    Looking up Vuva, they sell neodymium magnet embedded dildos. I can’t speak to the medical efficacy, I’m just saying what they look like.

    Somehow Amazon doesn’t like that but is OK with actual dildos?

      Oh my god, it’s so bad.

      “Soft tissue lengthens, relaxing muscles and ligaments. As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow to the area calming nerves and promote relaxation. VuVa™ are the only patented sets available with Neodymium magnets.”

      “Magnetic Therapy is based on the premise that all living organisms exist in a magnetic field, including the human body. The human body generates its own magnetic field. Therefore, the body can heal itself when electromagnetic energy is in balance.”

      It’s like those stupid magnet bracelets and elbow wraps, only for your vagina. It’s all woo.

        Uhm, no, the iron in your blood isn’t in a ferromagnetic form.

        The product is a vaginal dilator, which has evidence supporting its use in treatment of several medical conditions. The distinction from a dildo has more to do with intended use than form.

        The magnets are just woo.

          Oh, no disagreements with dilators; they’re essential for e.g., women with vaginismus that want to have ‘normal’ sexual relationships.

      Magnets are snake oil. They have no effect on the human body. Don’t waste your money.
