ALUM

Alum is a strong astringent and tightens the lax vaginal walls. It is used for vaginal tightening, is a blood coagulant and soothing agent. It also possesses antibacterial properties which helps in fighting vaginal infections that are prone to develop in the ageing tissue.

the erectile dysfunction ads. After all if you can fix that you need your partner to feel like a virgin right?
One question, does a woman need to feel like a virgin to enjoy sex or is this product really for the interest of the man too?

15. Comic Aditi Mittal Takes On the Vaginal Tightening Industry
Tue Dec 23, 2014, 02:00 PM
Dec 2014

not sure- but this lady is pretty funny-

Aditi Mittal's status as one of India's only working female comics gives her a powerful platform to comment on topics that her male peers might shy away from, like a recent television ad campaign for 18 Again, a "vaginal tightening cream" marketed to older women. Sound ridiculous? It does to Aditi, too.

it's entirely for the man-part of a couple. Seems that they idea of "having" an 18 yo is such allure for older men. Doesn't anyone care that nature makes us less attractive and less "active" for a reason? Yikes, we have been played for so long with this alleged need to have sex and bear offspring... I think that by appealing to the most base "pleasures" marketing has managed to herd us into never-ending focus on getting laid and spending whatever we may have to get sex and the looks to appeal to partners which results in stereotyping and making people feel less engaged in life while thinking they are playing the game of life as a winner.

So who "rules" this society? Men. Are those in power interested in anything positive for women? No... unless it ends up being beneficial for men who usually opt for sexual gratification as the the ultimate benefit in life second only to wealthpower.

Yeah, I don't think it has any intent to benefit women except that they might have a more interested partner for a time. Does this product actually make the woman feel like a virgin? Really?

Since you can use it in other intimate areas...I wouldn't have gone with ANAL BLEACH GEL. However maybe their marketing team knows something we don't.

and her husband using, I believe alum (senior memory) for the same purpose. This was forty years ago. Apparently the results were unsatisfactory and hilarious. I hope the ingredients of this snake oil remedy doesn't have the same ingredient.
