Kush infomercial makes everyone feel good

I guess it would be impossible to make a breast-support sleeping aid that doesn't look or sound dirty, but Kush Support certainly could have tried harder. For a guy, watching the infomercial is like biting into a York Peppermint Patty. Still, a product like this could actually be helpful. Even though it was invented to help women sleep better and/or prevent cleavage lines and wrinkles, it's good for pregnant women whose breasts have swelled, or for women who've just had them enlarged, because it separates them well enough to encourage proper spinal alignment. From an advertising standpoint, they should have focused more on that and less on the close-ups of the attractive models' cleavage, since the target audience is women for whom breasts are no longer thrilling. Failing that, they could direct viewers to the Web site, where more practical product details are given. I'll go away now and do some more research on this.

Or, ladies could go the Ultimo route – the bra that stands up to the punishment of a roller coaster: http://thedenveregotist.com/article/4477/the-ultimo.

If you're comparing infomercials, the Ultimo takes the cake.

The price includes shipping ... and HANDLING?

A remarkable piece of work.

Why buy one when every man (almost) on earth comes with one? Get a boyfriend. Get a kush.

I am a man and I use a cushion support between my knees when i sleep because....i am getting old and my knee are bony now, too bony for comfort when i sleep, so i know how these gals feel. Nice.

But wait...THERE'S MORE! Order today and get this handy accessory that turns your KUSH into a fully functioning dildo!

Please. This is a complete waste of time, and I can't believe people would actually buy this. Then again, if the 'snuggy' can gain market share, why not? Unbelievable.

I'm a large-breasted middle-aged woman and this is just ridiculous. All we need is a comfortable night-time bra, not some device inserted into our cleavage. Can some savvy designer out there just listen? If someone offered a soft, fitted bra that would provide support during the night and would look good under pajamas (as opposed to a large bulge swinging over the waist)then I can guarantee that company would make a fortune. It's not a big problem anyway, but hey - if people will buy a pet rock, they will buy anything. I enjoyed your comment, Kush Lover.

I just wish you could have seen my boyfriends face when I showed him this. He asked: Is this a problem? Niko is right...could also double as a dildo. Crazy.
