A ping pong show (Thai: โชว์ปิงปอง) is a form of stage entertainment that takes place in strip clubs.
It is a type of sex show in which women use their pelvic muscles to either hold, eject, or blow objects from their vaginal cavity.
The show has been popular in Southeast Asia (particularly Bangkok, Thailand) for several decades, and is primarily performed for foreign tourists.

Bien-Aime commented: "Working 14 hours [a day] in a factory or blowing ping pong balls out of your vagina should not be a person's only choices in life.
