Oh goodie! Just when I thought society was starting to run out of ways to make women shameful about their bodies, we get My New Pink Button, “a temporary dye to restore the youthful pink color back to your labia.” I can’t make this shit up, people.As if women didn’t already have seventy billion “beauty products” marketed to them as necessary essentials, now we have to worry about the color of our fucking vaginas? If a guy complained to me that my vagina wasn’t pink enough, I wouldn’t have to buy this product because that guy would not be seeing my vagina again any time soon.
I’m not going to stop women from wearing make up, using creams, attempting bizarre diets, or dying their vagina. Whatever, that’s your choice – even I enjoy getting dolled up once in a blue moon. But feeling beautiful is different from being shamed into body modification. Not only are we adding insecurities, but it’s simply a waste of money. One jar is $29.95 and contains 20 uses, each which last up to 72 hours. If somebody is seeing your vagina frequently enough that you need it pinkified every day, minus a week each month for a period let’s say, you’ll spend about $140 on this stuff a year. I’m sorry, but I have better things to do with my money.
At least they give you options, though. You can choose from four shades of pink, cutely named Marilyn, Bettie, Audry, and Ginger, the last one specifically made for “Women of Color.” …Yeah, I don’t need to say any more, do I?

I wonder if Marilyn, Bettie, Audry and Ginger would be happy to know that they have vagina dye named after them. Doesn't seem very classy, eh?

Right, I'm off to polish my knob now.

I am with The Jules, it is about time somebody addressed this! I have taken many a lady home just to be turned off because their labia was not nearly pink enough. This would give those women at least a temporary chance at one night happiness with me.

A. Yes, this can be used on the nipples and men’s genitals.

Anyone else see this going horribly wrong? As in a woman using way too much of this product, far too often, and winding up with a DayGlo pink vag? Can you imagine the first time she spreads her thighs for someone to go down on her, and they stop short because the glare from her readioactive labia is searing their retinas?

Believe it or not, in the past I actually have spent time worrying about the fact that my vulva isn't pink, mostly because I was worried I was the only one with this 'freakish abnormality'. So, I can see why this product would have been created.I still don't think I'd be willing to spend money on the pink-ification of my genitalia, though.
Riayn says
I see that like almost everyone else I am bewildered that people actually worried about this or that men would really criticise women for not having a pink enough labia.
This almost seems like someone is trying to create a niche market for their excess pink dye stocks.

As if women don't have enough societal pressure to look a certain way. This is ridiculous. I have never stopped to consider how pink a vagina should be. I've always been too busy being happy whenever I've had the chance to see one.

Can't say I've ever looked at a vulva and been turned off by it not being the right shade of pink…
I've seen a few in my 27 years (some actually in person… lol) and I've always found the variety inherent in the female sex organs to be a driving factor in my interest and curiosity towards them…
If my face is close enough to note the shade of pink my dates vulva is I really doubt it's something I'm concerned about, at that point I'd be more focused on her having a good time… Tbh, if I were dating someone and found out she used this I think I'd break it off… It's rather disturbing…

Being among the 7%-10% of men who are red-green shade blind, I have never given any thought to the "pinkness" of the labia with which I have had intimate contact. This particular product would be wasted if used for my benefit.
Your youth is showing in another of your statements. In discussing the estimated yearly cost of using this product, you wrote, in part, "minus a week each month for a period let's say". I've had partners for whom that time of the month was no barrier to intimacy.

Could we PLEASE get female anatomy correct?The vagina, which nobody except sees except your gynecologist with a speculum, is completely within the body. The word, (Latin for sheath,) refers to the negative space and the tissues that surround it.In contrast, the vulva, of which the labia are part, is completely external.

If you are a older woman and it is not pink enough anymore, maybe you should retire the dam thing. If my husband were to say something about it, I would then refer to his balls and see how self assuring he is after that conversation. Thank you for posting this, and yes I will go on with mine.

As a guy, I’ve got to wonder if the dye would transfer during sex. Can’t say I’d enjoy having pink junk. Better than catching it in the zipper though.

I wouldn’t mind having anything vagina-related named after me. Strong exception – when it’s for such purposes as telling women to go dye their fannies because they’re naturally ugly.

Yes, it’s apparent that as you age and have children–the pink goes away and turns to brown “leather” –not very pretty like it once was to them. Hence why the whole younger woman thing!
