Re: silly names!!!!
Wouldn't reccommend putting the NADS on your nads but its great stuff. Not a wax more of a gel that is 'austalian made, australian owned etc etc', lasts for ages, smells nice and soesn't want you to have an epidural before using it. For some reason the linen being called Manchester has always amused me. Boring, and yes i know why it's called that, but makes me snigger every time...

There's a great thread on here about why it's called manchester. However it's basically because when cotton was imported to Australia it was from the UK. The main region for producing the products needed was Manchester. Hence the bails of material had the place of origin on it and the name became synonymous (?) with linen. Still amuses me though, very childish and irational but very funny for me.

As a teenage girl I was mortified to see a range of granny-style sanitary towels called "Larissa" !!!! Took me a while to get over my annoyance in Tescos! It really wouldn't bother me now though
