If you’re in the mood to try something new and eccentric, you can almost always count on TikTok for inspiration. So, the idea of vabbing is inserting clean fingers into your clean vagina and dabbing your vaginal fluids onto your pressure points (wrists, neck, and behind the ears), and using it as perfume.

This really comes down to personal preference. There are no hard and fast rules, but most people tend to have a separate hand towel in the bathroom for drying freshly washed hands. It also means any guests visiting your toilet don’t have to dry their hands on your bath towel. You might think your towel is fine because you only use it on your clean body but think again. Even your freshly washed skin can harbor germs and bacteria that will transfer to your towel when you dry your skin. Additionall...

If you recently took a peek down south and were surprised (to say the least) to see wrinkles, you're far from alone. Everyone has wrinkles there. Visible signs of aging, like crow's feet and gray hairs, are a common part of getting older. And just like the rest of your body, your vagina and vulva also change as you age. During your 40s and 50s, your body starts producing less estrogen as you enter perimenopause, the transitional period before menopause. Estrogen keeps vaginal collagen plump and ...

If there’s one thing that makes us envy men (apart from the fact that they don’t have to suffer period and labor pains), it’s the fact that they can stand and pee in public restrooms.

Have you ever been concerned about the way you smell... down there? There are few things more stressful than running to the bathroom thinking, "I can smell my discharge through my pants — can everyone else?!" If you think you caught a whiff of something funky down there, you might not be imagining it. Odor tends to come from sweat - the vulva and vagina have sweat glands, like elsewhere on your body. And the scent may change as our menstrual cycle progresses, in response to hormones, or at the e...

We love that we are bringing attention to vaginal health but this idea that your vagina is dirty and should smell like a flower or taste like fresh pineapples is ridiculous. We had a few listeners asking if the Lemme gummies are good for your vagina or are we being swindled? This product suggests that women need to smell a certain way—and that’s just not normal and could also lead you worrying about the smell of your own vagina, when it is completely normal. The vagina is actually a self-cleanin...

The stomach flu, which causes intense but sorta short episodes of vomiting and diarrhea — with or without a brief period of fever, chills, and body aches — is spreading rapidly. Seriously, wash your dang hands: Norovirus is primarily spread when traces of a sick person’s poop or vomit sneak into our mouths via our hands or food they’ve prepared. However, the virus also spreads through aerosols that hang around after someone pukes, so masking in public bathrooms is not the worst idea, either. In ...
