Sweetest fetus soap: weird and cute?
Filed under: Your Pregnancy
By now most of the parents around the blog-universe
have seen a post somewhere about the knitted womb. But did you know
about the fetus soap?Like a teeny bug in amber, Sweetest Fetus soap features a diminutive (and admittedly cute) “feto” made of Sculpey, encased in a vegan, lavender-scented, clear glycerine bar. For $6 and shipping (in the United States only), the soap can be had on etsy.com. Fetos come in a rainbow of skin colors, and other fetopia products have included feto fridge magnets and a set of fetus pilgrims for the Thanksgiving table.
To paraphrase Bob Costas, "I'm loathe to have a reaction to that." But I like what the maker of Sweetest Fetus soap says about fetos not aiding either the pro-life or the pro-choice agenda. Pragmatic and to the point: “Fetos are meant to represent neither living nor dead fetos. They are clay.”
Oh, and if you’re not attracted to the glycerine-encased feto, feto soaps online offers additional family-friendly shapes like dinosaurs and honey bears.

Kate said...I tend to think fetuses (is that a word?) are pretty gross - even my daughter's u/s images turned my stomach at first. But these are actually pretty funny. I like the punk fetus with the pink mohawk. Not that I really get appeal of decorative soaps to begin with, but I appreciate the goofiness of these.
