them napkins

so. today i met a lady friend of mine up to get my grubby lil hands on this great facial product that her mother (the genius) has created - and as she was handing that precious pot of gold to me she mentioned that oh yeah, here're your napkins.

thus she passed me this pretty flower-printed eco-bag with two cubes of ..something.. inside. then it struck me: those were packs of well, napkins* she had bought for me some days earlier!

what's special about these napkins is that they come with silver nano technology (top most layer), far infra-red rays and negative ions (second layer) followed by er, several layers of cottony absorbers, super absorbent polymer, ultra (not just transpiring, but ultra) transpiring membrane - whatever that means. (postscript: it translates to, if you hadn't clicked on that link provided, that it is er, easy-dry)

at first glance anyone would wonder why the hells anyone would want silver nano technology stuck near where the sun don't shine. truth be told, so did i, at first.

i supposed, when i was told about the miracle napkins, that every person would want to feel expensive once in a while and while silver can't do squat to add to the quality to whatever it is you want to add quality to - there are some who actually can tell the difference between silver and silver nano technology. luckily for us ignoramuses, there's always GOOGLE to help us out.

then there's the infrareds. hmm. sounds kinda hot and it's already humid down there without any help and we all know the conditions that best describe tropical mangrove swamps.

but i digress. google results say that INFRARED RAYS have a myriad of uses, from thermography to astronomy. so alright, i dig the silver nano. but infrared? hm.

aaanyhoos. according to my lady friend (who is not a napkin-peddler, by the way), this pack of tech completely alleviated her period pains. so its price ($5.60 for a pack of 10, gotten at a discount) is not without reason. that's coming from someone who suffers monthly discomforts - for someone (me) without much discomfort in times as such - well, why not.

what's it going to do, bite me? for all you know, its continual use may regain me my virginity.**



* the sanitary sort. some come with wings, some fly.

** okay, i kid. i'm actually quite excited about this product. ;)
