Thong Thung Brown
How does this happen? How do you sew this and dye it, and photograph it and list it, and never at any point in the process say, “Wow this really looks like someone shit themselves?” How do you miss that? I mean this isn’t like one of those magic eye things that you have to look at for 10 minutes before you see the dolphin. If you can’t see a giant diarrhea smear on your thong, you might want to start hitting the lutein.
June 26, 2011 at 12:31 pm
At least it comes prestained?
June 26, 2011 at 12:36 pm
It looks like someone has been staining this for several YEARS. D:
June 26, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Heavy flow.
June 26, 2011 at 12:55 pm
Seriously, it’s a major failure when someone feels the need to bleach a product clean before using it.
June 26, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Bleach? More like flame thrower.
June 26, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Yeah, I want to know how it’s going to hold up to any sort of wear and tear if it’s not waterproof. Does that mean I can’t get it wet or the dye will run? No thank you.
July 1, 2011 at 1:26 am
No, that just means it doesn’t have a waterproof layer, like windbreaker material, to help prevent leak-through.
Don’t ask me how I know this.

What, she ran out of red food coloring?

June 26, 2011 at 12:43 pm
She ran out of red making the other stuff, this was um….bottom of the line creation.
The thing is, I’m all for re-usable pads. But this is EXACTLY what gives the concept a bad name.
June 26, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Yeah, white or natural (unbleached) are really the only colors you want in any type of pad.
June 26, 2011 at 2:00 pm
I disagree, kimoutre.
People wear colored and patterned underwear all the time, so why can’t cloth pads be colored or patterned?
However, there is a huge difference between a cloth pad with turquoise flowers or something and one that looks like it has been very used and badly stained.
June 26, 2011 at 8:48 pm
For me, it’s a cleanliness thing. Plain, undyed fabric seems more hygenic.
June 26, 2011 at 1:35 pm
You mean like this one? eep.
If you are into reusuable pads, knock yourself out, ladies, but if you’re leaking enough to need any kind of pad, maybe you should re-think whether or not it’s a thong day.
June 26, 2011 at 2:02 pm
There are regular old disposable pads/liners shaped for thongs as well.
I don’t really get it.
June 26, 2011 at 2:19 pm
It looks like a terrible bicycle accident involving Siamese twins..
June 26, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Well apparently that came out wrong. I just meant that I was not sure if you had made a funny comment without looking, or if you had actually looked and seen her “red phase.” No insult intended, just wanted to make sure you had seen those nasty things.
June 26, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Red? I thought it was blue, like on TV.
June 26, 2011 at 12:59 pm
Like this one:
June 26, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Red vs Blue (5pts to whoever gets it)
I did check her other stuff though. I’m not sure what she’s trying to attempt since her work isn’t that bad, but at NO TIME should you be dyeing menstrual pads any shades of brown or red.
June 26, 2011 at 1:08 pm
@jaiejohnson, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BAM9fgV-ts do I win?
June 26, 2011 at 1:17 pm
These days they are using green. Who the hell are they kidding….
June 26, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Lemon Bombs, the commercials using green are trying to be politically correct (no red vs blue states of, uh, no, I can’t go there) and reinforcing the “green” movement. [Insert overindulgence of aparagus joke here.]
June 26, 2011 at 2:38 pm
LOL! Because we bleed our voting preferences! I guess the Green party is right out!
June 26, 2011 at 5:23 pm
@jaiejohnson: I’d prefer one in ‘light red.’ It’s not pink.
December 20, 2011 at 8:30 am
I think I see an image of Jesus in there somewhere!
June 26, 2011 at 1:33 pm
She has those too – shudder.
June 26, 2011 at 2:27 pm
That’s pretty terrible. Her dye skills would be better served on anything else.
June 26, 2011 at 12:34 pm
How is a non-waterproof pad appropriate protection?
June 26, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Well, I’m no expert, but I would think that if you scotch guard/waterproof…well, everything will just…pool on the top, run over the sides…
I am getting uncomfortable.
