Vagina MuseumFeb 19

For the last few days, our lift has been out of order because it made a very scary noise. We are pleased to report that we are once again fully flat access to all galleries with a lift in full working order.

It turned out, the lift needed lube. The moral of the story is lube is IMPORTANT.

Please note that vaginas do not typically make a scary noise when they need lube.

Please also note that WD40 is a great lube for lifts, but should never be applied to a vagina.

And vice versa, we suppose. A nice body safe water-based lube probably wouldn't do the lift much good.

All giggles aside, just a reminder that the Vagina Museum has flat access to all public areas. You can learn more about accessibility for mobility, sensory, visual and D/deaf access here https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/accessibility

@vagina_museum As a gay man I really don't have much interest in vaginas - though I'm sure they're very nice. But I absolutely love your updates and the fact that you exist.

I can't help thinking a penis museum would probably be a lot less interesting. I like dick, but it's not really something I need education about. I mean, I *have* one.

There is a penis museum, although not with so great an online presence as the @vagina_museum:

@vagina_museum WD40 is an excellent water displacer and rust loosener, but is a terrible lubricant.

Please ensure a suitable grease is applied to prevent further binding or excess friction - likely lithium, silicon or molybdenum grease if the surfaces are slightly damaged. Please consult the lift manufacturer's manual for appropriate recommendation.

Unfortunately water based or silicone based are not suitable for elevators, regardless of the rise you can get out of them or how fun they are to ride.

@vagina_museum but WD-40 is penetration oil, not lube. WD stands for "water displacement"

@vagina_museum I did accidentlally pour about a litre of lemonade down a lift-shaft last weekend from an exploding bottle, and I can report that it seems not to a recommendable combination either.

@mahryekuh @vagina_museum It was all a bit sweet smelling and sticky, dripping from one level to the next, and took more paper towels to mop up than I had available ... and I had to rush off and supervise students without cleaning up fully.

Sounds like it ought to be part of a raunchy novel...

Show threadMarijke LuttekesFeb 19

@EarthOrgUK @vagina_museum But why the exploding bottle? Was it carbonated?

Edit: Also yes, from the notification preview I thought we were getting a whole different type of story. 😂

Lemonade in the UK is usually carbonated yes. I still think this story is missing some essential details though.

Show threadEarth NotesFeb 19

@mahryekuh @vagina_museum I was pushing a small trolley full of snacks and drinks between floors to fuel the students. As I emerged from the lift doors on the higher floor, a 2l bottle of carbonated lemonade made a bid for freedom, slipped out of the trolley, its top came off, and contents gushed* into the gap between the lift and the shaft before I could catch it and stop it...

Nah! Though a couple of students did witness the event and oo-ed and ar-ed sufficiently to fluff my ego...

@vagina_museum I recall from high school a friend's brother had a squeaky tape player and resolved it with with his dad's girlfriend's strawberry lube. Probably wouldn't help the lift tho.

@vagina_museum As a general note, WD40 isn't a really good permanent solution to any lubrication needs. But people love the instant relief and then continue spraying the same part over and over again.

WD40 is also my nemesis in pinball machines mechanisms, that are intended to run dry.

Show threadMarijke LuttekesFeb 19
@vagina_museum WD40 is also highly flammable, which is probably not the “hot date” you were waiting for.
