The site name says it all: Who could ask for more?

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that although this site promises "yucky," it's really not all that bad. Both bugs and bodily fluids fascinate kids and this site delivers. Families who visit it will come away with a new appreciation of worms, roaches, and the mysterious (and often noisy) workings of the human body. There are no ads.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about how many of the things we think are "gross" are actually very normal and serve an important function in the body. Parents of tweens and teens can talk about how advertising can make us feel embarrassed about sweating, getting zits, and other normal changes that occur during puberty. Which companies make money off of our embarrassment?

Is it any good?

Kids will love giggling at this yucky but harmless site.

Uhhh...GROSS!!
This IS gross ! Hello ? I'm a girly girl...this was not my kind of entertainment. This is offically the yuckiest site, I clicked on the human body thing....and trust me if you didn't like to learn about growth and development at school, (because i know i didn't) then don't click that link! EHMAGOSH! And there are very very very detailed sentances about poop and pee, and earwax. Ohkay, first of all, just don't even go onto the website ohkay? Its just N-A-S-T-Y! *shudders*
