Anybody read Japanese? I saw this advertisement come through on Facebook and I just started laughing.
I mean… what in the world…
Anybody care to guess what it is and what purpose it serves? My favorite is the woman in the bottom right corner.

Unless you're a total prude, your mind will automatically go to the obvious! But, I don't need to speak Japanese in order to see that thisis a facial muscle exerciser.
Yeah I'm sorry but this just looks... LOL "Adult"
just saw it on World's Dumbest.
Yep -- face exerciser. Looks like everyone could enjoy it, though!
Prosthetic lips for people who can't afford collagen implants? bahahaha.

This device is a 'Face Slimmer' (フェイススリマー). You are supposed to wear it and repeat the basic hiragana vowels 'a i u e o' (あいうえお) for 3 minutes a day (一日たった三分).
I've been studying Japanese at a nice little school for a little over a year. This device is a 'Face Slimmer' (フェイススリマー).. 'あいうえお' (aiueo) is the basic sound of the hiragana alphabet, kind of like their analogue to our 'ABCDEFG...'. You are supposed to wear it and repeat aiueo for 3 minutes a day.
My mind must be REALLY far down the gutter. This doesn't look like a spa product to me.
@DarahSoria OMG. That is exactly what I was thinking!!
@DarahSoria
Oh boy! Mine too. *red-faced*
It's a beauty session. It's selling this mouth-like thing, which you put into your mouth, like the ladies in the ad, and it helps stretches and strengthen your face muscle. I see so many of these Japanese inventions that I find it really normal (although I don't read Japanese, but Chinese). And I didn't realise that westerns may find them weird. LOL
ew..dont even want to know..err..helps with sagging jowl lines on the face??

@danoah LOL You're still trying to figure out what that is?!
My mind went on the dirty side too...
what do you think it is, dude?
Facial muscel exerciser.... per my friend who can read Japanese
My guess (after the naughty ones) was a device to help learn to yodel. It's apparently big in Tokyo. google Takeo Ischi
omg, my mind went to a dark place
If that thing is for what it looks like it's for as opposed to what they say it's for...gotta ask, wouldn't men run screaming if that came at them? LOL
http://technabob.com/blog/2012/02/03/face-slimmer-mouthpiece/ here is an ad in english
So many comments running through my mind and none of them are appropriate, but the facial muscle thing people keep mentioning is accurate. The culture is obsessed with looking young and youthful.
See my mind didn't go straight there... I wondered if it improved singing but was puzzling over how you'd sing with that thing in your mouth, THEN I read the comments and blushed thankful I didn't write something über dumb.
LMAO it says it is supposed to stop wrinkles..LMAO..alllllrighty then.
see now apart from a fellatio assistance device, i would have gone with a singing training aid, but to me it seems a little Irish to stretch something in order to make it tighter. It is, in fact, for exercising the facial muscles in order to reduce the signs of aging and increase muscle tone. At least I know why I have such a young looking face!
Lol, that looks dirty. But oddly enough its supposedly like a mini-face lift contraption. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/4173842/Wacky-gadgets-claim-to-help-women-shun-cosmetic-surgery.html

Apparently, it's a "mouth stretcher" to get rid of wrinkles. Check out this article for other, similarly bizarre Japanese products . . .
That looks very R rated rofl that's the only thing that comes to mind when looking at that, uh, product.
lol!
You gotta love the feigned look of surprise on the model... As if, OMG! I totally cannot remember how I got this inside my mouth!
it covers the teeth for oral relations. I would rather get a leatherman if I was a guy.
Yoshi... We never talk anymore....
Lori is correct. The advert says to put it in your mouth and sing the alphabet to tighten your face up. Product name is "face slimmer"
hahahaha... I've seen that. it's supposed to tighten the skin around your mouth so you don't get wrinkles/jowls. :)
Dirty buggers!
Looks like it stretches out laugh lines
My guess, a face exerciser that give you a "lift". either that or some perverted product.
To stop you sucking your thumb? least there is a woman sucking hers in the top left corner
*mind in the gutter* I would guess it is actually a jaw toning exercise thingy. But I'm sure it could have other dirtier uses.
Weeellll....I could go XXX here, or the PG version, which would be something to help you sing better??? LOL
@amlykken my first thought was that it was to help you sing better. To get more volume or to be able to enunciate words better.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who went to the dark side!

.@danoah Toning exercises for your face?! Seems to be like 1 of those balls u can squeeze in your hand, only gross.. :) http://t.co/WClW6HeB
I think it's some sort of device for exercising facial muscles. But how weird!
It's a face-slimming device? Wow . . . 'cause that's *not* what I thought of when I first saw it. XD
I do read a little Japanese, actually, and the woman in the corner seems to be sounding out vowels, which I suppose would be the "shower massager" advertising function, but not the actual purpose. It could be used for enunciation exercises.
Yeah, there's an american product, been around for years, that uses stretcher bars. Your mouth makes the same shape as you "work out." http://www.facialflex.com/before-and-after.php?id=5
I just can't help but look at it and laugh, and pity the woman who did the ad. Wonder how much she got paid for that one....
Our daughter, who knows everything, says that it is a device to get rid of wrinkles.
