Weird collab, but tenga makes great shit and I'd trust them with my dick and my life.

Well, if there's one place you don't want a mosquito bite...

Oh no, I needed this specific formula of insect repellent but the store only has them in stock with the toy as a package deal. Guess I'll just have to buy them both.

We BELIEVE you!

now that you have the toy you totally not wanted, it would be wasteful not to use it!

This is the worst headline I've read all day.

"Keep the 'skeeters away from your peter."

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

Excellent, but "Keep the skeeters off your Peter" has better flow.

It's funny because in Japanese, we don't have distinct sounds for 'er' and 'ah' so it ends up sounding like the special edition Ass model of Tenga.

"It can be placed on a windowsill, dining room table, or living room corner, and no one will ever suspect your masturbation aid is actually a jar full of noxious chemicals."

Oh good, I don't have to be embarrassed when guests find my insect repellent anymore.

no one will ever suspect your masturbation aid is actually a jar full of noxious chemicals.

Oooohhh, that might explain the nonstop burn I've been feeling

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, aren’t they all jars full of noxious chemicals after awhile?

Can lube go bad? 🤔

So... I mean, is the "masturbatory aid" also some sort of ointment? Are we talking lubes here, or something a bit harder?

Or, wait! Maybe the insect repellent is like a bug zapper? The mind reels.

Flypaper?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's just a bug repellent in a container shaped like a masturbation aid. They're not actually combining products.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Like a Bug Repellant Dildo.

Party poopers.

I need to move to Japan....

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

I managed to get some things only released in other countries thru eBay. (Phone from India, for example.)

Are we sure this is not the onion? This feels like an April Fool's joke

There a lot of companies making masturbatory aid insect repellents in Japan? 🤔
