  Oh my god, it’s so bad.

  “Soft tissue lengthens, relaxing muscles and ligaments. As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow to the area calming nerves and promote relaxation. VuVa™ are the only patented sets available with Neodymium magnets.”

  “Magnetic Therapy is based on the premise that all living organisms exist in a magnetic field, including the human body. The human body generates its own magnetic field. Therefore, the body can heal itself when electromagnetic energy is in balance.”

  It’s like those stupid magnet bracelets and elbow wraps, only for your vagina. It’s all woo.

    The product is a vaginal dialator, which has evidence supporting its use in treatment of several medical conditions. The distinction from a dildo has more to do with intended use than form.

    The magnets are just woo.

      Oh, no disagreements with dilators; they’re essential for e.g., women with vaginismus that want to have ‘normal’ sexual relationships.

    Uhm, no, the iron in your blood isn’t in a ferromagnetic form.

  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!

      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.

  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.
