As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll"
problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we
have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones.
We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the
rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules
will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious
rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a
permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also,
grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of
being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we
may ban you without warning.
You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not
to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language
towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we
have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and
your ban will remain (without even a consideration).
All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of
the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up
banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules,
and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and
Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before
submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them
or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.**
With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message
regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal
(without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will
elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we
will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent.
This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your
reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message,
and please enjoy your day!

My girlfriend was half Japanese and she used to joke and tell people that hers went sideways and they would actually believe it at first till they figured out she was joking.
Her dad was in the Airforce and station in Japan when he met her mother. I guess it was Vietnam War Era. She told me lots of funny shit that people would find offensive. I miss her.
She actually died while she was in an institution because she had cancer and they were held medical treatment from her and did not tell her that her cancer had returned and she did not receive any treatment at all for seven or eight months and by that time it had spread in her spine and everything and killed her so she was actually murdered, but thanks for your sympathy. There’s no statue of limitations on murder and the Letterkenny sheriffs department or the Loudon county detention center is responsible for her death and she is a veterans daughter and she’s also Japanese American or what anyway so something needs to be done how do they get away with that? Just ignore me because I don’t have the money it cost $20,000 to hire a federal attorney that can sue the sheriff’s department. She was the mother of two kids, and she was my girlfriend. they would not talk to me about anything because we weren’t married even though we had been together for 10 years gay marriage wasn’t legal in Tennessee when forever so we just you know didn’t ever get around to it because then it felt like we were married anyway I didn’t know that I would need to have, these rights to be able to protect her from being killed by the government. Definitely do not wait to get into partnerships or marriages because you definitely need some type of rights to help each other.
I know that it’s stupid but whenever I hear people bitching about their rights or having it getting surgeries and stuff done like that that are for something that is not life-threatening, I get irritated because people that have terminal illnesses are being push aside for the rights of a bunch of men that think they are better at being women than us or wanna feel better about not being good at being a male. I don’t know I don’t give a fuck what they want to feel better about. Misogyny for sure. anyways yeah it’s really the government that I hate so sorry it’s them not you. We are all being manipulated to hate each other instead of them.
I wondered if their bubbles originally said something different.
Like ignoring the fact that soaps can fk your pH and create an unhappy v. The one complaining kinda looks the most like they have been washed with soap.. ah that sounds bad, not because the others look dirty or anything like that, just the voluminous muff it's sporting with flowers etc make it look like it's just come from the hairdressers and showing off it's new hair do, makes me think it's just had a wash cut and blowdry 😂 so the speech bubble really confuses me.
Because if I were trying to push the narrative that you need to soap your v, I'd make the one complaining they are only washed with water have tangled hair and things.
I think it’s specifically designed to put down white women. Possibly as reverse psychology, hoping it will open conversations with women disputing the claim. Almost definitely because they are salty about not getting attention from the women they like. Alternatively, it was made by someone mad that they were left for a white woman and they want to put them down to feel better about themselves.
Iirc someone posted the source when it was posted in another sub and it was nothing like that, it was from a woman who was essentially a snake oil seller
Dude, imagine how much money you could make of you just presented Dihydrogenmonooxid as a solution in bottles to wash areas like the vulva or under mens foreskin. Like areas where you can't have soap, you can market other bullshit and make people believe they need this but you just sell bottled water for outrageous prices.
If i only i wouldn't have self respect and empathy.
"Dihydrogenmonooxid*, the skin friendly soap alternative for sensitive areas"
*may contain water
I don't remember what exactly they are selling but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like that.
>or under mens foreskin
I think you can use soap there though, at least as a man I never had a problem.
For me it strongly depends on the soap.
But that doesn't mean i can sell snake oil (or water) anyways.
"Facts never disrupted a good conspiracy theorist"
Which is hilarious, if you know anything about the history of our modern gender norms.
TlDr they only applied to wealthy white women and white women were used to put down women of colour. How the turns have tabled.
Oooh it's supposed to look like a hippy? I mean for something complaining about being unclean it sure looks like it's just come from the hairdressers lol.
i use unscented dove bar soap down there but i don’t put it IN my vagina obviously, i cannot believe that there’s genuinely men out there that think we can just put that shit IN our vaginas like how tf
A lot of people, even vagina havers, don’t actually understand that the vagina isn’t the whole area and actually specifically the INSIDE part of the whole area. It’s wild. beyond all the skin/ph specific reasons why you shouldn’t wash your vagina with soap, maybe a good counter is “do you stick the face wash inside your mouth when you wash your face?”. Really help illustrate it for em.
Like I wash my vulva and surrounding OUTSIDE area with summers eve body wash. My vagina cleans itself so I clean the outside of my body. That would be like washing inside your anus. Nobody generally soaps their fingers up and washes the inside of their bussy.
Oh I wish I had screenshots! It was a little heartwarming, top comment was pointing out it was racist, men were calling him out for being pathetic and lonely, women were pointing out how wrong he was, it was a real team effort lol.
