A Few Tips on Self-Care for Your Ladyhood aka Your Vagina ...

Let your vagina breathe because according to many gynecologists, including my own, over washing and applying lotions and soap every day can actually increase the risk of issues such as discharge. This is one of the best ways to keep your vagina healthy and happy.

Seriously just do not even bother anymore. There are already enough side effects, such as irritation which it can lead to a U.T.I. (urinary infection) and even soreness of the vaginal walls.

I know, I KNOW they smell so fuckin’ beautiful, but like body sprays you find at your local dollar store, they are also filled with many toxins. Hint: why they smell so good in the first place. Think about it.

Just do it. Do NOT ask.

This is important.

Often, we feel that applying more ‘pressure’ is a good thing when in fact, it can increase irritation.

Yeah, they are so pretty and cool to look at and turn the water into any color of your choice BUT overusing these guys can actually do more harm. This includes a buildup of bacterial fungi (if not properly washed out of your ladyhood after use).

When it comes to the time of the month, avoid any purchases and usage of fragrance/scented pads and tampons. I know, when it is a heavier month of bleeding, the temptation is higher. But they are also filled with one too many toxins that could trigger irritation as well as an allergic reaction.

I know they are prettier or maybe they are just cheaper to buy or maybe you do not want to buy a new pair. But for the love of GOD, just go out and buy the right sizes. Remember, all clothing items run differently so please do not be hard on yourself. Let your ladyhood breathe occasionally; it is suffocating your ‘V’ by wearing tighter underwear.

Look for any new moles, bumps, or pimples. If you see anything new and if anything hurts, go to your doctor immediately.

Do this to avoid any ingrown hairs, otherwise, it can be a bitch to try and remove yourself, let alone it is a bit more dangerous to try and tweeze or shave it off.

Not only clean it but touch it and play with it and lastly, do not jump to conclusions as well and expect that something is wrong.

The human body is always going through changes. And if you are still developing, it is normal to see changes (unless anything is causing pain). It is awesome to be a woman so do not fret over how your ‘V’ looks. As long as you wash down there and go to your annual checkups, you will be more than okay.
