Makes history come alive, doesn’t it?

I always thought it was because they ate wood.

They were called "Merkins". You're welcome. I have no idea if they had a saying about a malfunctioning one.. like: "There be crabs lurkin' in her merkin!" Laundry time at the bordello would be pots of boiling soapy water with these little devices bobbing away. Imma stop now..

I can't believe no one posted this already lol

Merkins have been around since the 15th century. Today they are used mostly in movies for nude scenes.

Holy shit, this was such an outrageous thing that I actually had to look it up, and it’s called a merkin. And yes, it’s actually true. Bless your heart, because I love these weird little useless pieces of historical knowledge. My friends always get a kick out of this kind of stuff because I’m usually the one in the group who finds these weird truths from history and passes them along. Now I’ve got one more to add to the list. Thank you very much.

Wait what? I have survived over 50 Canadian winters and I could had a beaver pelt toupee to keep my undercarriage cozy????

Now I’m sitting here wondering how the ladies adhered the Merkin to their shaved bits?

Merkin. The word your looking for is merkin.

And shaving gave way to the camel toe, and in some cases the moose knuckle.

I don't care if this is true or not this is how I'm going to explain it from now on 😂

If it’s hairy, it’s for Gary.

Oh my god 🤦🏼🫪😂

OMG this made me laugh. Who Knew?????

Things I could have lived forever not knowing but now I do. And wow

😂

Frontier Welcome Mat.

Now how come they don't teach THIS stuff in history class? Guaranteed attention spans.

Even though I live in Virginia now, makes me proud to be a Canuck! Viva la beaver! 🦫 Brilliant! And thank you for something that I never knew.

I always thought it was because beavers eat wood 😅

Merkins. And supposedly they still use them in Hollywood to show something but still allow an actress to be covered by something. Though, somehow I doubt the modern ones are made from a beaver pelt. lol

Not many merkins were made from beaver. Origin of term is probably older besides.

Stfu right now !!! 🤣🤣🤣 There was never a pussy beaver troupe lmao You’re making that up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They are called a merkin

OMG, that’s so much information that I didn’t need to know, but I’m richer knowing 🤷🏼‍♂️

Beavers munch on wood 🤓

And there's again, more information I wish I didn't know. I used to be happy and then the internet happened. Seriously the information age can suck my dick.

I now know why my shaving brush keeps disappearing.

👍🤣🤣🤣

😆😆😆😆😆😂😆

I love culture.
