not that there aren't shrink creams, just that there isn't the same amount of spam as the push for Big Dicks.
Here's what the incomparable Violet Blue says about them (on her "safe sex" page, if you are not reading your Violet Blue - shame on you - here 'tis:

No one knows if "Shrink Creams" can hurt you. Widely available "shrink creams", "sure grip", "tighten up" and "feel like a virgin again" claim to make the vagina smaller or tighter. The key ingredient in these creams is alum. Alum absorbs water out of the outer layer of the skin; as more water is absorbed, the cells begin to swell, closing the ducts that water would normally flow through. No study has been done on the effect of these creams on the cervix, which is what they eventually end up getting rubbed on during penetration, but I'll wager it's not good. I kind of want to make the manufacturers snort a thick rail of alum, so they can study the effects on their own mucous membranes. What I really hate about these "shrink" creams is the fact that they're trading on female insecurities about the vagina not being tight, pretty or good enough for their male partner -- like we need any negative reinforcement from our pussy-phobic culture about how we look, feel or smell down there. The marketing text runs, "China Shrink Cream is formulated to tighten the vaginal walls. China Shrink Cream is to help with loose vagina due to multiple child birth and frigidity." I also want to throw up every time I see the packaging on these creams, as they are often called "oriental" or "China Shrink Cream", paralying off of racist stereotypes and exotifying Asian "sexual mystery", much the same way the porn industry fetishizes skin color and markets (I think racist) negative stereotypes about black male sexuality with its "interracial" videos.
