8 things women should not put in their vaginas

By Friday, May 6, 2016 - 23:42
The vagina is incredibly sensitive. Spicing up your sex life by introducing it to different objects other than penis or mouth could be risky. Read our list to know more....
  1. Soap
    Vaginas are amazing so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they clean themselves! In order to stay clean and healthy, they have their own PH balance. It means that they regulate the amount of bacteria they produce.

    Cleaning your vagina with soap disrupts this balance and can cause lots of horrible side-effects. Soaps can make your vagina itchy and uncomfortable and give you yeast infections. It can create a burning sensation and cause . All you need to do to keep your vagina clean is to rinse it with water in the shower.
  2. Douching
    A douche squirts water (sometimes scented) inside the vagina in order to ‘clean’ it. However, it can cause health problems. The PH balance (bacteria) in the vagina is very fragile and squirting water into it not only introduces unwanted bacteria in the vagina but can also push bacteria further up into the reproductive organs.

    Research suggests that douching significantly increases the chances of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, which affects the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. If left untreated this can cause infertility.
  3. Sugar
    Although you may not realise it, certain edible things that you use to spice up your sex life like chocolate sauce and whipped cream are full of sugar. Sugar feeds bad bacteria and things like chocolate sauce can dry . Putting sugary things into your vagina can cause infections and irritations. It’s best to use sugary sauces over your upper body.
  4. Flavoured condoms
    Flavoured condoms were created for oral sex and not for penetrative sex. They usually contain sugar (which makes them taste so nice) and are usually scented to suit their flavour (which makes them smell nice too). However, both sugar and scent can cause vaginal infections so unless you really like them for oral sex, it’s best not to use them at all.
  5. Fruits and vegetables
    Putting a banana into your vagina may seem like a fun way to spice up your sex life or a cheap alternative to a sex toy. But your vagina may not feel the same way! Even if you wash the fruit or vegetable beforehand, it could still carry bacteria causing infections that is harmful to your vagina. A safe alternative is putting a condom on any penis shaped fruit or vegetable to prevent direct contact. Any other type of food play should avoid your vagina entirely.
  6. Jelly-rubber sex toys
    Sex toys can be a great addition to your sex life. There are hundreds of variations to suit everybody’s needs. However, jelly rubber sex toys are not always safe in the long run. Preliminary research has found hat they could cause infections as well as cancer. This happens when the sex toy wears out and small cuts and holes appear. Even if you clean the sex toy well after each use, bacteria can stay inside these small holes and cause infections next time you use it. Instead of buying jelly rubber sex toys, go for silicone, stainless steel or hard plastic.
  7. Drugs and alcohol
    People have been found to use drugs and alcohol in their vaginas. There has been a craze in America of putting a vodka soaked tampon into the vagina to get drunk quicker. This can be dangerous.
    Drugs and alcohol are full of chemicals and still pose the same, if not higher risks if you put them in your vagina than any other method of consumption. Absorbing alcohol through your vagina can increase the risks of alcohol poisoning as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream without being filtered through the liver first.

    The vagina is also incredibly sensitive. These chemicals cause painful burning sensations, whilst killing the healthy bacteria that keeps your vagina clean and healthy. Using high amounts could cause anything from an infection to an overdose and should not be risked.
  8. Fairness creams
    Lastly, you may feel tempted to try fairness creams around your vagina but don’t! Fairness creams in general can be very dangerous as many contain mercury psychosis and peripheral neuropathy, which damages nerves.

    You may believe that branded creams are less dangerous but studies have found that this is not the case. So not only should you not use these creams around your vagina but you should avoid using them on your body all together.

Jee nahi Namita bete, is tarah pregnancy nahi hoti hai, lekin isse aapko samasya ho sakti hai. Aur pregnant hone ke liye purush ke shukranu ko mahila ki yoni mein jakar dimb ko nishechit karna bohot zaruri hai. Sath hi tension, stress ya hormonal changes ke karan bhi period aniyamit ho sakta hai. Ye jaan lijiye ki period takreeban 28 se 34 dino ke antral pe hota hai, jo ki har mahila ke liye alag alag hota hai. Ok?. https://lovematters.in/hi/resource/menstrual-cycle Ise bhi padhiye: https://lovematters.in/hi/making-love/ways-to-make-love/using-sex-toys-dos-and-donts Yadi aap is mudde par humse aur gehri charcha mein judna   chahte hain to hamare discussion board “Just Poocho” mein zaroor shamil ho! https://lovematters.in/en/forum
