New Labia Dye Lets You Piss Rainbows, Bed Unicorns

Good morning, Gloss readers! On this fine Monday morning, have you stopped to consider that everything is wrong with your vagina. It’s simultaneously too big and too small, too hairy or too hairless, inadequately steamed with 13 herbs and spices, your Swarovski crystal sunburst is tilted 15 degrees off-center, and to make matters worse, it is the wrong color. No one will ever have sex with you again. But fear not, because in addition to inventing another imaginary vagina problem for you to worry about, someone has invented another expensive thing to sell you: labia dye.

My New Pink Button is a temporary dye intended to turn one’s labia a different color. It’s available in four shades of pink from light pink “Marilyn” to a dark, rosy “Audry.” Audry is described as being for “the woman who wants to be daring” and wants her fashion vagina to be “a bold burgundy pink colour.” (This reminds me of a very fair-skinned friend who read in some “sex tips” article that painting one’s labia with red lipstick made dudes really hot. When she showed her boyfriend, he thought she’d developed a really serious infection, freaked out, and tried to rush her to the emergency room.)

Labia dye isn’t cheap, either. A container with 20 disposable applicators and some dye that looks suspiciously like powdered Kool-Aid is $36.95.

I thought the thing to do was to chop off our labia until it's practically not there--not call attention to it. I never can keep up with the latest designer vagina fashion


I will comment that a properly aroused labia turns 'pink' all on its own, and a better idea would be to find a partner who actually knows what they're doing in bed if we want pretty colors, rather than smear dye all over it. Because who else is going to see it?

Or did I miss something, a new reality show "Labia Wars" or the like?

Thanks for that laugh... I really, sincerely needed that.

I was aghast at this latest example of idiotic beauty standards .. but then I figured at least this is one intended to benefit one person, whose opinion might actually matter, and doesn't involved major, invasive surgery at least. Not like the one where you spend thousands of dollars for a generally more boner pleasing set of boobs... And since that one's fairly routine now, I should hardly be surprised.

Plus, some of the Amazon reviews are amusing.

I can't believe this. I had to double check to see if was from The Onion.

Misogyny is big business... always has been, will be for a long time as long as this specific type of minimization is tolerated, condoned or given variance.

Sometimes I think they want a defense, like "not me I'm not a prude!! Because (insert TMI reason here&quot

Ew.

is insist i am not a prude, before saying what i have to say. so many women feel the need to say....

i like men
i like sex
i am not a prude

before discussing anything.

i refuse.

i do not have to state that i am a sexual woman, attracted to and by men, in order to say what i have to say.

there is something in the insistence that we have to clarify before we are allowed to speak.

Like a women's value or validity of opinion rests in her insistence that's she's sexual.

But say one of these idiots Grandma's started up with THEIR insistence of being sexual beings and they'd be all like "No grandma ew! that's wrong!" Grandmas don't have sex, because, they boobs not all perky and shit.

Or something. How sexually enlightened is that? Repressed motherfuckers is also what I think.
