Health
A VERY Intimate Spa
Posted on Jun 20, 2008 5:00:00 AM  |  By LizKrieger

Private I get some pretty funny public relations pitches here at Real Simple. I should really keep an archive of the most absurd, the most giggle-worthy, but I don't. (The unfortunate misspellings alone can be hilarious.)



And, frankly, what may seem absurd to me may very well be interesting to another editor at another publication. Still, books about celebrating my "Venus Week" (a.k.a my period) and books about how to "Get a Life that Doesn't Suck" always make for rather hilarious press releases, as do many other products hitting the market.

A winner from this week: a pitch from a soon-to-open MedSpa "dedicated to vaginal fitness." Yes, a spa for your lady parts. Pampering for your undercarriage. Exercise for your privates. Kegels until you drop. The New York City spa will also feature 'vaginal rejuvenation' and non-invasive skin rejuvenation.



Now of course, I am not making fun of anyone who has real problems in that area and there's no reason not to work (quietly! on your own!) to strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles (age and childbirth can lead to laxity down there). (Also, the surgeon behind this center does some important work—she helps women with incontinence issues, as well as performes uterine-preserving prolapse repair, so I don't want to slam her or the issue of pelvic health.)



Still, I guess I just have concerns about the rise in some of these more expensive, you-must-be-pretty-and-young-everywhere 'rejuvenating' procedures...and the press release's language just made me snicker.



Oh, and then there's always this: special dye to color the "hair down there." Pink, anyone?



What do you think? Do you want to treat your below-the-belt to a day at the spa or just stick to a bikini wax every four weeks?

I must be old-fashioned (at 26 years old, I might add), but the only thing I can think of about this spa is... ew. The only people who get to "help" me down there are my gynaecology and my boyfriend. Point finale.

Oh no, not another spa treatment for yet another body part. That head to toes day at the spa just grew a little longer.

Okay, I'm on the floor with laughter.
Everything that's old is new again!!!
The laughing comes from the fact that I used to "have to" dye my Mothers hair. She was a flaming redhead, with a natural wave, and NEVER had to shave her legs or arm pits. Anyway, she of the "I,m just a little country mouse" act would always claim that she just couldn't do her own hair by herself, and I would take her into the bathroom and away we would go. It always struck me as funny how she would say, "Now Dearie, no need to use it all (the color), just leave a little bit so that I can have a batch for my snatch." My darling Mother would have been 90 this year, again I say, everything that's old, is new again!!!! God bless all us girls.
