The HanaHana Nose Stretcher is not for the beauty faint of heart. I always thought that Brazilian bikini waxes and Botox were marks of the beauty brave, but there needs to be a whole new category for those who try the HanaHana Nose Stretcher. This Japanese nose stretcher (does anyone else think this sounds like a form of torture?) is basically a super-strong pink clothespin. This contraption works by clamping it over your nostrils for a few minutes every day, and apparently the extreme pressure exerted over the cartilage stretches your nose out—a look coveted by girls who think their nose it too flat or “button-like.” I have no current plans to do a beauty test drive on this product, but for $7 you can try it and let me know how it turns out.
I pass no judgment on people’s beauty routines (I will take mine to the grave). If using a product designed for one of your “problem areas” makes you happy, then The Frisky is certainly not going to burst your bubble. Sure, The HanaHana Nose Stretcher is an arm and a leg cheaper than a nose job, but the real question surrounding the nose stretcher actually boils down to two questions: how and why? How does stretching your cartilage do anything other than give you flabby and flappy nostrils. And why, why in the world would you put a pink hair clothespin on your nose?

As an Asian American female,I have seen firsthand the obsession some Asian women have with wanting Caucasian traits. The funny thing is there are a good bit of Caucasian women who covet the Asian look- or features that are stereotypically Asian. Seeing these #&@$% contraptions make me wanna break someone’s nose for using it. Embrace you exotic traits, Asian ladies!

My mom has that little, cute button nose, whereas I got the higher nose bridge, longer nose look. I actually envy her! I wish I could make my nose take up less of my face. I have read studies that stipulated that the longer your nose bridge, the less fat your eyes retain. People with this trait tend to age worse. That means ME!

This, believe it or not, “beauty technique” can be traced back to more than 100 years ago when it was described by Louisa May Alcott in “Little Women.” Youngest sister Amy wanted this look and slept with a clothes pin (you know, the type for hanging laundry to dry) clamped to the tip of her nose. I think that the latest movie version in the late 90’s shows a very young Kirstin Dunst as Amy demonstrating this unusual “look.”

the japanese and their stretching devices…. ive yet to see one for the penis, although stretching the nose and neck is of such importance?
