Has anyone here ever used these? I haven’t, so I don’t understand how they’re practical. I get that using water makes them expand… but what good is a wet towel? What am I missing?
They're pretty big so you probably wouldn't be able to swallow one. They're a bit smaller than a quarter but quite thick. It'd start to expand in your mouth as soon as it got a little wet and you'd (hopefully) realize immediately that you're not supposed to swallow it. If you ignored all of that and forced yourself to swallow it, then you're probably going to choke as it expands. If you somehow got it in your stomach, then it'll expand in there and you'll have other serious issues.

Fun fact: if you put one of these in Ben Shapiro’s wife’s vagina it just stays a pill and never expands.

If you put one of these in Ben Shapiro's ass, he'll ask you where you bought it from.

I believe it's for washing yourself. Not something us Lemmy/kbin users have much experience with.

I had one as a gift. It was more a novelty, but I guess it's very small to package.

They would swallow them, so their bellies would fill up with towels and then they would die.

Man I wonder how's bad it'd be if someone managed to swallow one of those.

If you hold a corner with your teeth and get the rest of it through you; give your insides a real good polish

Disposable? What are they made from?
roguetrick@kbin.social · 28 pts · 2y
Polyester. They're disposable because they're cheap, not because it's good for the environment.
Edit: I think they do make some out of paper
