Silicone for face lifting… And you get 5 of them. In case you wear them out, you know, lifting your face.
I like how they also advertise a kit to clean up the inevitable mess you’re going to make with the air pistol they sell.
I’ve seen that sucking thing advertised so many times, doesn’t seem like an item that someone would buy after randomly getting it recommended…
It probably aids in what the kids call “mewing” which is supposed to shape your chin/neck line. It probably doesn’t work but people into “looksmaxxing” are into it.
No way that air pistol is shooting anything other than plastic BBs, but that does look like an Asherman chest seal for a sucking chest wound
A mess with an air pistol (or any pistol, for that matter) is only inevitable if you’re using it in a way you’re not supposed to.
That’s like saying a mess is inevitable with a kitchen knife or a baseball bat. The object isn’t dangerous unless someone is being dangerous with it.
I agree. The comment was intended to be a humorous take on the proximity of the two advertised products.
1 to 5?
is it like a lootbox?
I’m assuming it means 1 set of 5 pieces, as in a box of 5 units. The seller might offer more bulk options. I usually see it as 1x5pc rather than 1-5pc where I work, where we deal with lots of bulk shipments, but it could just be regional differences.

You chew on the thing and it trains your facial muscles which changes the shape of your face. I don’t know whether that makes a lot of difference and whether this product in particular does what it says it does but the principle doesn’t seem too far-fetched, does it?

It does.

My initial reaction is that it strongly feels like junk science, but I’m also not in the health field. Moreover, if somebody had shown that image without text and asked me what the product was for, face sculpting wouldn’t have been my first guess (or second, or third).

It looks like someone chewing on a large buttplug.