June 26, 2011 at 1:40 pm
The top should not be waterproof, but some layer in there should be, or what’s the point?
June 26, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Usually it’s supposed to be your upper fabric (in this case with stains of wtf) of cotton or linen then a layer or two of cotton batting, then the bottom layers are supposed to be waterproof. Usually ultrex.
June 26, 2011 at 2:11 pm
You change them before they get that ‘full’ basically. A lot of people who use cloth pads use them as back-up for a cup too, so they don’t need to absorb as much as using a pad alone. Some of the waterproof backings used on cloth pads can irritate sensitive skin too. A lot of cloth pads are non-waterproof actually.
June 26, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Screw all that. Wonderful, unnatural birth control pills stop all that nonsense! Hate the cost, LOVE having nothing better to do with tampons than put mustaches on them!
June 26, 2011 at 11:25 pm
Some IUDs like the Mirena also achieve the same outcome, and you only have to see your doc to get it changed out once every 5 years which works out a LOT cheaper.
June 26, 2011 at 12:35 pm
Well at least she won’t have to worry about skidmarks anymore.
June 26, 2011 at 12:35 pm
How could the maker look at this and NOT think “shit stain”?
June 26, 2011 at 12:53 pm
I’m more concerned about the buyer who find it attractive. They might want to head to a clinic and get checked if they thick a stain like that will hide their output.
June 26, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Gag gift? In more ways than one.
June 26, 2011 at 4:44 pm
I’m just waiting for the regretsian who bought this to fess up
June 26, 2011 at 12:36 pm
Silly seller! Accidental staining is supposed to happen after you put on a liner, not before.
June 26, 2011 at 12:36 pm
Perfect for being left alone at the beach.
June 26, 2011 at 12:48 pm
lol just imagine his face when you pull down your thong… revealing the ‘new’ liner you just bought!
Now that’s sexy.
June 26, 2011 at 12:37 pm
on a semi-serious note, feminine hygiene products are white for a reason. if something is up with your bits, ala coloration and whatnot, you’re going to notice it pretty damn quick on a stark, white background. so this is basically useless on multiple levels.
June 26, 2011 at 12:37 pm
why dye? can’t they just be natural? Her shop looks like a bunch of dirty hippies soiled themselves and left her the spoils
June 26, 2011 at 12:52 pm
Reminds me of a story.
Was at a Renn Faire with now ex-BF. He was wearing the loudest, most hideous tie-dye shirt ever created. As we walked down a path, a young man running one of the attractions looked him over and said, “Pardon m’lord, but has a hippie vomited all over thy tunic?”
I never let him live that one down. Good times.
June 26, 2011 at 1:03 pm
We medievalists like playing with the “munnies.”
June 26, 2011 at 1:18 pm
They are such easy prey.
June 26, 2011 at 9:10 pm
I love watching costume-less people get tortured at Faires!!!
June 26, 2011 at 12:38 pm
… everyone knows it’s better to buy preowned thunderwear, they lose a quarter of their value right after you drive them off the lot.
June 26, 2011 at 12:55 pm
Thunderwear is my new favorite word. I’m going to have to head to Victoria’s Secret to throw it around. Awesome times should ensue.
June 26, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Golden rule violation! Golden rule violation! Gag. It has to be “pre-owned,” it has initials on it. (I see the M clearly, am guessing that the second letter is a G or C).
June 26, 2011 at 12:42 pm
why would you make me go back and look that close? WHY?? Haven’t I always been nice to you?
June 26, 2011 at 12:46 pm
You know the saying, “horor and nausea loves company.” Just make sure to shield the new one’s eyes, I don’t want to be reponsible for warping a child’s mind (at least not this early in life, maybe a year or two later):)
June 26, 2011 at 1:27 pm
But warping minds is what we do best!
June 26, 2011 at 1:47 pm
True, but I believe that her sprog is only about two months old. There is that fine line between raising a snark connoisseur and a serial killer (the legal fees for the latter are a bitch).
