!!️love the wave of #gynecologists reviewing what [we] WOULDNT do or put on or put in [our] kitties... ❓to reiterate a few OBVIOUS ONES (or so we think, though the world of SM tells us otherwise!) 🛑these one are actually just BAD for anyone’s parts: ❌no douching ❌no Vaginal steaming ❌no jade eggs ❌no products that promise to scour your parts or make them smell like roses 🆘THESE are not BAD FOR YOU per se BUT many of us would take pause: ❓vabbing (it’s a thing. If you haven’t heard) ❓Vaginal rejuvenation (procedures that help with vulvo-vaginal elasticity and atrophy OR stress incontinence can be very helpful, but when marketed to make labia/vulva more youthful—again—personal choice but seems predatory IMHO ❓an@l bleaching (yes. Also a thing) and an@l tattoos 🖐THESE are two that again, aren’t VERBOTEN, but IMO cause FAR more issues than positives from my 23 years of practicing: 🚫daily pantiliners-they seem to trap moisture and almost cause a REBOUND discharge—much like TRYING to dry your face to avoid acne only to notice it the oversecretes oil. I think that anything OTHER THAN PURE COTTON sitting up against your Vulva doesn’t allow it to breathe so ironically in an effort to feel better bc “we don’t like discharge” MANY patients seem to get MORE until I can convince them to give liners up for a few weeks then they notice improvement ALONG WITH acceptance that SOME discharge is NORMAL!! (I woulda made $$$$ had I pursued my idea 2 decades ago about taking washcloth material to make reusable liners....sigh.....) 🚫going bald—now this is a matter of personal preference to be sure BUT it seems our hair follicles serve some great purposes on our Vulva—maybe allowing some air filtration as the underwear doesn’t sit RIGHT against the skin. Also acting as a bit of a friction barrier from $ex...ALSO the hair follicles secrete oil which acts as a moisturizer. SO you do you BUT I’ve seen a lot of vulvar irritation I believe as a result of being stone cold bald there. (There should be a syndrome named for the COMBO of hairless kitty, thongs and peloton riding as a “vector” for vulvar irritation @jillkrapfmd ammiright?) NOT MALIGNING any of these! ❓Tell us YOURS!
