Screen Shot 2012-01-27 At 12.02.31 Pm "This easy-to-use beauty and skincare product was developed by an ordinary housewife. Chikako Hirama was simply concerned about her own age and wanted an easy way to combat those telltale lines. Just try the yellow or pink Pupeko daily using such techniques as puffing out your cheeks or sucking them in while breathing through the mouthpiece. Then you can try it while keeping your head upright to give your neck and other muscles further exercise training."

    Wouldn’t stretching the cheek skin more make MORE lines?  Or do the exercises hulk out the facial muscles to compensate?  I’m lost on the science here.  MAGGIEEEE!!!!!!!????  

    • bob d

      Yeah, stretching the skin would simply cause more wrinkles.  Granted, probably not a noticeable amount, unless you were obsessive about using it, but still…

    Let the photoshopping begin!

    uuuuhh… wouldn’t actual fellatio be more, umm, well, umm, you know….  than practice?

  • thivai

    And in just 30 days you, too, can have toned and taut features of a back-alley prostitute!

    Act now and we’ll throw in shake weight…

    I already mentioned the Bane mask yesterday — don’t think I can do it again.

    Japanese fellatio simulator reverses the aging of women’s faces.
    The implications are obvious.
    Men worldwide rejoice in offering a sustainable local alternative.

  • John Rust

    Anti-Asian mouthpiece? 

  • oldtaku

    What the heck. The funniest thing about all these ‘toners’ for neck, cheeks is that the more you exercise them the worse it gets. It’s the skin losing elasticity from deformation (and age), not the tone of the muscle under it.

    Knew a guy who couldn’t move the left side of his face – completely paralyzed. It looked 10-20 years younger than the right side.

    • blueelm

      Hence botox.

    “… developed by an ordinary housewife”

    So not a doctor?

      Developed by a school teacher!

  • dancharvey

    I’m simultaneously reminded of fellatio and Mona Richmond’s character’s surgery in Brazil.

    For some reason the promo pic reminds me of this:

    My grandma just says “E” “A” “I” “O”U” very over exaggeratedly and slowly, and she’s 82 without any jowls.

    • Richard Dagenais

      vowels for no jowls?

      • millie fink

        “Vowels prevent jowls!”

  • voiceinthedistance

    Mount a kazoo in it and you have a viable musical instrument.
    Add a vibrator, and . . . you have a vibrating musical instrument.