June 26, 2011 at 2:42 pm
the wee one is 6 weeks old. And you guys can warp away…I’m working on the older two myself.
June 26, 2011 at 12:44 pm
Wow, I never noticed that before. Double gross.
June 26, 2011 at 1:03 pm
She did say it was hand-dyed. I think she just misunderstood that part about the “hand” and used other methods. There’s no need to be upset about that; it’s organic.
June 26, 2011 at 1:39 pm
It was hand-dyed! She just elected, and wisely so, not to include any more details of her… personal technique.
June 26, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Hmmm. I stared at it for 10 minutes and failed to see the initials you’re talking about. But a dolphin did eventually appear.
June 26, 2011 at 1:42 pm
I see the Munch painting “The Scream”.
June 26, 2011 at 1:42 pm
And it seems appropo.
June 26, 2011 at 7:50 pm
10 minutes? Strong stomach! In case you wish to try again, upper left corner. There is a nasty, brown, V-shaped stain and, above that, what looks like initials in washed out Sharpie.
June 27, 2011 at 6:10 pm
I thought it looked like K. C. Regardless, ICK!!! That seriously makes me questions as to whether this really is just a dye job gone bad (which is bad enough, in this case) or if she really is trying to pass a stain off as a dye job gone bad.
June 26, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Maybe they just needed to use up that surplus of cow-print flannel.
June 26, 2011 at 12:39 pm
at no point, NO POINT, should ‘thong’ and ‘brown’ occupy the same phrase. EVER.
June 26, 2011 at 12:41 pm
I really can’t thumbs up this remark high enough.
June 26, 2011 at 1:28 pm
What can brown do for you?
June 26, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Go away, far, far away.
June 26, 2011 at 2:29 pm
I have a leopard-print thong. It has brown lace trim.
Hey, they’re NOT in the same phrase – or even the same sentence!
June 27, 2011 at 3:23 am
I think she took the term “butt floss” too literally.
June 26, 2011 at 12:42 pm
Is it just me or does $6 seem rather expensive for a pantyliner (even a resuable one)?
June 26, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Hey, snaps and shit-brown dye cost something. And of course the time to create it in her abililty as an artist.
June 26, 2011 at 12:47 pm
This pretty much puts the shits to having spontaneous sex with the lights on.
June 26, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Oh Christ, they call the damn things “Homestead Emporium Reusable Pads (H.E.R.Pads)” So not only do they look like you shit yourself, they also sound like a venereal disease.
June 26, 2011 at 1:02 pm
More like “Counterculture Reject Assleak Preservation” pads.
June 26, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Sounds like a trademark! register that sucker!
June 26, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Don’t forget the copyright! And hire Layers!
June 26, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Yeah, about ten of ‘em on a heavy day.
June 26, 2011 at 7:55 pm
Oh come on, with all the stuff on Etsy, I’m sure that some “artist” must already have that one taken.
June 26, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Ha! Given the seller’s cluelessness about how it looks, I’ll bet they were trying to be clever with “H.E.R.” and didn’t realize how it sounded with “Pad”.
Good catch, sipsake.
June 26, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Well, it does appear to have been used already.
June 26, 2011 at 12:49 pm
As if I needed another reason to be happy that I no longer have the menses…. I am now dancing around and smiling… don’t need no stinkin’ (and I mean that literally) thong liners no more….
June 26, 2011 at 12:51 pm
i never thought i’d look forward to menopause…
June 26, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I’ll dance with you, NanaB! Mine is the thank-heavens-for-hysterectomies boogie.
June 26, 2011 at 4:05 pm
I’m dancin the birth-control-slide.
June 27, 2011 at 7:49 am
I use a cup, and it’s great! No nasty soaked things to dispose of :/
June 26, 2011 at 12:49 pm
It even looks disappointed with itself, the stains (of Christ-knows-what) at the top are making a little :/ face. Poor thing.
