Meow, look away now, this is going to get rude.

An Indian company has launched what it claims is the country's first vagina tightening cream, saying it will make women feel "like a virgin" again. The company says it is about empowering women, but critics say it is doing the opposite. The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan in Mumbai reports.

...

The makers of 18 Again, the Mumbai-based pharmaceutical company Ultratech, say it is the first of its kind in India (similar creams are already available in other parts of the world such as the USA), and fills a gap in the market.

The introduction of a vagina tightening cream, follows a recent controversy over a vagina skin lightening cream.

Ancient India has always been celebrated for its sexual openness.

Actually, the worst thing about all this is the totally redundant comma in the penultimate sentence above, and the completely thought-free comment about ancient India.

Having said that, I've ordered a couple of tubs.

For your arse?

I was going to make in inappropriate comment about Jordan buying two dozen tubes of that stuff then asking for a refund. But I won't.

So it's cream that offers the tightness of a virgin, without the mess?

Meow

For the benefit of stupid pathetic men. Utterly ridiculus product that treats women as some sort of commodity.

It's not like virgins are going to become extinct either.

Bahtatboy

And aimed at gullible women.

I know this isn't really the point, but I fail to see how it would work...

Opposite to that 'poison' lip stuff that plumps them up?

Or maybe, that's what it does?

Who knows.

Sounds like a load of old gash to me.

Meow

To please egotistical men. Societal pressure.

Meow

Wasn't it India that had to sell smaller condoms for their men as global standard sizes were too large?

That explains a lot.

Would you blame a woman for buying it?

Is it not just the same thing as all those penis extending emails I get?

Bahtatboy

And to please women who want to be perceived as righteous. And to please men who believe their brides should be virgins. Both victimes of societal pressure. It appears that you're portraying the women as innocent victims of societal pressure, and the men as immune from that pressure and instead have developed their egos in a social vacuum.

Meow

Not blame exactly, but for some it is hard not to be presured into doing what others want or expect. Education and confidence comes into play and a lack of education or common sense often dictates whether women buy into the idea of having to look a particular way. In certain countries, sadly economic conditions dictate the pressure to behave a certain way.

Yes, same concept, but have you bought any of those creams, pills etc? Probably not, so you have resisted the pressure and expectations. You probably don't need a bigger penis to survive financially.

You know what I find more baffling, though... these women (loads in the US) who have their hymens repaired in order to 'become a virgin again' for their new husbands.

Surely the definition of 'virgin' is 'not having had sex yet'. Not 'intact hymen'
