When it comes to our lady bits, there is often more to it than we realise. Since vagina plays an extremely important role in orgasms and the complete reproductive journey, it is important to get your facts rights about your lady bits. From its shape, size, smell to its exact anatomy, there are 4 things that you probably did not know about your vagina.
1. Vagina is NOT what you think it is
For starters, when you say the word ‘vagina’, you are actually talking about vulva–the external part of the female reproductive system. In reality, vagina is the muscular tube that connects the vulva to the cervix of the uterus. Yes, so those outer and inner lips that you see on the outside is actually the vulva.
2. You need to stop cleaning it down there
The market is flooded with all sorts of female hygiene (and sadly even whitening) products. However, it is important to understand that your female bits do not need constant or even rigorous cleansing. So give those scented vaginal washes a break and use mild soap and water instead. You can also use plain water as your vagina is self-cleansing.
3. Watch what you eat
Instead of going overboard with scented soaps and vaginal washes, it is important to pay attention to what you are eating. There are a lot of different factors that impact your smell down there, primarily what you eat. So, if you probably wish to alter the scent of lady bits, you may want to change your diet. However, if you notice that your vagina is smelling dramatically different, it might also be the sign of an infection.
4. Remember to hit the loo after sex
Going to pee after having sex should be a standard protocol as it helps in protecting against any infections like UTI. It is important to urinate after having sex so that you can cleanse the vaginal passage.