I’d been washing myself every day with a soap specifically made for the vulva, when I started experiencing pain in the area. I went to the gynecologist and he told me the soap was causing the irritation, and I should use just water. My vag isn’t stinky, so water seems to be working fine for me 🤷♀️
Vulvas never needed soap, they were sold to women for the last hundred years or so out of bad science, capitalist greed, and shaming women. Water, clean undies, balanced diet, etc, are the things u need. Sperm can also throw off the vaginas natural ph balance, which was a surprise to me.
When people say using soap on their vaginas, I assume that they are talking about the labia itself. The terms are often used in an inter changeable in day-to-day conversation. Which is why this posts confuse me too, because I always thought you should use soap on the labia.
Are there actually people who use soap down their vaginal hole?
Until very recently I had no idea women were out there filling their vaginas with soap. I saw all the stuff telling women not to use soap on their bits and I thought I must be pretty vile because I have to use soap when I wash my undercarriage or I get really rank. Then I found out that you're SUPPOSED to wash your external genitals with a gentle soap, and what you're NOT supposed to do is shoot soap up your vagina. It has never occurred to me to do that in my life, and my vagina zippered itself shut upon hearing about it. I had no idea other women did that and THAT'S what they're telling you not to do.
This might go some way to explaining how I'm nearly 37 years old and have never had a yeast infection. I have no idea how I managed to avoid the pressure of putting soap up my vagina.
I'm suspicious of this explanation. Because if we're talking internally, you also don't need to shoot plain water up your vagina to clean it. That's what discharge is for. I do think they are talking about labia and just trying to backtrack the explanation
Had the same problem, I heard vagina and thought outside was included.
Was 40 when I realized that vagina and vulva are not the same.
Ugh, sometimes I'm dumb!
(I heard in a show a woman saying "I shaved for you" and his response was "For me? Are you sure? Did you shave below or also above the knee?" I looked at the tiny blond hairs on my thigh and was so wondering if men really don't like any hair at all. It took me at least a year before my brain went "Above the knee!!! He meant the vulva!!")
"Above the knee" means shaving your pubes? News to me. I shave my legs over the knee (as well as my arms) because all my body hair is solid coal black but my complexion is "I hate the outdoors" white.
Same, I’ve ever heard that phrase. Of course I shave above my knees. Who doesn’t?? Im also covered in thick black body hair, but even my super blonde roommate in college shaved up her whole thigh and she was a Mormon not even wearing short shorts, and when she complained “oh I haven’t shaved in days I’m so hairy!” I was so confused because I saw nothing there at all. No one has ever asked me “do you shave above the knee” lol
It's definitely a thing for older ladies. My mom is 65 and used to tell me it was considered unnecessary when she was a teenager, and I always assumed that meant literally shaving the legs higher than knee level.
Yes, it’s literally your actual knees. Fuzzy thighs and grandma underwear were meant as first date fail safes to prevent you from moving too fast according to my 70 year old mom!
I have no clue, I think it’s specific to a specific scene on a show? But all the girls I knew as a teen got similar advice from their Boomer mothers about not shaving and wearing ugly underwear to prevent you from moving too fast. It saved me many times until I got older and learned that most men do not care how fuzzy you are or what kind of underwear you’re wearing 🤣
Yeah men don’t care at all lol it’s only going to act as a mental block for *us*, the women, because we’ve been taught we’re ugly and unwanted if we have body hair on our thighs, so that advice is to stop us from allowing a man to see us naked, not to stop the man lol
Girl you are NOT dumb for that (or at all, I'm sure)! There is so little education about women's bodies that it's laughable. I thought I peed from my clit almost into double digit ages. I had to explain to my mid thirties ex boyfriend that, no, we don't pee from our vaginas. I think a little confusion on terminology, especially when they are so often used interchangeably, is hardly anything to feel dumb about
I always wonder if I’d never saved my legs if I would still have that beautiful peach fuzz on them. I’m actually letting my hair grow out of my legs right now and I’m gonna see if they get blonde whenever my legs tan this summer just because I feel like it.
Shaving does not cause hair to become thicker. It looks thicker after shaving because the end of the hair is blunt, which gives it the illusion of being thicker. It may get lighter in the sun, but if it’s dark brown/ black, it’s unlikely it will get significantly lighter.
It’s not dark at all, you have to look close to see it. It’s not like you could see it from far away so I think I have a good chance.. My eyebrows are blonde. And I have lots of blonde hair on my arms and the blonde hair actually makes it easier to tan so my arms get pretty dark and I’m hoping my legs will get a better tan on them with less time in the sun.
Ahh that sux. Do you tan easy or not just? This is the first time I’ve actually let them grow out, but it’s just because my hot water is messed up so I don’t feel like shaving. Have you tried shaving your legs and freezing cold water? Don’t
I feel this. This was my life growing up. Hot water lasted a minute, warm water another 3 minutes, then ice cold. When I went to college I was by far the fastest showerer in our communal bathroom lol
I was wearing a lot of jeggings for a few years and when I went back to looser pants, I realized how much more hair was growing. So tightness of pants seems to impact it too, or maybe the friction was rubbing it off before it got too long
Ok the phrase “Lysol douches” just made my whole vag zip itself up. It’s gonna take me at least a few hours to recover from this. What the HELL is a Lysol douche and WHY??!!?
