A recent viral video has sparked debate over claims that a product called the “butt baby” enables trans women to simulate childbirth. The post, shared on YouTube under the title “The Butt Baby Hodgetwins react,” features a fake advertisement describing a prosthetic baby inserted into the rectum to “experience and celebrate the miracle of childbirth.”

The ad, which includes phrases like “trans woman can experience and celebrate the miracle of childbirth” and mentions of colors such as “Bushman of the Kalahari,” was presented as real in the video. However, investigations reveal discrepancies. The product in question, listed on ToysFromTim.com under the name “Bundle of Joy,” is described as a silicone toy for “big insertions,” with no reference to trans women or childbirth in its official details.

LeadStories, a fact-checking site, confirmed the ad’s claims are misrepresented. The product page states it is designed for “first-hand the joy and agony of childbirth” but does not specify any demographic or purpose tied to trans individuals. A screenshot from the video shows a logo linked to “Treasure Island Media,” though no such connection exists on the ToysFromTim website.

The Hodgetwins, who uploaded the video, initially claimed the product was real but later faced scrutiny over the authenticity of the ad. While the video’s creator suggested the toy could “surprise your parents with the grandson they’ve always wanted,” official sources confirm the item is marketed as a novelty sex toy, not a medical or reproductive device.

The controversy highlights how misinformation can spread rapidly online, blurring lines between satire, propaganda, and reality.
