- Adulthood is hard.
- We have to worry about things like making money.
- Conflict resolution.
- And remaining,
- [All] Professional.
- When did this all happen?
- Sometimes we wish we could just go back to being a kid.
- Well today, we're going back.
We're going all the way back.
- It's "Ladylike", and today,
we are retreating into the womb.
So you may be asking yourselves,
"Why is Devin dragging a sleeping bag into frame?"
- Are we napping?
- That's because I'm trying to recreate a womb
with $300 budget and a dream.
- [Devin] Are you ready to be born?
- Eew, camping!
- I'm triggered.
- I will become a camping mermaid.
♪ I wanna be where the AC is ♪
- I couldn't find a pink sleeping bag on Amazon.
Not one that could arrive in three days.
I'm doing the best I can, you guys.
I wanna just say this off the bat.
So I saw this video on YouTube,
where the Dolan twins went back to the womb,
and they went back to the womb to kind of rediscover
their relationship to each other,
and they actually built a womb,
and I thought that was really funny.
However, I have different reasons for going back
to the womb and dragging everyone on "Ladylike"
to go back to the womb with me.
I want to revert back to babyhood.
I just want to take a time out from my daily
responsibilities and be coddled.
- On a scale of one to baby, I'm probably like a six.
- Well, I'm a Gemini, so I'm both Mommy and baby.
- I'm like a six and a half baby.
- A woman doesn't have to settle for being just Mommy.
She can also be baby, or even Daddy.
- I'm actually not very baby.
I'd say I'm like a two or a three.
- So in doing the research for this video,
I kind of looked into flotation therapy,
'cause that seems like the easiest way to create
a womb-like experience.
I mean, certainly we can try to actually you know,
brick and mortar this womb, like build it on site.
But that's hard, and I don't think any of the gals
in "Ladylike" wanna do that.
So, instead, I decided to recreate the womb
by trying flotation therapy, which seems like pretty close.
- Flotation therapy is a complete way to disconnect
from all of the sensory input
that your body is experiencing.
So literally, what it is, is you're floating in about
11 inches of water, and 1300 pounds of Epsom salt,
and there's no light and no sound.
So the real similarities between a float tank
and the womb would be that both environments
are dark, and warm, and wet, and buoyant (chuckles).
- That's interesting and could probably be really like
refreshing and you exit the makeshift womb
very rejuvenated, and like I think it's also probably
pretty meditative.
- I feel like I might feel a little confined,
and a little worried about salt water.
What if you get it in your eye?
And maybe a little hot, is it hot?
I don't like being hot.
This is hot as hell.
The womb is warm.
- [Devin] Oh no, Kristin's being born!
- I'm being born.
Eew.
- I don't know whether or not lights off
would freak me out.
I supposed we can find out.
I do like a night light.
- Are you naked?
- [Devin] You can be.
- Okay, listen, this sounds like it's gonna be a spa
experience, and you know what I love?
Luxury.
- We're at Just Float in Pasadena.
- And we're about to just float.
- We're about to be root beer floats.
- I think I'm gonna be very relaxed during this.
I don't think Kristin's gonna be very relaxed.
- I'm a very high strung person, and I've just been told
that I will be alone with my thoughts and heartbeat.
- This is just what you need then.
- It's gonna be like a really short road trip
with my two worst enemies!
- I probably will have the lights on a little bit,
'cause I get nervous in the dark and water.
I think it'll be great.
- Yeah, I'm afraid of the dark, straight up.
Like when Pat's not home, I sleep with all the lights on.
- I feel like if you could spend all your time in the pool
or in the ocean, you'd be happy.
- That's true.
I think right now I'm very baby.
- You're very baby. - I'm being very baby
about this.
- Today, I'm feeling probably a little less baby,
maybe like a five.
But after watching the video,
I didn't realize that's what it was.
- What did you think it was?
(laughing)
- I didn't realize I'd be floating on my back,
and I told you about my floating issues.
- Oh. - I just like have never
been able to float.
People are like, "But the beach water's so salty,
"you float so easy."
And I'm like, "No, not for me."
- Fred, are you ready?
- I'm ready I think.
- I've just shut the door on my suite,
and honestly, I'm already like a little freaked out.
I am a little claustrophobic.
I'm also afraid of the dark.
- First things first.
I kinda think it just looks like a shower.
But then you see this like suspicious door.
- It's really cool.
Got a bathrobe, got a nice shower.
Gotta clean off before and afterwards.
- Okay, so I have my swim cap on.
This is a great swim cap, it's so big,
so what I like about this experience
is that it's black girl hair friendly.
- It's very humid in here.
It's definitely setting the vibe for like crawling back
up into a uterus.
I think the womb probably is just kind of like loud.
- Very warm, very relaxing.
