The Rose Box has a "feminine cleanser" The directions say to clean your "PUDENDA"  
LOOOOL!!! We got this prediction right. Or someone did, here or fb group.

But yeah hahahah~

I think the rose box looks excellent though, Dessert is okay and the H&B not so much. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I wonder if this week's boxes will wow. We have tons coming~

 
The word "Pudendum" is a venerable medical term, with Latin roots, for the female external genitalia. When used in a medical setting, it has a clear clinical meaning without any attached shaming or distastefulness.

As it is used by Memebox, " Pudenda"  refers to the plural, which may be correct since the card is written for the use of many women, I suppose, but it is unusual.

At one time, there was a form of regional anesthesia used by an Obstetrician just prior to delivery called a " pudendal block". Basically, it allowed the OB to use obstetrical forceps and create an episiotomy without pain in the perineal tissues. Did nothing to lessen the pain of labor or dull much of the actual delivery, for that matter, at least from my experience as an OB nurse at the time. 
It was later known as a " saddle block" because the part of the body which was numbed is, of course, the part of the female anatomy which sits on a saddle. Some women having natural childbirth do still have saddle blocks, which the OB may write in the medical chart as a " Pudendal block". 

Anyway, I don't really see the difference between this and the word " vulva" as the terms are referring to the same place, the female external genitalia. 

 
The difference is that it sounds funny. Also, as you say, it's more commonly used in a medical context so we aren't used to seeing it in cosmetic copy - a cream to 'massage adequately into mammary glands for firmness of areolae' would get the sniggers too.

Honestly, I don't want to put anything so fragrances near my pudendum, vulva or minge.

or near your fanny (is that a british thing?).

Although, can you imagine getting an allergic reaction.... yikes

 
Hmmm. Rose box looks good, with the exception of That Item. Disappointed by dessert, the items are fine but completely not themed. Not even one of those cheap holika cupcakes? I don't get it.

 
@@GirlyGirlie, great lecture, specially for non-native  English speaking person:)
I was just trying to shed light on the origins and proper usage of the word in today's world, where it is a bit outdated. It was not one of my medically- themed lectures, :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. as I have mellowed over the years and am now practicing in another field part time, having nothing other than the empirical knowledge without any responsibility. 

One day, however, if an OB offers one of you in late labor a "saddle block", you WILL remember exactly what it is and what it does. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Lidocaine or a similar tissue- infiltrating injection into a perineal nerve, nerves, or tissue.. very short lasting to help the doctor out as much as the patient. Personally, I'd go for the Epidural. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LOL, no, I don't want the cream or spray or whatever it is either. Breasts are actually called breasts in medical terminology in the 21st century, which is great. The common  exceptions of a detailed mammography report  and conditions related to breast structure excepted..

It's definitely a British thing. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

In the USA, it means the same as one's " bum", a term I've never used. ( neither do I use " fanny").

Being from the Southern USA, there are MANY older women with the proper name of " Fanny".

I think some of us learned some UK slang early through foreign students moving to our towns and schools, though, because my Aunt Ruth had a best friend named " Fanny Bobo" for years. When I was 6 or 7, and on the way to Fanny's house trick or treating, I laughed myself sick over the combo of two ridiculous names ( to a child). My parents didn't get it at all. Just as well.

 
I'm getting all the boxes with new spoilers posted here, and for several pages back- if not already arrived- and I think they  run the gamut from very lovely and nice with some excitement to them to maybe one being boring ). 

It's mostly all good though. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I plan to keep on buying every box they release ( which isn't for acne or blackheads). 

We really get SO much for so little, and most products I use from my Memeboxes ( except the feminine perfume spray- which I've never used in my life and never will ) are so much gentler than what I'm replacing them with from the USA- Euro markets.

Oh, I'm sure they are - I was just making a translation joke. With body parts, there's kind of a continuum of terminology from anatomical to formal to everyday to crude to the names used by children or in polite company, so it would be pretty easy to mix those up if English isn't your first language. This being a good example.

(The vulgar term for, um, pudendum in Spanish is I believe the same word for 'bunny'.)

 
OK, ladies, could you use the "pudenda cleaner" with the golden vibrating egg I got in my Makeup Edition 2 box????  There'd probably be some funny noises coming from the bathroom.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, the ME2 box came with this:  http://www.testerkorea.com/product/imyss-beauty-toc-gold-egg-vibration-puff .  I sure would have preferred $30 worth more of makeup instead of this.... thing!)

 
I don't think a feminine cleanser is really that strange of a thing to put in a box? Since it's the second or third thing like that, I'm assuming it's a much more popular thing over there. I wouldn't even have a problem using it...but the last thing I'd want my lady bits smelling like is roses.

 
I love the Etude House creams! They're so cute. I wonder how they work though. Is the castle/house thing a tin and then there's a tube inside? Or is that the actual tub?

 
That etude house hand cream or what not in the rose box is soo cute!!
I've had the new little houses from Etude House in my shopping cart several times on K-shopping sites, and always take them out-- I had a feeling it was tailor made for a box, and I was right ( this time).

I think it's great that Memebox is putting newer products in the box. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
