When it comes to vaginas, there’s a multitude of myths that can leave you scratching your head. Luckily, our friend Vicky the Vagina is here to unveil the truth. With the assistance of Dr. Jane Smith, an OB-GYN, Vicky tackles your pressing questions about all things vaginal—whether it’s related to health, hygiene, or intimacy.
WATCH: Ask the Expert
Is pubic hair necessary?
Yes! Hair in that area serves as a protective barrier for your vagina, helping to shield it from potential infections. The skin down there is delicate and can easily get nicked or torn, which can lead to infections. So, if you’re considering a trim, it’s best to clip rather than shave. Embrace the bush, I say!
Can your labia swell after intercourse?
If you’ve experienced swollen labia post-orgasm, consider yourself fortunate! During arousal, blood vessels expand, which can cause swelling in both the labia majora and minora as well as the vagina. Just like with an erect penis, once you orgasm, blood flow returns to normal, and the swelling subsides. Hooray for anatomy!
Is it acceptable to use feminine wash?
As Dr. Smith advises, steer clear of all feminine washes! If you’re worried about hygiene, a gentle solution can be made by mixing a teaspoon of white vinegar with water. This blend has antiseptic qualities and is mild on your skin. Just remember to wash only the external area to avoid irritation of the vaginal cavity.
