Dripstick from Awkward Essentials


Name: Dripstick

Price: $15 (for a pack of 10)  

Material: Medical-grade polyurethane sponge and polypropylene handle.

Size: Total Length: 5" inches (2.5" insertable sponge; 2.5" handle)

Power Source: N/A 

Basic Description: This is a disposable after-sex clean up sponge designed to absorb sexual fluids after sex. This is not meant to be a form of birth control or STD/STD prevention. 

Pros: It is very, very lightweight. The sponge is soft and not too big. This could be a great alternative for folks who can not get to the bathroom to clean up.  Also, because it comes in single packets, it is great for travel too. 

Cons: If you can not reach your genitals and don't feel comfortable asking for assistance, you might not be able to use this product. The handle is very short, so you will need the ability to be precise with inserting it. This is not for external clean up, so if you can not handle penetration, this won't be useful for you. 

Accessibility Features: The fact you can clean up without going to the bathroom necessarily is great. The size and weight of the product also makes it more accessible. 

Ponderings: If you partake in penetrative sex that may lead to needing to clean up afterward and are interested in a relatively accessible way of doing that, this could be a good product for you.
