Inserting UFOs (unsanitary foreign objects) seems like a good idea until it doesn’t.
If you’re sexually active I believe you have a pretty good idea what goes in your vagina and what doesn’t. You’re allowed to insert tampons, fingers, sex toys, a penis, lube, birth control, menstrual cups—and nothing more. Leave the experiments for some other area of your body and leave your vagina alone. It may seem like cucumbers, bananas and that phallic-looking device in your kitchen could fit just right in, but no matter how much you disinfect it they can still do so much damage. Stay clear of unsanitary foreign objects and stick to the basics.
You really, really need to stop all that douching
DO you know what your vagina should smell like? Hint: It’s not tropical breeze or morning mist. Constance Young, MD, assistant professor at Columbia University Medical Center’s department of obstetrics and gynecology says that “The much-advertised intimate care products do exactly the wrong thing to the vaginal microbiome, making it more susceptible to infection.”
We already mentioned before, but let’s just repeat it once more. Your vagina can clean herself up on her own just fine, it doesn’t need any help. It maintains its special pH balanced environment, thanks to the lactobacillus bacteria that resides there. When you start applying your fragranced douches down there, you disrupt its acidic environment and neutralize it, making it unable to protect herself from outside influences.
You might wonder why there are so many products on the market if douching is so bad for you. Well, they’ve got to sell you something and that’s just something that sells. If you feel like you just have to freshen your lady parts up always stick to the simplest method, some unscented soap and warm water, but only on the outside and nothing more. But if you like really, really have to, we still advise you to leave it alone.
