Do you know there is a vagina beauty contest in some country out there, where people actually vote for the prettiest vagina? Seriously! After some major eye-rolling, we are sure you are going to wonder, how your hoo haa looks like and if you can do something to make it pretty. But please ladies, you really don’t have to go about trying out beauty methods right now, and if you are doing these things to your down under, then stop ASAP! Like right now.
Steam it
Recently Gwyneth Paltrow said that steaming your vagina is really good for you, but you know what? It’s not! The steam doesn’t balance your pH levels or anything and neither does it help with the hormones. Instead the steam enters your uterus which is not healthy. So stop.
Piercings
They might make your hoo haa look pretty but a little snag and chances are it’s going to tear your flesh apart. It can even go septic if not done properly so you can kiss sex goodbye.
Sticking up anything unsanitised up there
Well women masturbate and that is the universal fact. But when doing the deed, don’t go ahead and stick anything up there, which even involves unsanitised fingers. So next time anything which goes in there needs to be washed properly or say hello to diseases.
Putting food up there
Every lady wants her man to make a trip downtown and give her a big O with just his tongue. So to sweeten the deal, many a times women opt for things like maple syrup or chocolate sauce. But guess what, if not washed properly, bacteria can grow in the place and give you some serious infections.
Using substitutes for lube
During sex when you want to use lube, just use lube and not substitutes like Vaseline, lotion or even baby oil. Oil-based lubricants are thicker and harder to wash out, leaving you susceptible to bad bacteria. The oil can also break down at a later time, and ruin a latex condom, leaving you susceptible to pregnancy or STDs.
Using hair removal cream down there
Waxing sounds super painful and using a hair removal cream oh-so-easy, but the painless way can be scary as well. The hair removal cream contains harsh chemicals and can lead to abrasions in the vaginal area.
Cleaning with scented soaps
Ladies, when you want to clean your Vjjj, then use the unscented, non-alcoholic soaps available specifically for the lady parts. In any case, your vagina believes in self cleaning and cleans it up without you doing anything. The scented soaps contain harmful chemicals and alcohol which need to be kept far far away from down under.
Douching
It is really bad for your vagina because as mentioned before, your vagina is self cleaning. Douching cleans it too much and also dries it out. Also the water going inside your hoo haa can increase the changes of infection as well.
