    Now that is fine for the side sleeping ladies, but what about those of us who sleep with their faces in the pillows or on our backs? Shouldn't there be a convertible strap option to accommodate us?


    And these were all designed by men. You can't sleep in an underwire.

    Funny how all this vacuum tech is mainly only needed for insecure white gals - much like the counterpart for white guys' junk.

    (Anyone known an Asian, African or Puerto Rican women who've used these for their breasts?)

    @Sam Timmins: Oh you betcha! There were about a 1,000 products even more ridiculous than 'vacuums' every day in Japanese women's magazines. Including, but not limited to: drinks, creams, injections, 'medical strips', and vibrating devices, all to 'stimulate breast size'

    OMGZ, i just had the craziest idea... what if the Kush scientists managed to, somehow, using advanced science, install a vibrating device into the Kush? I KNOW!!! patent first


    Because it seems to me that that would be like, tottaly relaxing and what not. Also, tottaly novel and not done before ever. It would be tottaly amazing... Tottaly.


    I swear, all the science in this beautiful site of yours is really making me expand my horizons AND grow as a person.
