It might be hard to admit for some, but pimple-popping can be a secretly enjoyable activity.
Realizing this guilty pleasure, Billy and Summer Pierce, a husband-and-wife team, developed a toy called POP iT PAL.
“Make no mistake about it. We love that disgusting little habit nobody likes to talk about. Yup, it is our unique obsession,” writes Billy on POP iT PAL’s website.

The toy, described as a novelty pimple-popping toy, is made of silicone and even comes with pus made from natural ingredients.
Available at US$19.99, POP iT PAL comes in two colors, peach and brown. It also has bottles of refillable pimple pus for sale, ensuring you have a never-ending pimple-popping experience.
However, POP iT PAL is not only about fun, as a portion of every sale will be donated to charities that support kindness and the antibullying movement. (kes)
