5 Habits That Will Throw off Your Vagina's Taste
Yes, you can be proud of your body and *still* want to taste better.
Every vulva owner has been subconscious about their genitals at some point. Considering the world is obsessed with policing femme bodies, it’s only natural. But you can also love the f-ck out of your body and still want to elevate your wellness routine. That’s normal. So, if you fall into either of those categories, keep reading.
Vaginal taste can be managed with healthy lifestyle habits spanning from diet to hygiene. It’s important to note that your vulva shouldn’t smell or taste like flowers and perfume. Your vulva has its own natural scent and taste and is also self-cleaning.
The goal here is to embrace your body’s natural state and avoid toxic things that disrupt its flow, ultimately making the vagina taste bad during oral sex.
So, here are five things that might be disrupting your vagina’s taste.
1. Nonporous sex toys. Sex toys are undeniably fun. But, certain materials, like jelly toys, can be harmful as they cannot be fully cleaned and harbor bacteria. Opt for body-safe silicone sex toys instead.
2. Thongs. Granted, thongs and G-strings make you feel sexier. But if you have less than sexy things planned like hounding out work from home, avoid thongs as they easily spread bacteria from the anus to the vulva, creating a stench.
3. Alcohol. Heavy drinking leads to sweating which throws off your vagina’s pH balance. This makes you more prone to infection and also creates an undesirable taste.
4. Douches. Once again, your vagina is self-cleaning. Douches are unnecessary and contain fragrances that do not mix well with the vulva’s natural scent.
5. Not wearing cotton undergarments. Panties can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Make sure you’re wearing cotton undergarments so your genitals can breathe.
