Years ago I have been told that The Lady of The Nite use Alum Water to make thing tighter in the lower area . Does anyone know how it work or if it had any other uses? Maybe  some form of birth control or health uses.

All I know about alum is that cartoon where Sylvester the Cat swallows some alum water, then he actually catches Tweetie Bird but he can't stuff him into his mouth because it's too tight.  Maybe you're onto something here!

Alum is what Bornean headhunters used to create "shrunken heads". Just not sure how safe it would be.

h.

I know they use alum in tanning hides...the hair is suppose to stay on better if the folical is tightened...Makes pickles crisper instead of mushy....So maybe it works...for those who need it...*wink, Kisses, Robyn

A little off topic I suppose..'cuz it's got nothing to do with pickles. But I wasn't aware of alum being used by taxidermists.  That's probably a better method than I myself used in tanning (yeah, I've done some hunting)...that involved scaping off all the meat (ouch), salting it heavily (ouch) to keep the flies from laying eggs, & setting it out in the sun--the hotter the better (ouch again).  Of course a 'pickle' should never be subjected to that kind of treatment!  LOL

I guess Kosher or sweet makes little difference..both require a cucumber. LOL

EOM!!!!!!

Alum is also used in stiptic pencils, ie. the stuff that keeps us guys from bleeding when we cut ourselves shaving.  When I use it on rare occasion, it makes me yelp just a bit.  

Would the alum water tighten up the poon?  Sure.  I wouldn't mess with it though.

It would also DRY the woman's vaginal tissues out.  Talk about a Dry Fuck!  YUCK!!!!!!!!!

Alum is the super-sour ingredient in some candies like "Atomic Warheads."
