I beg of you, my friends: Do not put Vicks Vaporub in your vagina, no matter what the internet says
How is this ‘trick’ going viral?
by Jenn Ficarra
There are plenty of ways to spice up the bedroom but using Vicks Vaporub on your vagina is not one of them.
Lately, women have been rubbing Vicks Vaporub on their vaginas and clits. Online blogs and forums claim that this magical "trick" can boost orgasms, clean your vagina and, bonus, make it smell nicer.
Hint: it does none of those things.
Advice from a health forum claiming Vicks on the vagina is ~fine~
In fact, it's actually pretty dangerous to rub Vicks Vaporub on any part of your genitals. If you need lube, buy lube. If you need an orgasm, buy a vibrator. If you need to clean up, shower.
But do not, under any circumstances, put Vicks Vaporub near your vagina.
Do you know what putting Vicks on the vag will do, though? Cause bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.
Yep, instead of treating your vaginal problems it will actually cause them.
Your vagina is like a self-cleaning oven. It sounds gross but it's true. It's artificially intelligent and deals with it's own shit. It doesn't need help from anyone else or anything else. It's entirely self-sufficient. It's supposed to not smell like roses.
But it's not supposed to smell rancid either.
If you smell funkier than normal down there it's cause to see your doctor, not smother your puss in vaporub. That's just dumb. Not even like "lol we can make a meme out of it" dumb but actually, physically dumb.
When you're sick, please, rub that shit all over your chest to feel better but keep it away from your nether regions.
Once more, for the people in the back: DO. NOT. PUT. VICKS. VAPORUB. ON. YOUR. VAGINA.
Your body (and your doctors) will thank you.
