7 awkward products every woman should know

Once you google something, you can’t un-google it. That’s how my illustrated guide to awkward feminine products was born. Enjoy, sisters!

1. The Bloody Grail

If you had enough of menstrual napkins and tampons, you might wanna befriend the menstruation cup.
This flexible silicon cup is inserted into the thingity*, where it peacefully sits during your period and collects the menstruation blood. Once it’s full the happy owner empties and washes it, then uses it again.
Some women find this idea odd and freaky, but on the other hand – odd and freaky is what the monthly period is all about.

2. The Armpit Dipper

Those of you who suffer from sweaty armpits, raise your hands. Oh, you don’t want to? Of course, because it’s incredibly embarrassing to show that sweat stain on your shirt.
That’s why wise people invented the armpit sweat pads. These are adhesive pads that stick to the inside of your shirt and absorb the underarm sweat. Great for hot days and overly stressful occasions.

3. The Equality Funnel

Isn’t it extremely unfair that men get to pee in public urinals right in the middle of the street, while ladies have to hold it until they find a restroom? IT IS, and that’s why the urinal funnels were invented. Also known as Female urination device, female urination aid and stand-to-pee device (STP), these instruments allows girls to pee while standing.
The urinal funnel is small, portable tool. It consists of a wide orifice that collects the urine and a tube or a draining channel that stream the pee outwards. In recent years, feminine urinals purposed to be used with this device became popular. Would you be willing to give them a go?

4. The ShampHoo-Ha

Here is something not everybody knows: The thingity’s* PH is different than the rest of the skin. This juicy fact (no pun intended) led to a flourishing market of intimate washes.
The washes are meant to keep the PH level balanced, get rid of harmful bacteria without hurting the good bacteria and to control any unwelcome odors. Despite the promises, not everyone is convinced that a dedicated wash is necessary, so if your hoo-ha is satisfied with your regular cleansing routine, it’s probably best to stick with it.

5. The Bush Douche

Unlike the shampHoo-ha, the bush douche, is in charge of the inside of the thingity*.
The douche is a device used to let a stream of water or cleansing solution into the thingity* in order to thoroughly rinse it. This device is made of a small squeeze bottle and a long nozzle.
A snoop in Google reveals that the beneficial aspects of the douche are controversial, and some even say you better stay away of it. Yet, many women use this product and many companies offer different kinds of douches devices and solutions.

6. The Camel de-toe-er

When exactly did the camel toes become such a sensational phenomenon? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t as deterring one decade ago as it is today. In case you aren’t familiar with the term – camel toe is a slang name for when the slit of a thingity* is noticeable through tight clothes.
Perhaps the awareness for camel toes came with the fashion of tighter clothes, or maybe with the obsession over being photographed (we all know photography is a brutal enhancer of details). Whatever the reason might be, the problem is here, and that’s why you should know about the camel toe eliminators. These are products designed to prevent the formation of camel toes.
Camel toe preventers come in different versions. You can find firm pads that stick to your pants or underwear and keep clothes away of the slit, and also small discs that slide into those mystery pockets you see in some panties.

7. The Treasure Chest

Where do you hide your money when you travel abroad? In your sock? In a hidden pouch? Why not in your bra? With the bra pockets or bra stash your breast will be the perfect hiding spot.
The bra stash is a small pouch that hooks to the front or side of any bra. It’s a good thing to have when travelling or simply when going out for a jog. Just make sure you stand away from the public before digging in for some change.
