First it was the wasps’ nests phenomenon, now we have exploding glitter.

Enter the Passion Dust Intimacy Capsules – to be inserted into the vagina an hour before any exciting (and sparkling) romp so as women can enjoy glitter bursting from their nether regions. The online retailer for the glitter capsules states,

“The flavour is sweet like candy but not overly sweet, just enough to make your lover feel that your Yara (water-lady or little butterfly) is what all vaginas are supposed to look, feel and taste like; soft, sweet and magical!”

The creator of the candy scented capsules for the vagina is Lola-Butterflie Von-Kerius from Heuston Texas who has long crafted various cosmetics from her home and now glitter bombs can be added to the list. Lola says that the passion pills are not toxic and that she has been able to deem them safe after “experience based evidence” on her and her gal pals. She says the glitter capsules even have FDA approval, however not everyone is pleased about the shimmering invention. According to the New York Post, Canadian gynaecologist Dr Jen Gunter referred to it as “shameful slime.” She said,

“Could it be an irritant and cause a vaginal contact dermatitis? Yes, and ouch. Think vaginal sunburn!”

Dr Vanessa Mackay, spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) told the Independent,

“The vagina contains a delicate balance of good bacteria which are there to protect it. If women place foreign objects inside their vagina, they risk disturbing this balance which may lead to infection, such as bacterial vaginosis or thrush and inflammation.”

Clearly the Passion Dust retailer doesn't think the glitter will pose any problem. On their website they've made a statment which reads,

"If you've ever had vaginal issues you had them before you used Passion Dust anyway. If you've ever had a yeast infection I'm sure it wasn't caused by glitter, it just happens sometimes (Oh, the joys of being a girl!)."

Right, so, we think we’ll pass. It's not just because we squirm at the whole 'vaginal sunburn' idea but we feel our vaginas look and taste just fabulous and no extra sparkles are needed, thank you. Perhaps as we make our way through the glorious style trend of glitter (everywhere) this summer, we should just stick to the new glitter boobs look, or continue trying to remove the sparkles from our hair weeks later after that festival.
