty Beauty, to keep your pubes colorful (they even have “bridal blue” dye, in case your bush isn’t old, new or borrowed), there’s now Muff-So-Soft conditioner to make your bush soft and femme–the way a woman should be! Thanks to Harpyness reader Alana R. for the link—I had seen a FAILblog-linked post on Jezebel with a picture of Muff-So-Soft, but wasn’t aware that it was actually available for purchase.

Alana commented: “Obviously this is the usual bullshit being marketed to make us insecure about things we shouldn’t be insecure about. And for the record, nearly every man I’ve ever been with needs Muff-So-Soft WAY more than I do.”

True dat. But I doubt the Cosmetic Industrial Complex has plans for a sweetly scented conditioner to tame the wiry man-bush.

It’s also worth noting that at $12 for a 2 oz. bottle, Muff-So-Soft costs three times as much per ounce as my favorite ultra-rich Aveda conditioner. So if you rock a lush lady-garden–or want to silken up your dude’s–why bother with Muff-So-Soft at all?

    Seems like a bad business plan, if yankin’ your pubes out at the root is the cool/lady-like thing to do these days.

    Also, MINT? Excellent! Just the thing to go with my “internal flavor enhancer.”

    At times like these, I always think of Sarah Haskins.

    @PhDork: The one silver lining here: the existence of this product would indicate that the bald beaver look is going out of fashion, at least somewhat.

    What about this look for our nether region?

    Hmm, that didnt’t work.

    How do you post a hyperlink here?

    MM: Before that picture I did not know that I could love a beard flower dude. Now, I don’t know if I can love anyone else.

    Thank you for facillitating this bittersweet revelation.

    @MM: Perfect for spring!

    Goodness, I saw this before and thought it was a JOKE! I should have known it was real, after parts I-III of attack on ladybits. Sigh.

    Men do need it way more. Where is theirs?

    I just hope that BeckySharper is right about this being indicative of hairlessness going out of style. But I doubt it. And that makes me sad.

    My totally unaltered and beautiful curls do not endorse this product.

    I’m still waiting for a tiny handbag to complete this funny little “lady bit” that I’m picturing in my head. It’s like we have a Barbie down there!

    Although I am fed up with this idea that our lady parts have to be ‘perfect’ and bald/soft/smelling like flowers or whatever’s trendy this week, I don’t think the dye exactly falls into that category. Judging by the number of people I know who would want to use such a product and their attitudes about sex, it seems like it’s more of a novelty sex item than anything else…

    [...] aesthetically pleasing. But that was just to lambast some ridiculous new trend in genital grooming (pube conditioner! pube dye! vajazzling!) or pernicious cultural standard. Now I’m going to get [...]
