6x how to keep it healthy
down under
Dear girls, before we dive into bed, I want to talk about your vajayjay, your flamoesje, or your pussy. In other words: your vagina. Your vagina is one of the most sensitive spots on your body, so good care of it is necessary. Because you might think that everything is okay down there, but is it really? You hop into a new pair of underwear every morning and you also check off the annual check-up neatly. Still, there’s more to a happy & healthy vajayjay. That’s why this list is especially for you, so you can be sure that everything is okay. down under.
1. Pay attention to what you eat
Your diet does indeed affect the smell of your vagina. Certain foods change the balance of your sugars, bacteria, and chemical compositions. For example, if you’ve eaten asparagus, your urine can suddenly start to smell. But even if you’ve had a lot of garlic, your skin can hold onto that smell for days.
2. Eat probiotics
Yogurt, kefir, and other fermented foods contain many good bacteria that also roam around in your vajayjay. By eating these good bacteria, your body can produce the same bacteria and lower the risk of getting an infection.
3. Use a condom
You might think that you only need to use that miserable jacket, the condom, for protection, but research shows that it is the solution to keep the pH level of your vagina in check. That miserable condom can ensure that the good bacteria in your vagina are not affected and that the risk of infections is reduced.
4. Do not use soap
It is now widely known that washing with soap is not good for the pH balance down under. But this also applies to many vaginal products. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ for a reason. And the best thing you can do is just leave it alone. Not such a nice feeling? Then take a warm bath with a spoonful of coconut oil. That hydrates and calms things down after a vigorous session of sex.
5. Choose the right underwear
Cotton friends, and no cheap fabrics. It’s no coincidence that most underwear has a cotton strip in the place of the vagina. Cotton breathes and cares for you. Not going out? Then just skip the underwear so everything can air out nicely. And be careful with wearing tight pants; wear a skirt more often. Yes really, even your vajayjay needs to breathe.
6. Check check double check
As you approach thirty, you will receive a call from the doctor for the mandatory smear test. But even at a younger age, it doesn’t hurt to visit the doctor for a smear or a check. Because yes, prevention is still better than cure.
