My daughter.........

How should I phrase this? ([worried emoti])

Well. My daughter is now a very small tad within the distant sighting of the very peri menopause. (OK so far? (she won't read this))

And, she is beginning to realise, on the odd occasion (sneezing mostly), that she would have done better to listen to me with regard to exercising her pelvic floor. hmm [sniff]

So I have bought her some of these www.amazon.co.uk/Aquaflex-Pelvic-Floor-Exercise-System/dp/B003UES7A8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323419215&sr=8-1

It's alright to wrap 'em up and give them to her as a Christmas present, isn't it?

Given the tone of this thread gracesmum the notion of a "pop up George Clooney" conjured up a very ungrandmotherlike image in my brain.
Is that what you meant?????!!!!! shock

gracesmum Fri 09-Dec-11 18:25:13

So what is she likely to "surprise" you with jingl? Given that the pop-up George Clooney has my name on his gift tag - can you say gift tag on GN? gringrin

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 18:21:24

Ah, but you don't know DD gracesmum. wink

Well here is a good place... My son wanted a pair of work shorts for xmas. Macho shorts with extra pockets and loops for your spanners.
I was sorely tempted by a work kilt. This kind of thing:
www.utilikilts.com/
I went to a show and a member of the technical crew, wearing one, climbed a ladder, right next to me. (Oooo, matron, I didn't know where to look!)
But I don't think that a/ he is yet quite that comfortable with his sexuality or b/ the Australian plumbing community is ready...
Mind you, it would be a huge success with some of his customers methinks...

I am very relieved (pardon the pun) that you seem to be being dissuaded from gift wrapping the aforementioned and therefore are more likely to live through Christmas and still be here in January. I would have a) been mortified, b) killed my mother c) never spoken to her again and all the way through to z) crawled away and died. It might depend on her attitude to the "problem" though- if she has a laugh about it, OK, but if she is at all sensitive your idea sounds like it could go down like a cup of cold sick
Happy gifting!!
We could do a thread on Christmas presents guaranteed to make people never speak to you ever again as long as they live grin

Ok superdupernana follow the link in OP. Then click on the photo. There are 4 small photos at the bottom then, and if you click on them they enlarge.
I think i have worked out what they are - WEIGHTS. You have to clench up and stop the the darn thing dropping out. Gradually increase the weights as you ge more muscular down there...
Imagine if it fell out in the supermarket queue. Excuse me madam, you seem to have dropped something...

Oh dear, Giggling helplessly again. I don't think I have ever laughed so much on my own ever.
Must be careful not to wet myself!!!

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 16:56:35

jess - buy yer own. hmm

I should have expected this response on here!!! hmm

grin

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 16:55:17

Oh right!!!!!!!

Oh well. Good luck to her then. grin

super - you are getting worse! hmm

wink

supernana Fri 09-Dec-11 16:36:59

JessM I want to look at the funny pictures on Amazon. What do I type in please? grin
jingle if the gift you propose to give to your daughter fits into a cracker, then why not take the whistle, yo-yo, plastic ring whatever from a bought cracker, and substitute the "gadget" - just make sure that your daughter pulls the right cracker!

JessM Fri 09-Dec-11 15:56:46

Laughing like a drain here. Brilliant. Completely inappropriate mother daughter gift I would say.
Ned thing you will be buying her a vibrator. [trying to keep a straight face emoticon]
I can't find the product description on Amazon, only pictures. How to all those buttony thready bits work? What are they for?
Can I have this gift instead please?

jogginggirl Fri 09-Dec-11 15:41:49

Have you read the product description jingl? blush

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 15:20:34

No wonder you blushed, Madam! shock

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 15:18:05

joggin.........

WHAT NEEDS?! shock

I'm not missing anything, am I?

They're not (whisper) dual purpose in any way, are they? [worried now]

Gally Fri 09-Dec-11 09:47:51

Ooooooh Jingle trust you to be so thoughtful grin

harrigran Fri 09-Dec-11 09:26:54

jingl do you want to wear the gift as earrings ? of course you can't put the gift under the tree but I am sure she will love you for your thoughtful present grin

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 09:22:09

Granny-a! grin

Grannylin Fri 09-Dec-11 09:17:34

hmm ga, you said you had gone!!

greenmossgiel Fri 09-Dec-11 09:15:16

Good one!! grin

grannyactivist Fri 09-Dec-11 09:07:48

Wee gift!! He-he!! grin grin grin

Ariadne Fri 09-Dec-11 09:03:22

My DD's on the way there too. Will remember the wee giftgrin

Notsogrand Fri 09-Dec-11 09:02:29

Mmmm....not sure jings. No doubt she'll be pleased to receive this, but as a Christmas present? With other people around? As she's still quite a way off from the golden age of occasionally damp gussets, she may want the potential for this to be a little lower profile. Further down the line feels a better time to be 'out in the open' about it. For example, I wouldn't mind receiving a bumper pack of Tena Lady under the tree, all done up with swirly ribbons. grin

jingl Fri 09-Dec-11 09:00:06

OH, alright then!

Good job I asked. grin

grannyactivist Fri 09-Dec-11 08:57:42

What a thoughtful gift jingl - but I agree that maybe it should be given 'on the sly'. wink
