This story posted by u/throwraonecleanpeach to r/relationship_advice is extremely suspicious to me because it adds to the pantheon of weird Reddit stories about people doing strange things with their poop. It basically hits all of the fan-favorite themes: poop (of course), strange hygiene habits, and a hapless man who doesn’t understand menstruation. It was designed to pop off online, and it did, making it to the Twitter account @redditships.
“My girlfriend who is a beautiful person recently moved in with me after two years of dating,” it begins. The OP says this is the most he’s been around his gal in two years and he’s noticed something strange. He says that at one point he saw some Magic Erasers in her purse, which are a cleaning sponge. He was so suspicious about what she was doing with them he “purposely spilled a beer on the floor to see” if she’d use one. She didn’t.
So now she lives with me. And I can’t help but notice that there’s a stack of magic erasers in the cabinet under the sink. Like way more magic erasers than anybody would ever need unless of course they were wiping their ass with them.
To be fair she does keep the bathroom pristine–but her body is pristine as well, so you see the problem. It’s maddening. I even left a tiny dot on the toilet paper in the bathroom to see if she’s used it and it hasn’t moved a centimeter–all this while the magic eraser stash under the cabinet steadily depletes.
I mean what the f–k do I do. This sounds like insanity. But the truth is right in front of my eyes. What do I say to her? Is a woman’s personal hygiene something I should even talk about? I wish I had a magic eraser for this whole sh–ty situation.
People were very skeptical about this story from the jump, because the combination of chemicals and abrasion would mess anyone up down there pretty bad:
What on earth would compel someone to even try this

He…presumably has sex with her. If she’s doing that then you’re going to notice. That would mess your skin up and make sex uncomfortable. I don’t know what she’s doing with them but I doubt it’s what he thinks.

type of sponge used for cleaning that’s like made of this abrasive detergent foam (??? magic) and as you use it it breaks down but it also cleans anything like you could wipe the inside of a heavily tea stained cup w it one time and it would instantly be shining spotless again pic.twitter.com/9lrZcnNL9i

I’ve never used a magic eraser but I thought they were abrasive & also have cleaning chemicals in them? Wouldn’t that burn? Wouldn’t it also cause visible damage? I just Googled & your not supposed to use it on marble bc it can scratch your assh*le is a LOT softer than marble.

Is she… flushing them down the toilet? Because that’s gunna cause a clog. I am almost certain.
And I’m not a hundo on this, but like, that’s got to be bad for her poor buttle. Right? RIGHT???

I’ve read the MSDS for Magic Erasers and you’re really not supposed to use them without gloves and if it gets on your skin you’re to rinse immediately & see a doctor if irritation occurs. This can’t be healthy. But idk, I’d be too anxious to say anything to her 😂

And then an update clarified things a bit. Someone finally asked if the “Magic Erasers” were actually just pads for his girlfriend’s period. He insisted, “No, they are sanitary napkins.”
Mystery solved! Or big troll comes to its conclusion. If this is real, I think more than anything it illustrates how we should sometimes just ask our loved ones what is going on when we are confused. or mind our business, as long as the toilet isn’t clogged. Some privacy can be healthy.
