Lul, how are they marketing them?
Teabags for vampires?

I don’t like to kink shame but I’ll do it when it needs to be done.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Well? Now's a good time.

What if being shamed is my kink?

Headlines like this really make me question how many critically online creeps who probably have never seen a singlular woman besides their mom before are out there buying this kinda stuff.

Assuming this is between two consenting parties (I.e the person knows where their tampon is going), what makes them a creep?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

I am one of those people who thinks it's just creepy regardless of the situation for someone to want to willingly buy used hygiene products. The people selling their used hygiene products, weird, but not creepy in my mind like the buyers.

It's gamer girl bath water all over again, but the adult version.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The gamer girl is also an adult.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Would be so much more fucked up if that'd be child water

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even just the phrase "child water" sounds all fucked up.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's alright when you mean a water meant for drinking by children; it's actually a bit special in its content, and it's good to have that.

It's very much not alright when we mean child bathwater :D

Though, if you want to go a full rabbit hole, I have a special thing for you from one of Chinese provinces...

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

EYYY BOI, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! Once I get you into this ball, we're gonna go on an adventure!

Is there any risk of them being used to taint a crime scene?

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Heh. Taint.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't think so, it's basically dried blood.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's all dried blood, eventually.

[–] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

While we're being gruesomely pedantic, it's not technically blood

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

it looks like a duck and tastes like a duck

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

No differently than using bleach I'd assume

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

now imagine a dildo full of sensors that can map pressure and then a sexhole that can replay those pressures back in sequence.

or vice versa. whats the market potential for feeling the action?

Like FUFMe?

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Market already filled.

This really feels like an "I'm done with the Internet for the evening" kinda story.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean, I get nosebleeds some times. Am I throwing away profits?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Unless you breathe with your pussy, no

Who knows horny men, though...

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

But how would they know the difference?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are we expecting these customers to knowthe difference? I'm over here formulating a business plan, so let me know please.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well, if they are return customers from some other offering...

Otherwise nah, they don't.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I suppose of the bleed is bad enough, and clots enough, they can't tell em apart.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

You're probably still good. They probably aren't going to check where the bid came from, or even if it's yours.
