Not loving guns and murder? Unamerican communist!
Talking about a lady’s body parts or for that matter anything remotely related to sexuality? Jesus Christ won’t someone please save our children from this fate worse than death!?

Not loving guns and murder? Unamerican communist!

Right now…you might want to start loving guns.
I don’t know if you haven’t noticed but there are literal nazis in the Whitehouse.
This anti-gun shit needs to stop from progressives. The fascist already have them.
Idk about the urban left, but us in the rural left have been armed our whole lives.
You’ll never out gun the fascist Republicans. Stop this pro gun BS.
Hypocrisy. Bought some lube on amazon, and they sent a print pamphlet ad for vibrators to my parents adress addressed to me but now they want to talk about embarrassing?
Since when does Amazon send printed ads?
I think it was sold by a third party
It’s not something often, i’ve only received 3, usually around holidays.
But Amazon has no problems with the sale of adult toys? Hypocrites!
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.
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.
This isn’t fair at all, some of us bathe in that stuff
… let’s see where this goes. The us is now a conservative country. Sex toys aren’t conservative.
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.
I would be much more embarrassed having a potent punani than buying products. 🤷🏿♀️
Lol but they are fine with reminding me constantly of the one time I bought syringes for “a friend” with addiction years ago.
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.
I bought a bidet like six years ago (right before the pandemic) and Amazon is convinced I need to buy another one every single week. How many toilets do you think I have, Amazon?
That’s the advanced cutting edge AI recommendation system for you. Oh, you just bought a fridge and a large TV? Here are fifty more fridges and large TVs that would be great for your fridge and large TV collection! 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!
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?
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.
As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow
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!
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.
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.
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!
/s
Dude, what the fuck!
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.
Why is it weird, though?
It’s about time to boycott the fuck out of those Nazi boot lickers
Go ahead and search the word dildo into Amazon.
