There's a video that came out today about the A-BALL. The A-BALL, developed by Polari Labs, is a product made from seaweed and hydrated collagen designed to replace traditional douching by acting as a barrier against feces during anal sex (1:53-2:06, 2:32-2:47). It is inserted before intimacy and designed to soften and be naturally expelled within 30 minutes to an hour (7:41-8:05, 12:01-12:25). The founders' future goals include conducting human trials next year and making the product widely available in pharmacies and supermarkets to eliminate shame and improve sexual health (6:15, 27:26-27:52). Would you try this?

If you have, what tips and recommendations do you have about how to navigate, negotiate, and get the best experience and value out of your money?