- It's not just water, it's like a thicker substance.
It's more of like a jelly.
- [Mike] And this is gonna be where I'm floating
for the next hour.
- Let's get naked.
- All right, shower done.
Now we're gonna start the float.
- [Freddie] Feels good in here.
- [Kristin] Here we go.
Oh my God, it's really dark in here.
Ooh.
I'm discovering cuts I did not realize I had.
Oh my gosh, okay.
All right, all right, all right.
You can do this, you can do this,
you can do this, you can do this.
- [Mike] When I first got in here,
the lights shut all off and I got a little bit anxious.
But I figured how to turn them back on,
so crisis averted.
I'm gonna stop vlogging now, so I can fully immerse
myself in this.
- [Kristin] Oh my gosh, so dark in here.
Really sorry Mike, probably can hear me yelling in here.
- [Mike] I don't think I've ever felt anything
like this before.
This weightlessness is crazy.
- [Kristin] You can't see it but my (bleep)
are like two little icebergs.
Wow, I can really feel that cut on my toe right now.
Oh, and I'm bouncing off of one side.
And now I'm bouncing off the other side.
I have no idea what's happening.
And there's my stomach.
(gentle music)
(snoring)
- The lights just came back on, so I guess my hour is over.
- Even though I like, fussed and fidgeted,
for like, 45 minutes of it,
but like the last 15 minutes I actually was pretty relaxed.
Was actually kinda sad when the lights came on.
I was doing pretty good there.
Oh, am I still wearing the halo thing?
- I don't know if I can get out.
I don't know if I can stand up.
I've never experienced anything like that.
- I forgot to vlog.
We'll reenact the experience.
I guess I can't.
Looks like they're about to clean the tub.
- [Freddie] That was nuts.
- It was great, that's all you need to know.
I still have the toilet seat cushion on my head.
This is the process of me being born right now.
I'm literally crawling out of the tank.
Oh wow, you guys, that float session.
- Babies!
(laughing)
- We were born!
How was your womb?
- I loved it, honestly, the first half an hour,
I was like, "This is so boring, I hate this."
It's so hard to relax.
It's honestly just almost impossible.
Gosh, it's really hard for me to get used to this.
It's really hard to get used to this.
And then when I like finally got settled into it,
I was just like, this is amazing,
and I never want to leave.
- I'm so impressed that you had a good experience though
Kristin, 'cause you were the most nervous.
- It took a long time.
- I kind of settled into it pretty quickly.
Also, remember I was like so skeptical
of like being able to float,
because that's just never a thing
that I've been able to do.
My body just won't do it.
1300 pounds of Epsom salt truly did the trick.
Like I was just like buoying away.
I was so relaxed, I definitely was like, wow.
I see why babies cry when they leave the womb,
'cause it's sad.
- It is sad.
I had this experience where I was chill the first
30 minutes and then I kept thinking that my tank
was broken, and that I wasn't gonna be alerted
that it was the end of the session,
so I thought I was just gonna float on forever.
- Yeah.
- And then I got that modest mouse song in my head,
where it was like, "Float on", I can't sing it,
but you know, so, it was just like the last 30 minutes
was me thinking about am I here forever
and the modest mouse song.
- I'm just gonna say, I know that there's a weird ring
around my forehead, it's because I was wearing
a sexy men's Halloween costume right before this.
Anyway, moving on.
- How was your sesh?
- I was amazed at how effortless it was.
I did get a little bored for parts during it,
I was just like, "Well, I'm here and that's
"what's going on."
Oh also, at first I was afraid of the dark,
so I kept the lights on, and then about a third
of the way through, I turned the lights off.
- I kept the lights on the entire time.
- I turned them off immediately.
That was because I was talking a lot into the GoPro,
and I realized that like, I wanted to minimize the amount
of like boob footage that exists.
So I was like, if the lights are dark,
I can just scream.
- Kristin, you should say about the shot that you
accidentally--
- Oh, no! (laughing)
I was trying to situate it so that no-one would see
the top goodies or like the bottom goodies
while I was floating, and so I like,
situated the camera like on the rail,
and then I did this.
(sexy saxophone music)
(laughing)
And after I was done, it was like, well...
- That is the birth position.
- Yeah, I definitely, I gave birth to my own porno.
(laughing)
- And then also, I found it really weird,
like my eyes were closed, and I had a hard time
realizing where I was.
Like there would be certain moments where I would open
my eyes again, and I would be like,
"Wait, how did I end up over here?"
Like it was like that kind of weird thing,
but I feel like that's sort of just
how it must be in the womb.
- So going back to the womb,
it actually proved kind of useful.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- So returning to the womb, lady tested,
- [All] Lady rested.
- Gonna sleep like a baby.
- Can I get more of them for free?
(laughing)
