From the blogger who first told you about the butt-out tool

Remember THIS??  (Seriously.  Click the link.)

I’d now like to now share two equally as awesome products with you.

First up in our tour of odd products, these….

Hoo-ahhs.

Yes, you read that correctly. HOO. AHHS.

I’m not certain of their intended use, but they seem like something you might be given after you’ve given birth. Like the Tucks Pads or Preparation-H you get from the hospital, or the sitz-bath they tell you take, but nobody will leave you alone long enough to actually, you know, TAKE ONE.

And last, but OH! certainly NOT LEAST.  I’ve been dying to show this one to you all, because, well….just look at it!

Anti-Monkey Butt Powder??  Seriously!?!?

WHO needs this????? But more importantly WHY would someone have a raging case of baboon ass????  (Maybe I don’t want to know. AHEM.)

And now for the world’s most inappropriate segue…

This past weekend’s Blissdom Conference in Nashville was truly fabulous.  I met so many great women (too! many! to! link!) and was inspired with some new ideas for this blog, including at least two more posts for my Blog Tip Sharing Project series.  Thanks to Blissfully Domestic magazine, Alli (Mrs. Fussypants), Karla, Epson, and One2One Network for such a wonderful experience.

    I’m first? No way.

    Okay: Monkey butt? What is that for people who eat too many bananas?

    Loved the segue.

    lmao, I like your use better, but the Hoo-Ahh’s are going to just be moist towelettes for soldiers. You know, they wipe down with baby wipes when they can’t shower, wash their faces and hands with them, they have about a thousand different uses for them in “the sandbox”. So, since the top corner reads “field towels”, I’m guessing someone put unscented baby wipes in camo packaging and is making a ton of money off of wives and moms who are buying them for care packages.

    And the powder!! I’ve actually seen it in stores. lmao! It’s for chafing, like heat rashes and such. And I guess the packaging is for the 12 year old boy in all of us. lol

    My husband has some of those hoo-ahhs thingys. They are diaper wipes for hunters. Seriously. Unscented so they don’t throw off the game. I asked him if he knew they made regular diaper wipes unscented also at, like, a fraction of the price. But these are in a camo wrapper, he says! LOL

    I really wish I could have made it out to Blissdom! I always have so much other stuff going on anytime anything fun and out of town comes up like this.

    Wonder why my latest post never shows up anymore?

    I know I’m not the first to say this, but yeah. The Hoo-Aaah’s are for soldiers. And to tell you the god’s honest truth? No, we don’t buy them for our husbands because they are hella expensive and only have like 20 in a pack. When you are in the field (hence the ‘field wipes’) it’s better to have whole packages of baby wipes. I send my hubby the big refill packs out in the sandbox. Lord only knows when they actually shower. (When they come home from the field they still smell like ass. Same with the sandbox. Anything that was sent there, is from there, or spent copious amounts of time there needs a real scrubbing.

    My husband and I came across the butt-out tool in a walmart recently. He’s a hunter, but I don’t know that even he had seen it before. We looked at the package, looked at eachother-puzzled and looked back at the package, trying to understand WHY. Just WHY. He understood better than I did, being a hunter and all..but still, it makes my hiney hurt just thinking about it. YUK. Just YUK.

    I think I’m about the 15th person to say this, but yep, they’re for soldiers. You know how the Marines say “HOORAH”, well the Army says “HOOAH.”
    When we were “in the field” (away from running water) we gave ourselves “Whore Baths” with diaper wipes. Our Drill Sergeants told us to “hit the hot spots” which meant to wipe down our sweaty stinky pits and crevices. Fun times!

    As a PP said, the Hoo-Ahhs are just baby wipes in a “manly” package so soldiers don’t feel silly carrying them around. They have them in most Exchanges I’ve been to, never really thought of how odd they’d look to an outsider but I think they’re silly! Just paying money for a camo packaging.

    Monkey butt…wtf? I’m not sure I even want to know. *hides*

    I thought the HOO AAAHS were condoms for a minute. Hoo ahhs in the UK is an expression in the South West meaning something like “I like it”. People will buy the most bizarre things. Monkey butt, now if you suffer from one of them you’re in big trouble.

    I just published my recap post and I’M SO WITH YOU ON “MET TOO MANY PEOPLE TO LINK” thing. I lost steam towards the end, it was too long already, and I have about 100,000 words to go.

    Instead? I cut and ran ;) .

    GREAT meeting you, though…wish there had been more time to chat.
