We are all uniquely and individually disgusting. This was brought to my attention on a recent trip to the drug store, when I discovered, en route to the candy aisle from the shampoo aisle, that there are a lot of really disturbing products out there. So I decided to go back to see what else I could find. Turns out there was a lot of stuff to work with — mostly found on bottom shelves, out of view of the average consumer (but fully in view of little kids, ironically). Only one rule: I’m keeping this list free of “old people” products, of which there are understandably quite a lot. Making fun of the Depends-wearing elderly feels akin to setting a puppy on fire.

Infomercials are typically a point of humor for the drunk, high and insomnia-prone. You stumble home from the bar or party at 4am, turn on the TV and laugh at how excited people are over solutions for modern living. But what about the products they sell on infomercials that might actually be worth writing down that impossibly long 800 number.

Through hearsay, our imagination, and some actual experience, here is COED’s list of the 10 products you’ve seen on TV that don’t completely suck.

Ah, to be independent from your parents and siblings – it’s freedom that most college students aren’t ready for, believe it or not. Case in point: you live like a slob ’cause your mom always did your laundry, and your idea of clean is hiding a mess until the smell becomes so repugnant that calling the fumigators may be a lost cause.

Living with like-minded slobs doesn’t help matters. It’s all fun and games until you find yourself less likely to sleep at home and more likely to crash on somebody else’s couch. You have a dorm/apartment so utilize it, you slob!

Here are some convenient and affordable tips to keep your living area clean:

Buy toiletries in bulk

I know the first thing you’re thinking is “What the f*** are toiletries?” Well, “toiletries” is French (or something) for “bathroom stuff” like toilet paper, bathroom spray, shampoo, conditioner, cotton swabs, toothpaste – you know, that stuff you’ve never bought yourself.

Somewhere within a 20 mile radius from your living space is a Wal-Mart, or even better, Sam’s Club. Take a weekend trip with the roomies twice a month to stock up on all the essentials for cheap. If there’s no super-savings store near you – or if you don’t have any source of transportation – ask that guy/gal who goes home every weekend (there’s always one) if they can pick you up a bundle of bathroom stuff. Tip ‘em nice and you’re in the clear with a clear conscience.

One more thing: use the products; don’t just stock them up for show. (more…)

Seeing George Clooney trot out of his estate clutching the “Liberator” sex ramp got me thinking: why use the Liberator?

Couldn’t you get the same effect the Liberator provides by piling up pillows into the shape of a ramp? Why does this company deserve my money?

After a bit of web sleuthing I can now see the charms in this portable coitus cushion.

Liberator products – yes, they sell much more than the sex ramp; more on that later – are IKEA-esque cushions, couches and ramps that are used for the same reason you lay down newspaper for your dog: mess control. The last thing you need is a not-so-secretive splooge stain on the futon your mom bought as a housewarming gift.

As sex props, these pieces of sexual furniture do their job. Each cushion is designed for maximum pleasure in a particular position; the “Zeppelin” acts as a “love ship” modeled for threesomes and orgies while the “Cube” (main pic is tasteful; others are NSFW) is all about space-saving sex.

If cutting down the price of the new iPhone by $200 (after only two months on the market) wasn’t enough to put the tech collective in a frenzy, Apple has announced their new iPod – the iPod touch – along with updated models of the Nano and Classic.

The iPod touch sports a 3.5 inch widescreen display with a fully-functional interface not unlike the iPhone (Safari web browser, YouTube). But the biggest draw iPod touch has to offer is wireless downloading capabilities: purchase songs from Wi-Fi iTunes on the fly. (more…)
