"Little Doozee,"
douche nozzle that fits a bottle of
carbonated drink - a spermicide for
birth control, family planning?
U.S.A., [date?]
Women have squirted many kinds of
fluids up their vaginas for usually
two reasons: "cleaning" and to kill
sperm. Well, maybe also for
masturbation or other sex play.
It's amazing to me that someone
actually manufactured a nozzle to
attach to the open end of a carbonated
drink bottle so that the fluid could
be used to kill and flush out sperm.
"That's a doozee [or doozy]!" used
to mean "That's a lie!" and some other
things. It implied "big," which might
be why this is a "Little Doozee."
Maybe too Doozee plays on the word
douche.
The festive cover prepares you for
the text inside, meaning Have fun!
See old contraceptive sponges and douches
designed ostensibly for cleaning the
vagina but also used for
contraception.
