how to not impress a pregnant woman

I've done all the usual things during this pregnancy including signing up for email updates about how big the baby is etc., etc.. Many of these come with links to reviews of products in which a pregnant woman might be interested. Most of the time it's useless crap, every once and a while the reviews are actually useful and then there are these:

V2 Supporter

Your hoo-ha helper.

Just when you thought you'd experienced the last of the crazy pregnancy symptoms (Hello, nipple hair!), along come varicose veins on your hoo-ha. Doesn't that just beat all? Of course it's the last thing you want to talk about, but when your insides feel like they're about to bottom out, it's pretty much all you can think about. Stop the insanity with a little well-positioned support.

When your vajingo needs a helping hand, the V2 Supporter lends one in all the right places. This stretchy cotton band is fully adjustable to give you a lift where you need it most, taking care of painful swelling and pressure. It's true the contraption looks strikingly like a lace-trimmed jock strap—but if it provides you with a pain-free cha-cha, we're betting you don't give a rat's patootie.


Now if you go to the product link, you will see that this is a potentially useful item (although I am exceptionally grateful to have not known this prior to the ad; apparently vaginal varicose veins are not common in first pregnancies (a sufficient reason to stop at one as far as I'm concerned). However, the person who wrote this review apparently has a really hard time with the phrase vaginal varicose veins and instead feels that throwing half a dozen (okay, it's only three but still!) euphemisms in is more appealing to the readers. Personally I'm frightened that someone who has to resort to such language has actually had sex, and even more concerned that this sex likely resulted in the creation of a human being that this person was responsible for raising. If you can't write the word vagina, you probably shouldn't be using yours for pleasure or reproduction.
