It serves a legitimate medical purpose. This is the lamest attempt to create a headline I've seen in days.

It's the commercials. They're clever and funny and "mainstream-y."

My preferred lubricant. It has the little straw thing for pinpoint applications. As you can read, it "stops squeaks," which can be an embarrassing condition.
