In the bottom right corner of the image, there is a black line drawing of two women with 1950s hairstyles whispering to each other against a light blue background. In the upper left corner, there is a speech bubble. Inside the speech bubble, there is an image of the Iroha Plus Tori, a dark red, teardrop-shaped sex toy with a convex side and a concave side. The concave side has small ridges.
