Awkward EssentialsDripstick Absorbing Sponge For Women - Awkward Essentials Dripstick 20 Pack of Sterile Post Coitus Sponges for Feminine Care and Hygiene

I got this for post-sex cleanup, but as it turns out, my new partner is asexual, so it’s not exactly getting much use. That said, the product itself is a clever idea—soft, absorbent, and designed to make things less messy. If you need a quick and easy cleanup solution, this could be a game-changer. For me? Well… at least I’m prepared.

Admittedly handy. Works like advertised but don't try and save money on the knock offs. This one has a paddle shaped end for easy grip/twist. The others have a straight lolli pop handle and they are harder to um, move.

OMG I love these things! My husband just shoots a lot if you know what I mean...he's a bull of a man. These things will absorb all of it up, leaves no mess, easy to use. I had to use more then one on a couple of occasions due to the amount of fluids not because it didn't absorb like a mini ShamWow. You can literally use it and use the plastic baggie for easy disposal (they are individually sealed). It's much like a tampon you don't leave inside. Just insert and twist (I'd suggest using Kegels to push it out for better results). No dripping anywhere, no messy underwear, no odor. Best yet no penguin waddle to the toilet.

Let’s be honest (and a bit awkward)…these are a necessity in my bathroom. Nobody likes walking around leaking fluids for the next day or so. Unless you’re douching (which ladies you shouldn’t be doing), no amount of showering “cleans you out”. Buy them. Enjoy the clean feeling.

This makes post sex hygiene a breeze. Ladies this product was recommended in a women's forum when a woman was brave enough to ask other women how they managed post sex hygiene. I will never be without this product. It really has changed the game for me. I did not like the feeling of things "hanging" around after sex. I know longer have that feeling and I feel much cleaner after sex.

I know this product states it was designed by a woman, but I really cannot believe that she actually uses these on a regular basis.It’s a fantastic idea, and it does work for the purpose intended, but the material is extremely rough! I’m honestly super shocked.I agree 100% with others who state that this is basically a very cheap sponge on a popsicle stick, and if you can figure out a way to cut up your own sponges, sterilize them, and then attach them to a popsicle stick or a string, you’ve basically got these.Or, as some others have said, just use a tampon for the same purpose. I mean that’s probably much more economical anyway.Their saving grace is that, yes, they work pretty darn well, although not perfectly. And they come wrapped individually.I won’t be buying them again, but I’m sure some people will want to put them on their subscribe and save.Oh wait! The most important thing about them is this: no little pieces came off inside me. That is the number one most important aspect of these because little pieces of foreign debris can cause bad infections. This is also why, despite them being made of a rough, uncomfortable (not actually painful) material, I am still giving them four stars. They are not actually causing any harm, I think.On the other hand, I’ve been forgetting to use them, so, clearly, they aren’t sticking out in my mind as something amazing.But for some people, these will become indispensable despite the few moments of discomfort from the rough sponge. Lol Whatever…Anyone who used a single-use contraceptive sponge in the late 80s know what I’m talking about!UPDATE MONTHS AFTER FIRST TRY: THESE THINGS ARE REALLY, REALLY SCRATCHY!!! I will not be buying another box anytime soon, I'll just use tampons (OB applicatorless tampons fit in even the tiniest purse), and since we're at home most of the time anyway, a shower seems to be more sensible.

Perfect for intended use

What a simple yet ingenious idea! No more lingering wet feelings. The sponge isn't soft at all (think cheap dollar store porous sponge), but it gets the job done. I will not be without these!
