How To Talk To Your Mom About Her Vagina

by Marinka on April 10, 2011

Remember when you were young? I mean younger! Sheesh, you’re sensitive in your dotage.

But remember when you were younger, like a kid, and your mother had The Talk with you? If you were like me, it was after you read an issue of Cosmopolitan about The Big O and fellatio and you asked your mother what fellatio was (because as a mini Marinka you assumed that the big O was the O at the end of fellatiO) and your mother looked at you and said “penis in mouth. But really, only toothbrush and fork should go in mouth” and you haven’t been the same since?

Well, if you’ve been hoping for revenge ever since, I have some great news for you!

Because I received a pitch from a PR company about the perfect gift for your mother for Mother’s Day.

And I’m going to share it with you, with some helpful annotations.

Life moves too quickly. Help rejuvenate your mom with a day at the spa, indulge her with chocolates and flowers, help her relax and slow down from her fast-paced world full of deadlines, commitments and obligations. And help her be more comfortable with Replens, A Long Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer.

Hi, mom! Happy Mother’s Day! I love you. Thank you for giving me life. Hey, speaking of life, ha ha, ever notice how it moves so quickly? Wow, time sure flies! Here, sit down. No, nothing’s wrong. I just wanted to chat. About that Atacama Desert that you call your vagina.

We all know how busy a mom’s life can be but this Mothers Day take time to educate your mom about the treatment options available for vaginal dryness. Nearly every woman will experience vaginal dryness sometime in her life, oftentimes making even daily activities unbearable. It is most often associated with the normal decline or fluctuation of the female hormone estrogen. This fluctuation can be triggered by childbirth, breastfeeding or menopause. Dryness can also be caused by stress, certain medications, or excessive exercise.

Don’t worry, mom! You’re not alone. Here, I made a Power Point presentation for you. VAGINAL DRYNESS is nothing to be ashamed about? No, I’m not yelling. I’m speaking in a normal voice about VAGINAL DRYNESS to make sure you understand that it’s not a subject of shame.

Anyway, so VAGINAL DRYNESS is nothing to be ashamed about. Here are some causes– childbirth, breastfeeding, well, I think we can safely eliminate those, eh? Looks like that leaves us with MENOPAUSE. Well, stress, too, apparently. Haha, looks like all the stress of your telling me what I’m doing wrong with my kids is catching up, eh, mom?

Oh, here are some chocolates.

Estrogen free, Replens Long Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer goes to work immediately to provide soothing and long lasting moisture. As the cells of the vaginal wall are regenerated, dry cells are cleared and Replens is eliminated naturally. As with dry skin on your face and hands, regular moisturizing treatment may be necessary to prevent dryness from recurring.

Yeah, so it works like the face moisturizer. Except for your vagina. Like Oil of Vajay. It will moisturize your vagina and leave it as smooth as a baby’s bottom. And minimize your vagina’s laugh lines.

Mom! Where are you going?

If “Oil of Vajay” starts trending I swear I’ll never speak to you again. Though as I think about it, gives my client — OLAY — the chance to do an interesting hashtag hijack. Oh the hilarity.

As a man I know not the horrors of vaginal dryness. But your sense of humor is as dry as the Sahara and I love it. This was fantastic.

I haven’t been the same since I read that first paragraph. Will they send you a sample to review? No. NO! Never mind. I don’t think I could take that post.

Waiting for awesome dude’s take on it. Not about the Oil of Vajay, but the moral implications off course.

*giggle/snort* I can definitely imagine sitting my mom down for a nice lunch at her favorite restaurant and *not yelling* about treatment for her vaginal dryness. Of course, she would likely thank me for the excuse to give her cootch a “regular moisturizing treatment.” Yeah, my childhood was disturbing…

Finally, a real gift instead of stupid mother’s day flowers. My vagina feels better already. My favorite… “I just wanted to chat. About that Atacama Desert that you call your vagina.”

This post made me laugh so hard. My first “talk” with my mom was about like that. Had read some magazine, asked what oral sex was, got the huge mom blush as she muttered “it’s when you use your mouth” as she was running out of the room.

Why limit it to your mother? Include the childeren! So that they can be forewarned. It is never to early to start right…

This is fabulous. Too bad Mother’s Day is over for us Brits, think how much happiness I could have brought to my mother on her special “will you just shut up and never speak of this to me” again day.

Worst PR pitch I’ve ever gotten. Well, except the next day is was followed up by one asking if I’d like to be a condom tester. Not even joking!
Just your line Oil of VaJay beats the entire post I wrote about this PR pitch http://www.TwentyFourAtHeart.com/twenty_four_at_heart/2011/04/my-giveaway-has-been-postponed-in-honor-of-vaginal-dryness.html

The Atacama desert? Oil of Vajay? You’re on fire here, Marinka! This was HILARIOUS.

Really, I think you should share the power point with all of us.

And also? I’m scarred by your mother’s definition of fellatio as well.

The name Replens sounds like a disease you need a medicating balm for. I guess it is the medicating balm…for vaginal dryness.

Thanks to your mother, I now have oral dryness.
