Ever since we posted the cute strap on crotchet penis and oneflewtoofar commented on its origin, I became even more curious. I mean, they mentioned there was a set of boobs too. How could you not be interested?!

Even tho they’re flat as pancakes (as opposed to long saggy mom boobs, which I affectionately call oranges in tennis socks.) (Or beaver tails.) they’re pretty damn cute.

I believe there may even be a nipple ring on that left one.

But! Not only are these HILARIOUS! and CUTE! they also serve a purpose. Boobs and Dinks were created by Shannon Gerard as a means to bring forth the importance of Self Detection.

(finger dinks)

On Shannon’s site she describes them perfectly.

These plush crocheted breasts and penises have little lumps sewn inside that can be found by following instructions in the accompanying booklets. The booklets also teach you how to perform monthly self-examinations of your own precious privates!

Using the softness and humour of these BOOBS AND DINKS, I hope to eliminate some of the fear surrounding monthly exams and encourage people to check themselves often. Breast and testicular cancers are both treatable and often curable, if you find the problem early enough.

So thank you to oneflewtoofar for letting us know about Shannon.

And to Shannon: thank you for doing what you’re doing.

Not to mention, props for being a local gal! T-dot represent!

I think I may order my boys a couple dinks.

Because it’s not like I don’t have enough dink in this house already.

But! Remember: Just because they actually serve a purpose doesn’t mean they can’t be a Craftastrophe! Because we’re all about Teh Funneh and the Creative too!

Head on over to Shannon’s site and grab some boobs and dinks.

P.S. Every time I try and type “crocheted” I write “crotched”. Not that it’s entirely wrong, but still: wrong.
