Steaming the va gina actually does a lot more harm than good!
It's
not uncommon to see ladies 'steam the va gina' to get it to 'smell
nice', 'keep it good shape' and generally 'cleanse it'! Some ladies even
go as far as sticking things into it or diluting the hot water (steam)
with herbs and more to 'clean it inside out' but it's time to stop!
The
vagina is self cleansing so there's usually no need to overly clean it!
The vagina restores its own PH balance all by itself meaning even soaps
especially perfumed/scented/medicated should not be used on it. It's
best cleansed with water (and to go the extra mile with very mild soap)
A
lot of ladies sit of steam usually mixed with antiseptic and others to
cleanse the vagina and the uterus inside out, more like a steam douche
on the vagina which many ladies believe help balance the vagina
PH/hormone level but it's not true.
There are two great reasons to stay away from vagina steaming:
1. Destroying V agina's 'Good Bacteria'
Steaming
the vagina can entirely disrupt the hormonal balance and the natural
bacteria in that region. There are 'good bacteria' necessary to cleanse
the vagina and when their functions are disrupted this could result in
imbalances and even infections.
Clean the
vagina with water and in extreme cases mild, unscented soap, NEVER
douche. Eat more yoghurt, fruits et al to keep the area smelling fresh
and retain the good bacteria.
2. Burn
Since
steaming the vagina requires hot water steam, there's every tendency to
burn oneself and that's not even the heat felt while sitting over the
steam!
The vag ina can be burned while
steaming and this goes past the physical as it could get so bad that the
lining between the bladder and rectum (where the vagina sits right next
to) and can cause a whole lot of serious health issues.
To
ensure a clean and nice smelling vagina, toss tight pants, tame pubic
hair, wear more cotton down there to allow the vagina breathe, never use
anything perfumed down there and keep it clean all the time by rinsing
with water.
NOTE: If you MUST steam the vagina, do this under strict supervision by professionals or be extremely careful
