Maxi Pad Sex Toys & Lesbian Love! 11 Jaw-Dropping Secrets From Teresa Giudice’s Prison Memoir

Teresa Giudice’s 11 months in prison seem even more dramatic than Orange Is The New Black, according to her memoir. From maggots to maxi pad sex toys (seriously!) to lesbian sex, click through to read the most shocking secrets from her book, Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again, detailing her time in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut.

The 43-year-old was subjected to a strip search during her first moments in person, being forced to squat and cough while naked. "I have never felt more vulnerable in my life," she said.

Giudice said she missed life’s luxuries but found new uses for household items, like feminine products! The Real Housewives of New Jersey star said inmates used maxi-pads as face masks, makeup removers, slippers and cleaning rags.

Teresa even once herself used a pad to clean her cell! "I laughed the first time I wiped down the floor and my locker with a maxi pad,” she said. “I couldn't help but think, if only everyone could see me now."

So. Much. Sex! Teresa’s cell nickname became known as the “Boom Boom Room” because “the ladies were getting it on so much.”

However, Teresa said she never engaged in any lesbian sexual activity though it was all around her! “I could see two women … writhing around … I cannot believe this is happening!”

No getting it on with her husband, Joe Giudice, either! Teresa said she never had a conjugal visit with her hubby, despite loads of cheating rumors while she was behind bars. "I think that'd be kind of weird," she said. "Just not the right setting, you know?"

Paying for pampering! One thing she did engage in was spa services with her inmates, whom she paid with chips, Diet Coke, mascara and shampoo. She also got hair, makeup, nails and massages on the regular.

For money, the reality star worked in the kitchen where she made 12 cents an hour wiping down tables in the dining room.
