In recent years, strange advice from influencers has been popping up to tell us, ladies, how to “manage” our crotches.
A sperm sponge
After perineal tanning, supposed to have almost spiritual virtues, we now find on Tik Tok a sperm sponge, which as its name suggests, would be used to clean the vagina of sperm after unprotected sexual intercourse.
Supposed to help with intimate cleansing, the small device made of foam stuck on a stick, is a hit on the networks... and for sale across the Atlantic. Superfluous ? Useful ? The main thing is to remember that this device in no way prevents pregnancy! But the device could be more seriously used after a medical procedure requiring lubricant.
Aggressive for the vaginal flora?
If this tampon is used gently, it is not necessarily harmful to the balance of the vagina. On the other hand, another practice worries health professionals: brushing the vagina to clean it better…
A vagina brush for periods
This time, under the marketing banner of feminism, the argument is to eliminate blood residue during periods and to use less periodic protection. The object looking more like an instrument of torture than anything else with its little nubs, would it be better to favor other ways to feel fresh during your period, right?
The vagina: a self-cleaning and self-repairing organ
Remember that the vagina has a particular microbiota, which manages and self-cleans itself very well without any action on our part. With this type of gadget, we risk lasting damage to its balance and see the proliferation of mycoses and other infections. A gynecologist will never recommend internal cleaning of the penis.
