    I wasn't sure if this was TLL Material per se? But,

    http://consumerist.com/5389241/vaginal-mints-are-a-very-very-bad-idea

    500x_2129063105_225d6bd24f-01.jpg
    Jen Philips over at Mother Jones received a sample of an exciting new candy from a PR rep. Called Linger, it bills itself as "the intimate mint." Or "feminine flavoring system." Because you're supposed to put it in your vagina. The problem with this product, of course, is that it's an unholy alliance of three things: preying on women's insecurities about their bodies, remarketing a mundane product for media attention, and advocating that people do something that is extremely unhealthy.
    My tin of Linger looked a lot like one of those tins of mints that are given away at trade shows. And guess what? That's what it is. A little digging revealed that Linger is made/distributed by a company called Admints, which just happens to make trade show mints. And the Linger samples just happen to have have the exact same shape, taste, and ingredients as Admint's sample mints. So how does Linger manage to pass off breath mints as vaginal Tic Tacs in $7.99 packs? Despite the salacious creation story and testimonials on its site ("It gets a little warm as it starts to dissolve which took just under an hour. Then, it is SO good!!"), the mint is labeled "for novelty use only."
    Of course, the problem with these mints is that it is an exceptionally bad and unhealthy idea to use them in the first place. Unlike many mints made with artificial sweeteners, Admints contains sugar. Sugar in one's lady parts can lead to catastrophic yeast infections, which is why flavored products that are actually designed for lady-parts use find other sweeteners to use.

    Then again, they made the flavored condom, so I can see where they were coming from. Still, this is a new tier of Weird.

    The only thing I like about that post is the kitten.

    The whole thing is just strange, even the kitten, what does a kitten have to do with fanny mints?

    Maybe the kitten is the alternative to the mint.

    Don't want to taste minty? Then try inserting a kitten for that new pet smell!

    That's messed up.

    Girly bits are supposed to taste like girly bits, not mints...

    My aversion to calling cats, pussy seems to be working, I've stopped even thinking of the word, until now.

    Mints do taste significantly nicer though.

    You've been at the wrong girly bits.

    Maybe the marketing folk weren't eloquent enough to use 'vagina' in the instructions on the box :pac:

    Anyone else find the name of these things, Linger is funny. I find it funny for 2 reasons.


    Linger - 1 letter away from Langer (slang for Penis in cork)
    Linger - 2 letters from Lingum(Where i assume they derived the name) as Lingum is the sanskrit word for male genitals.

    BTW for the record I think they're a load of carp.

    that bit just reminded me of a character on one of the soaps (don't know which one, don't watch them) and I sure as hell wouldn't want to be reminded of him when a guy is down there.

    That's not quite the timeline I had in mind!

    But for people who feel the need to shove mints up there instead, they are obviously not keeping up with the hygiene. :eek:

    And in fairness, if I was goin' the growl and got a taste of mint, I'd be thinking there was something seriously wrong with the woman.

    I can see the new 'Oral-B' (Oral-V?) campaign

    Polo - the mint up your hole :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    a couple of things spring to mind.

    As a man if i approched that area and got a mint smell it would make me think 1. Was she expecting me 2. Does she feel embarrased at me being here and 3. Is she bothered that much by the experience of me being down there.

    Without talking too much about my own experience I can say that no matter what my other half thinks I have never been turned off by being down in this region so mints are not a welcome adition.

    Lastly if it really bothers that much have a shower together before, it makes great forplay.

    But mints. Stupid daft idea from someone trying to screw you for money instead.

    PS: I understand the fruit flavor condoms and understand honey in the regions but its the fact that you need to cover up with mint.... Why hid a smell that is a turn on to most men.