June 26, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Wait, edit, that’s DYE?
June 26, 2011 at 12:59 pm
I see a pony .. with no ears.
January 30, 2012 at 5:37 pm
They do call it “riding the cotton pony”…
June 26, 2011 at 1:08 pm
“non-waterproof”
Apparantly not.
June 26, 2011 at 1:08 pm
Does this thong make me look infected?
June 26, 2011 at 1:16 pm
If I saw that on my pads, I’d freak the fuck out and run to the ER.
June 26, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Blue-green waffle? There’s a new one on me.
June 26, 2011 at 1:56 pm
For GOD’S SAKE DON’T Google “Blue-green Waffle”!
This was a public service message brought to you by the American Association of Applied Gynecologists.
June 26, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Yeah, instead google for lemons having parties.
June 26, 2011 at 5:58 pm
I would never have thought to look up anything related to “blue waffle” until I read your reply.
Looks like someone with that problem might have been using the seller’s pads before she decided to sell them. x_x
June 26, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Brings all new meaning to the phrase “twat waffle” don’t it?
June 26, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Just moldy. Perhaps showers instead of baths?
June 26, 2011 at 1:21 pm
This was the very first thing I ever saw on Regretsy, yet I remember it like it was yesterday. Amazing how some things stick with you. I’m not sure if that is good or bad in this case, but at least it got me hooked on Regretsy for life!
June 26, 2011 at 8:02 pm
I don’t think that I’d have use “stick with you” in reference to this. Just my opinion:)
June 26, 2011 at 1:29 pm
I understand carrots will help with that problem. Out of respect for tender ears and perverse imaginations I’m not gonna say just how, or which problem.
June 26, 2011 at 1:30 pm
change it to “Shroud of Turin themed panty liner” and you have more sales and more attention.
“perfect for light protection”. Because obviously someone has already tried it on their heavy day and it did not work.
June 26, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Ok, which one of you crack heads bought that thing and gave it as a bridal shower gift?
Just what I want next to my girly bits… someone’s made at home, dyed with God knows what, reusable blood catcher. It would be safer to rub my hoo hoo on a public toilet seat!
June 26, 2011 at 3:25 pm
I first read that as “gritty bits”. Must have been the previous user…
June 26, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Maybe browsing new sites while eating isn’t the best of ideas. I will never be able to eat Chicken Parmesan again!
June 26, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Yet strangely I will be back to this website. Go Figure!
June 26, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Dagnabbit all. I just realized I’ve been sitting here humming “Song Sung Blue” in my head for the last half hour or so.
A pox upon your head, Bronc! May a song you truly despise run through your head now!
June 26, 2011 at 1:44 pm
April,this one really takes me back…This is like one of the first ones I read on regretsy and I fell in love with your humour in that second.
Your comment on this one is the funniest thing I ever read,thanks for being there and sharing your thoughts!
June 26, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Well, in the “artist”‘s defense, it doesn’t look that much like crap… But, on the other hand, it *does* resemble a a recycled article of feminine hygiene… :S
June 26, 2011 at 1:54 pm
ugly in your pants, ugly on your head… ugly.

Instead of butt dialing you can vag dial.
June 26, 2011 at 2:38 pm
Cool! A snap on penis warmer that celebrates GLBT equality! They’re selling like bagels in NY right now!
June 26, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Oooh, not just a thong liner, you can use multipurpose!
June 27, 2011 at 6:15 pm
And change the size of the smell!
June 26, 2011 at 4:01 pm
I’ve always been of the opinion that “light flow day” and “thong day” should never, ever meet. Somehow, a shitstain liner for your butt floss makes me firmer in this belief.
And as for these articles of “hygiene” in general…well, the only thing I want between my legs LESS than the usual stuff would be a big hot double layer of fleece. Ugh.

Am I missing something here? Did she deliberately dye the pad like that, or is the pad supposed to look like she just accidentally spilled the bottle of dye on it?
