Preparation H Finds Place in Club Circuit
Men May Be Clueless About the Real Effects of the Ointment
By LAUREN COX
ABC Medical Unit
June 2, 2008

Of all the drugs young people can use at clubs, the latest trend in New York may be the least hip among all circles: Preparation H.

New York bouncer, blogger and author Rob Fitzgerald has noticed a trend among many of the macho young men waiting outside his clubs. He says the guys are slathering up their torsos with the hemorrhoid cream Preparation H to make themselves look "ripped" for the ladies.

Fitzgerald asked one of these guys to describe the practice for his blog, Clublife, "The way you use it is to take your shirt off and rub it all over yourself before you go to the club," a man who gave the alias, Peter Minichiello, says. "If you want to get [lucky], you have to know how to dance, and if you want girls to dance with you, you have to look ripped."

The idea is a bad imitation of a flab spot-treatment secret used by bodybuilders before a competition. But the clubbers who lube up may not like to hear what the medicine in Preparation H actually does to their frame or the real health risks it can pose.

To make my body looked "ripped", I'd have to smear a COSTCO-sized jar of Preparation H!

Would complement the Ben-Gay applied to my knees!

A friend at work was trying to get into the Navy but his BMI was a little but over acceptable for them so his recruiter told him off the clock what to do.

Prep H on the body and wrap yourself in Saran wrap to sweat it out. He lost 20 lbs in conjunction with working out and got in.

What I find funny is people say " I've lost ten lbs ooooo.".. yea.. 10 lbs of stored sugars the body keeps for emergencies. You've got tons more to go before that flab is gone.

of course I'm thin as a rail...

You dum-dum, the body stores excess sugar as fat. Losing 10 lbs of fat is losing 10 lbs of fat, not sugar.

Its your friend that had a bad method of weight loss. Sweating it out just dehydrates and weakens you.
