Time to get your butthole steamed!

Insecure about your butthole? Do you find bleaching just isn't enough? Well, now you can get your rosebud steamed as well! 

The idea of steaming one's nether regions was made popular by Gwyneth Paltrow. She claims the v-steaming not only cleanses the uterus, but also can balance female hormones. Proponents claim that the steam, which is infused with herbs, is a natural cure for some female problems.

Doctors are not convinced. "There's no scientific evidence that shows it works," said Dr. Draion Burch, an ob-gyn in Pittsburgh.

Burch suggested Paltrow might be getting something out of treatment, though. "She's probably getting turned on. Heat increases blood flow to the vagina, as well as the clitoris."

Now some (nutso) men have jumped on the steam bandwagon. A good hole steaming supposedly helps men with hemorrhoids and gives a deep clean to the anus, something that soap and water, apparently, cannot do. Sadly, steaming won't smooth out those unsightly anal wrinkles -- but surely Neutrogena must be working on that.
