   Good morning, it's time for another cursed patent! And guess what, this one is yet another overengineered douche. Meet the Instrument For Treating the Vagina and Uterus, patented by Christopher C. Parker in 1883.

     And the thing is, Christopher C. Parker, in his patent documentation, at no point explains why one might possibly *need* to use such a doohickey. That's how utterly unnecessary yet thoroughly cursed that this gadget is.

     The patent office loved it though, and appreciated the novelty of a douche-speculum hybrid.

     The aim of the cup is to either keep whatever is being sprayed up the vagina out of the cervix, or to intensively spray the stuff into the uterus. It's a multipurpose overengineered douche.

     The purpose of the speculum-style arms is to un-wrinkle the vaginal walls for optimal douching power.

     We hope we don't need to tell you that the vagina needs absolutely NONE of these interventions, and that sounds uncomfortable as hell.

     To be clear, Parker's instrument is not merely an overengineered douche. It's what would happen if a douche and a speculum had an irresponsible one night stand and made a very, very horrible baby together.

     The way it works is that it goes into the vagina. The little cup on the top suctions onto the cervix, and the arms shift up and open up the vagina a little more.
