Pussy pipes are, as the name probably suggests, smoking pipes designed to look like vulvae.
Caitlin, a 38-year-old queer woman living in Brooklyn with her partner and two small dogs is and artist who has been working with ceramics and textiles since the mid 90s, but recently she’s been getting loads of online attention for her snazzy range of pussy pipes.
‘I started making pipes a little over a year ago, first it was one hitters and the woman symbol shaped pipes. A friend approached me to make a pussy pipe for a gift for a mutual friend. This friend has a really amazing pussy with long fancy lips. After I made the first pipe I shared it on social media and the response was overwhelmingly positive.’
And so Caitlin went into production, hand-crafting pussy pipes in a diverse range of tones and designs.
Caitlin explains that the pipes are all about celebrating the human body, allowing people to consume substances that make their bodies feel good through something that embraces the beauty of the vagina.
‘Pussy pipes are not going to save the world,’ says Caitlin, ‘but they help bad girls, feminists, queers, and those who love us feel better during these troubling times. I have a lot of concerns about feminism reliance on pussy imagery because it can be reductive and alienating to some trans people, like not all women have pussies. But considering how hostile this world is to pussies, femmes, women, queers, etc this is my way to combat misogyny. Here is the USA we are watching a violent attack on reproductive health, women’s bodies, and body autonomy. Pussy pipes are here for people to enjoy and celebrate pussy!’
