When I was a little kid, I loved having little pretend versions of my mom’s beauty products. I rubbed plastic lipstick on my mouth and fake blush on my cheeks. Some people might have freaked out at the idea of a little girl playing at being a grownup by trying to imitate adult standards of beauty, but I think I came out relatively un-warped. (Although the number of products under my bathroom sink might say otherwise.)
That said, I’m struggling to find this SpongeBob SquarePants “Bikini Bottom Groom and Go” kit anywhere in the ballpark of pretend makeup. All I’m seeing is “Baby’s First Pube-Shaving Kit.” Yes, I’ve seen SpongeBob before, and I know that the show is set in a place called Bikini Bottom, but labeling the package this way was a serious fail on the part of the manufacturer.

Bikini Bottom is where SpongeBob lives. The End.
your absolutely right. If the author is thinking like that, maybe he or she is a sexual predator!!!
I had a shaving kit exactly like that when I was little and I grew up into a fine woman, so I think. I also used fake lipstick and blush when I was little like the author but today I barely wear eye liner. I think people are over reacting
its just a box! who cares what the box says? kids dont even think about shaving their underparts nor have any hair to shave so everyone chiiiiiilllllll!!!!
Yeah, but there’s a little thing called “inappropriate marketing” and adult predators who like to sexualize children (um, the innocently unaware you mentioned). Best not to give pedophiles anything to think about when you’re a toy manufacturer. How embarrassing.
bikini bottom, lol
This just shows the necessity of appropriate typography. Split it into two lines, and there’s no problem.
SpongeBob’s
Bikini Bottom
Groom n’ go kit
problem solved. Different fonts would make things clearer as well.
or three. Sorry. I’m an English major, you do the math.
Get a friggin life!
Why does commenting on something mean this person doesn’t have a life? In that case, with that logic, you nor I have lives, either. Shut the fuck up.
OMG! Are you serious!? Get your mind out of the gutter. These fake shaving kits have been around for YEARS. I had one when I was a kid (A little girl) and I never onece thought of shaving pubes…Or legs for that matter. I wanted to shave my face just like my dad did. They had Scooby Doo, Flinstones, Smurfs, and now Spongebob. I can’t see where your getting “shaving pubes” from a picture on the box of a boy shaving his face. Just because YOU shave yours doesn’t mean other women do. Anyone that finds your post helpful needs to grow up! Nobody’s telling your toddler to shave their pubes, except for you. The fact that you even thought of that makes you a little creepy in my book.
Um, hello?! It’s not the shaving kit that’s the problem, it’s the fact the box says “BIKINI BOTTOM SHAVING KIT” Did you not even notice that? God, give the writer some credit!
touche ;0
I agree with the writer of this post – it is a weird and inappropriate thing to call a children’s product. I certainly don’t understand why so many people feel the need to insult the writer on what is, after all, a pretty innocent observation!
I couldn’t even understand where you were getting this from. Bikini Bottom is where he LIVES. The package shows a kid shaving his face. Jesus, grow a few brain cells before posting.
YOU Grow some brain cells! You may watch Spongebob, but other ADULTS do not. Most people would NOT know that’s where he lives, and see “Bikini-bottom Groom & Go” as a bit perverse! I mean, who cares if children don’t get it? The name is still pretty effed!
Good Lord, people, get over yourselves. Do you read this site? Little bits of mockery and opinion about fluff all the time, and it’s called “The Gloss” for a reason–it’s not fucking CNN. The product is funny, and the name raises eyebrows a bit. In no way does that push for censorship or make the author a pervert for calling it a fail. Quit calling out the cavalry.
Naaaaw- it’s nice when little kids join competitions, dressed up like table dancers… Since the frenchies nuked the bikini atoll nobody knows that it is a landscape, so this bikini area shaving kit prepares the young american girls for their jobs when they’re grewn up. Let their parents fight for their right to buy such stuff. What about hello kittie lube jelly, strawberry tasty?
Whats’ next? Flintstone morning after pills?
Also a follow up to Goldie’s earlier comment that the name Bikini Bottom Groom & Go could easily pass as a ladies shave kit. Yea I agree that could easily pass as a ladies shave kit um except for that one thing what’ was it oh yea it’s got a picture of a little kid on the front and the words SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS on the front in big letters I mean come on people think before you speak I’m just sayin!
EXACTLY! THAT’S WHY IT’S FUCKING ON HERE MORON!!!!!!!
It’s insane that any of you idiots honestly think this package is inappropriately titled. Give me a break it’s a damn pretend shave kit people get your sick and twisted minds out of the gutter.If you even had the thought cross your mind that this was in any way perverted then you might be need to go get yourself checked out cuz there is most definitely something wrong with you. Like it’s been said several times on here little girls see their moms using makeup and they instinctively want to imitate them and the same thing goes for little boys when they see their dad shaving his face. Guys don’t bring their kid in with them and tell them hey buddy watch dad shave his privates now your try (SARACASM). My god it’s amazing how many stupid ignorant people we still have in this world makes me sick that anyone could ever come to any conclusion other than this being a cool little pretend shave kit for little kids grow up people and get a life!
Pubic hair refers to puberty, as in you don’t even have pubic hair until you’re probably far too old to be playing with this in the bath. Yes, I’m sure this post was done in jest and not in sincerity, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still rather stupid. May as well make the next post about toddlers being given “The Bottle” having something to do with drinking alcohol.
Dude….what kind of kids are you used to? A kid is NEVER going to think that the name of this product is gross or indecent and will NEVER think this is a pube shaving kit. Go wash your brain with soap. There are a lot of other news more worthy of opportunistic critique. Bikini Bottom does not refer to a bikini. Where have you been the last fifteen years?
on the packaging, Patrick is peeking at his package. just sayin’.
I highly doubt that A) there are any toddlers with pubes and B) this will be so deeply ingrained in the minds of toddlers that they will one day feel the need to shave their pubes.
You’re a quack! You liked putting makeup on because your mom was putting it on. Boys see their dads shaving and want to do it just like dad. This product is a pretend face shaving kit. Do you not see the boy pretend shaving on the box where it says Pretend to shave? It doesn’t say Pretend to shave your pubes.
Also, I don’t know about you ladies out there but when I “manscape” I don’t use a razor! Are you serious? I don’t want something that sharp anywhere near my balls!
It’s clearly tongue-in-cheek, which makes it almost funny, but I will admit that as a person with only a passing knowledge of SpongeBob, I did have a ‘wtf?’ moment when I saw the name.
