Thai women massively bleach their private parts (video)
In Thailand a pale complexion equals status, prosperity and success. A new successful product that whitens women's intimate areas "within four weeks" has sparked the beauty debate in the Southeast Asian country. Some of those products contain mercury and are downright dangerous.
Products that whiten the face, body and armpits have been available on the Thai market for some time. Pills and nutritional supplements promise to do what cosmetic products cannot. Recently, the Thai market has been flooded with vaginal bleaches.
Clear and translucent
In advertisements on television, radio and the internet, a woman with pale skin and tight jeans rummages through her wardrobe. “Every woman wants to look good, but shorts make your skin darker.” The camera then zooms in on her new outfit, white shorts. The commentary states that Lactacyd White Intimate makes the skin in that zone "clear and translucent".
More attractive?
The launch of a similar product in India earlier this year drew international criticism after a TV spot insinuated that women with paler vaginas are more attractive to men. In Thailand, on the other hand, such products are a great success. "The products have evolved from facial whiteners to deodorants and lotions that whiten the armpits," says a spokesman for Publicis Thailand, who make the commercials. “Now there is also a range of intimate toilet products with a whitening effect, because research showed that women were waiting for such products”.
Work in rice fields
In many countries in Southeast Asia, pale skin is associated with the upper class. After all, pale skin means you don't spend your days in the rice fields. The Thai language is also peppered with derogatory expressions about dark skin. Today, women who work in the rice fields wear long sleeves, long pants, hats and gloves. According to the agency behind Nivea's whitening products, it is precisely those women who buy such products.
With pale Korean and Japanese pop stars on the bill, women's magazines in Thailand are full of pale-skinned Asian women touting such products with slogans such as "Show your aura" or "Learn the miracle of white skin."
White-skinned actors and singers dominate the media. The bleaching industry in Asia is expected to reach $XNUMX billion in sales this year.
Health hazard
The other side of the coin is that many of these products pose a health risk. Components such as hydroquinone and lead can lead to permanent skin discoloration and kidney damage. Some products on the market are downright illegal.
But it doesn't stop there. Men will also have to adapt to the new trend and apply products that make their skin paler.
Young and fresh
Future variants of Lactacyd White Intimate will also fight the aging process and promise to keep you fresh and young "down under".

Well, what to say? Seems a bit over the top to me? I've already written about it: https://www.thailandblog.nl/maatschappij/huidskleur-obsessie-thaise-vrouwen/
It seems like a national obsession…
Human history shows that the obsession with skin color, which I find incomprehensible and ridiculous, is truly international. The same goes for the uncertainty of many men and women about their private parts, including breasts. This is not at all typical for Thailand or Asia and I am not surprised.
But all too true. In Thailand, a paler skin color means that you don't have to work in the rice fields, and in Northern Europe they go under the tanning bed because it makes you look like you can afford a holiday or look "healthier" in many eyes (while the sun is not healthy at all).
Isn't it true that in the past white people, including the Netherlands, were the upper class and the tanned ones were many of the workers who were seen as the lower class, now it is the other way around brown instead of white, the richer one who goes on holiday and lies in the sun? baking
very unfortunate, soon the beautiful "race" of the beautiful somewhat dark woman from Thailand will no longer exist, while that is just so terribly beautiful. Extinct. Incomprehensible girls!!!!
Rudy don't worry.
In a few hundred years you will return as a woman, then there will only be 1 race left.
All this mixed with Martians and Pluto females, we dance on the moon.
Would they also bleach all those hairs, I suddenly wonder?
Hey Pete, when did you leave home? Some hair, bald is the fashion. Hahahahaha
There is an error in this article. The editors write, nowadays women who wear the
paddy fields work long sleeves, long pants, hats and gloves. As far as I know this has always been the case. They don't wear these clothes because they have whiter skin
want to keep color, but to protect against the heat.
In Africa people do the same.
@jochum, I don't know if this is correct regarding Africa. Have lived in Ghana myself and have never seen farm workers with long gloves, etc. I just noticed that they left a relatively large amount of skin open for the sun. At the factory we built, we saw workers without t-shirts because of the heat. So I can only speak about Ghana from my own experience, I cannot say anything about the rest of the African continent.
Cu Chulain,
Have sailed for 10 years, also to Africa. What struck me was that the dock workers protected themselves as much as possible against the sun. Most always wore a hat.
In South Africa they even stood in the cargo hold with a clothed upper body in the holds.
@Jochum, as I said, I can't speak for the rest of Africa, but I noticed that those construction workers with us were often working bare-chested in the hot sun. This was in Ghana. Apparently this varies from region to region.
Actually not strange. Conversely, many Dutch people also have that delusion that tanned skin looks and is healthy. Despite an increase in skin cancer cases, many Dutch people walk down the doors of tanning salons in winter and many pensioners stay in Spain or in other sunny places, including Thailand, and will try to sit in the sun every minute of the day to get a tanned, get healthy skin. In the West, the reverse is the case. The tanned Dutchman is the one who no longer has to work, for whatever reason, and therefore fills his life with holidays and sunbathing. The “white” Dutchman is the one who has to work harder and harder for an ever-decreasing purchasing power, due to takeovers and mass layoffs. When I see another tanned pensioner driving around in a convertible, I immediately know that he is doing better financially.
Living in Thailand is a dream for many in NL.
Away from those rules and all those other irritating things around you.
Forever brown instead of alone on your holiday.
On to Bangkok with a one way ticket and the money from your old sock .
Then you meet the white farts who have been before you,
The question arises, why are you not brown?
That answer comes up later on its own, that tourist is clearly recognisable, fiercely burned ready to show their friends how rich they are to be brown in the winter.
The expat turns out to be a rheumatism patient, freed from all pain.
His now Thai white skin gives respect not to be too dark .
Moderator: Removed the last sentences, no idea what you mean.
Some of those bleached "example" models look like warmed-up corpses.
Completely unnatural!
