dept of douchery

me + my roommates spend a lot of time talking about our vags.  I mean, we have the giant household menstrual calendar hanging on the living room wall; several painting of vulvas around the house; a giant felt vagina that I think someone adopted from the Women's Center.  yeast infections, diva cups, lunar cycles- we've got it covered.  however, there are some things that don't come across our radar much.  douches, for example.  or bejewelling our down-there.  thankfully, AlterNet is filling the, uh, hole with this: The 6 Weirdest Things Women Do to Their (why "their"?  why not "our"?) Vaginas, "a list of the strangest ways to make your genitals meet the demands of the beauty industry."  this will provide my household with hours of kitchen conversation.

Problem: Your Vagina is Too Loose 
Solution: Vaginal Rejuvenation 
Let's face it. Nature really screwed up when it made the vagina. Never mind that that it accommodates the birth of a child or that it's fundamentally better designed than male genitalia. (Who wants to carry their most sensitive reproductive organs on the outside?) While nature was busy dishing out things like multiple orgasms, it forgot to make vaginas vice-tight. Luckily, plastic surgeons have stepped in to put an end to womankind's collective suffering.
