How do you take care of your VAJAYJAY?
(and how especially not)
Dear girls (boys, read something else fun for a moment. This for example), we're going to talk about your vajayjay, flamoesje, lotus flower. In other words: your vagina. This caused quite a bit of giggling and red cheeks in the editorial office, and modest terms like ‘cunt douche’ were mentioned. And the question of whether this is good or not. Your vagina is one of the most sensitive parts of your body, so proper care is necessary.
Lesson 1: It can smell
Your vagina needs to have a certain acidity level to ensure that bad bacteria cannot grow. If the pH level fluctuates between 3.8 and 4.5 (this is low), then there is a balance between good and bad bacteria. And as the name ‘acid’ suggests, it can smell a bit.
No soap
So if you smell something musty or whatever, realize that this is normal. Please do not rinse with shower gel or other soap. Preferably no soap that is meant for that and also no refreshing wipes. This can still mess up your pH level and that actually causes more odor. And if you're worried about the nose of the male gender, well, they do like a bit of aroma. So I've been told. If it smells like a fish market for a few days or you have excessive discharge, then do go to the doctor.
Water is fine
You can certainly rinse down there, but only with water and only from the outside. A vaginal douche of water is also not good, a study from the Milken Institute School of Public Health in Washington showed. They found that women who regularly douching vaginally were more exposed to Di-ethyl phthalate. This could change the functioning of estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.
Change regularly
Using panty liners or tampons is fine, but change them at least every four hours. Otherwise, it will start to brew, and bad bacteria love that. We find that very disgusting, bleh.
Cotton
Synthetic underwear is not good for your vajayjay because it breathes less well. So put on that sexy lace string for your man for sure. If you sit in the office all day, that Hema slip is fine too.
After l'amour
Very few women really know this, but make sure you go to the toilet to pee and sprinkle the area with a bit of water after the deed.
