Amazon Restricted Vaginal Health Products for Being ‘Potentially Embarrassing’
-
Funny story… had a friend who was very early adopter of the Amazon Alexa devices. Me being a nerd knew all the things it could do including ordering things on Amazon so I proceeded to say “Alexa, order a 55gal drum of KY jelly” to order a 55gal drum of lube. He had to go into Amazon to cancel the order (I also knew how to do that so I wasn’t worried) but the suggestions he got for the longest time were hilarious.

But Amazon has no problems with the sale of adult toys? Hypocrites!
I actually bought a sex toy on Amazon a week ago and I was pissed that they asked for my driver's license to purchase it. WTF? What a screwed up country we live in.

The funny part is that there’s very little reason to actually buy a barrel of lube. In porn, they just mix their own lube using distilled water (available cheaply from virtually any grocery or hardware store) and a dissolvable powder. There’s not a good reason to ship wet lube in bulk, because freight shipping is calculated by weight and you’re essentially just paying to ship water.
For the curious, look up J-lube, X-lube, K-lube, or Fist Lubricant Powder.
I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.
Dont ship water.

Gotta respect that math, but value might still be possible.
55 gallons of water weighs about 459lbs (208kg), so that barrel is in that range.
Get 10 friends to chip in and order the barrel. Use those 10 friends to lift and leave that barrel somewhere that is highly visible, like the front porch of an ex-wife or ex-husband. Maybe your local police station if you are from a small town?
If that is worth $1,700 to someone, I can't really say. I have paid more (per pound) for less significant practical jokes before though.
(It would be cheaper to use another barrel, actual water, and just fake the package label though. Real lube would just be for show but it would show that you have great attention to detail.)
You should probably lube the outside after placing it in it's position as well.

Magnets are snake oil. They have no effect on the human body. Don’t waste your money.
I disagree. The human body is mostly water. Water is slightly diamagnetic. Therefore, a sufficiently strong magnet is capable of levitating a human body off the ground.
Magnets can definitely have an effect, just not at puny neodymium magnet levels!

Fuck Amazon but it would be nice if we had an FDA to get rid of this crank magnet health product that WIRED is promoting.

Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.
I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.

I suspect the barrel of lube is largely a joke.

Looking up Vuva, they sell neodymium magnet embedded dildos. I can't speak to the medical efficacy, I'm just saying what they look like.
Somehow Amazon doesn't like that but is OK with actual dildos?
I think a lot of people are confused by this. If you order sex toys on Amazon, they don't then flood your feed with more sex toys because they have it marked as "embarrassing." I think the article is saying this product got a similar classification, not that it isn't available.

You just gave me an idea for the worlds fastest slip-n-slide, actually.

Go ahead and search the word dildo into Amazon.

Wait, vag magnets are pseudoscience?! My partner has an entire data center's worth of HDD magnets up hers to ward the evil crotch spirits away!

You better tag me when you make a post here a year from now that you've made it into the book of guiness world records. I don't wanna miss that.

Christ, I wish Americans would get over their embarrassment that half theirs population has a vagina.
We also renamed the Cockerel to Rooster.

Bought replacement float and toilet seat last week to fix my aunts toilet.
Amazon now thinks I’m a toilet repair technician or some shit. I see nothing but different kinds of floats, stoppers, tank gaskets, seats, bidets, anything that can go in or on a toilet, Amazon thinks I need.
I’ve never been ad bombarded this hard before, and it’s about toilet parts.

And also a cheap Chinese knockoff impact drill, because they paid us to show it to people searching for fridges, TVs, jewelry, mineral water and potting soil!

A magnet sufficiently strong enough to levitate a human based on the water in the body is more likely to remove the water from the body instead.
I have a strong but as of yet untested theory that no human will ever levitate based magnitized internal human water.

It works on frogs. The force is distributed over the whole body, so it's no worse than gravity is on our bodies.
