It takes no rocket-science degree to call body parts with the names they are assigned. I mean, would you call your hands, feet? No right? What's up with vagina then? Big companies will make jade eggs for your vagina but will call the body part, "va-jay-jay", "pink pearl", "heart of her femininity", or even worse, a "hoo-ha"! To start with, Kourtney Kardashian's company Poosh which describes itself as "the modern guide to living your best life", was recently trolled in the same context. In one of their Twitter posts, they called the vagina, "hoo-ha" while advertising their "non-toxic feminine washes" and Twitter is giving it back to them. Before we even get to the problem with celebrities advertising washes and other cleansing products for body parts that don't even need them, let's talk about how they even shy away from using the term "vagina" in their advertisements.

The tweet shared by Poosh read: "Keep your yoni healthy with these non-toxic feminine washes that won’t harm your hoo-ha." After this, they shared the link to their website.

Like, really
If you’re too embarrassed to say vagina, then why are selling worthless products for them? The vagina doesn’t need anything to keep it fresh.

Or you could spend your money well and buy the excellent book "The Vagina Bible" by @DrJenGunter who is an actual expert. And doesn't use idiotic euphemisms for "vagina".

Can show an ass but can’t say vagina or vulva.

Truth
Lady bits are self-cleaning. You’re pushing the patriarchy narrative that we are inherently dirty.

Get it, straight
hoo-ha? Grown women aren't toddlers. And hoo-ha is Brit slang that means something completely unrelated.
It's a no from me, dawg.

Honesty served hot!
Love to sell our pointless product formulated with shame through culturally appropriated terms and objectifying imagery!

Right from people calling out their copywriter to grilling them for selling vaginal-cleaning products in the first place, Twitterverse is not in the mood for having it. What do you think?