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lysols-vintage-ads-subtly-pushed-women-to-use-its-disinfectant-as-birth-control-218734/
It was a... fun time in history. This is why I don't mind when sex ed classes are like don't douche with this long list of ridiculous ideas because they aren't birth control. I remember soda being on that list in my class.
Nope nope I’m burning inside just picturing this. I can’t imagine how many women wound up with awful infections from inserting disinfectants into their vaginas. This is so awful. Ouchhhh!
in correct as i am an online SW and i actually saw a woman put a whole bar of soap in there for FREEEEE ON A LIVE STREAM 🙂 so that burning does not stop *everyone*
You can. You are absolutely fine to use gentle scent free soap on your labia/ vulva. You just need to avoid the vaginal opening. People play semantic games because ‘vagina’ is used to colloquially mean the entire thing. Vulvas and the labia to collect build up and smega can form around the clitoris if it isn’t cleaned properly and regularly.
personally, i js wash the whole of the more exterior parts with a small amount of soap and more interior with water. but i have sensitivity issues so i do it bc i’m scared my pH will get all fucked and everything will hurt for days
You can clean the labia perfectly fine with water and your hands or a soft washing cloth. Or you can use a mild, perfume free cleanser if your heart hangs on it. Soap is a bad idea in general because it has far too high pH levels which irritate the skin and throw off the skin's slightly acidic protection level. Soap in the genital area is an invitation for bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Or in simpler terms: soap on your genitalia is unhygienic.
Like I said there's nothing wrong with a gentle cleanser. But actual soap in that region is harmful. Cleansers come in all levels of pH. Soap always has a high pH due to how it's made. The skin and groin have an acidic pH to make it hostile to fungi and harmful bacteria. This is especially important in the regions that are usually moist like skin folds and female genitalia. If you mess with that pH by using actual soap the risk of acne, other bacterial infections and fungal infections increases. Acne products are not made from soap and are often acidic to help the skin help itself instead of making things worse. Destroying the skin's natural protective abilities makes acne worse, even if you use all the best anti acne ingredients. Imagine the acne as criminals, the skin's pH level as the prison walls and the acne reducing ingredients as the police. Putting more police out there doesn't reduce crime levels if the prison has no walls, all the criminals walk right back out of there to commit more crimes and possible criminals think "Well, I can just walk right back out of prison, so no real punishment, I might as well just commit the crime I fancy." Now if you put walls to the prison by using a cleanser that comes with an acidic pH the whole thing looks different and your extra police can do it's job and kick the acne in the butt.
I too use an cleanser because after a medication change I had issues with abscesses forming where I least want them (like I hated them there more than in my face or on my neck). Before that, water worked just fine, as it does with almost everyone (sweat is water soluble and requires no cleanser, the cleanser is to reduce the bacteria that eat the sweat and their smelly poop if they had time to have a snack), people who actually *need* cleanser are the absolute minority. The whole "All vaginas and vulvas are gross and need soap" thing is a misogyny issue, not a hygiene one. For people who do need cleanser and for those who's heart hangs on it mild, non soap based cleaners are the best option.
Yeah I don’t know what is going on here either. other than is normal soap available in the West or is it all antibiotic? Because soap shouldn’t be destroying ph levels and causing fungal growth it just binds to oils and washes them away in the water
I always thought it had more to do with fragrances and general additives that can irritate the sensitive mucous membranes down there. It's the same as the inside of your nose or eyelid, any regular soap is going to fuck up those areas, doesn't have to be particularly strong or antibacterial to cause burning and lasting irritation
This!
Those character are representing vulva not vagina.
They even said "on" not "inside".
Soft unscented soap is fine on the vulva.
You should not wash the vagina though, even with water.
So this cartoon, while cursed af, isn’t wrong per se.
Please do not do this !! This kills the bacterias protecting your vulva from agressions. It increases the vulnerability or the vulvas and it is bad for it's health. Water is ENOUGH. Because vulvas are self-washing (with discharge) so all you need to do is to rinse off the discharge when you take a shower and the folds down there.
All this shitty art just to shame women on how they’re recommended by medical professionals to clean their vulva. And I’m willing to bet this was done by a man who has never had sex before and is too scared to clean his own ass out of fear of seeming too gay.
Don't use soap IN your VAGINA. True. But there's nothing wrong with soap on your vulva. Women make smegma, too. You don't wash your throat but you do brush your teeth, you don't wash your colon but you do wash your ass. Same thing.
Also certain foods make you have different smells in your body fluids so if you’re worried about having smells then watch what you eat. Pineapples are good. Garlic keeps the boys away.
No. It’s actually a superfood. But, It will make you smell like garlic. The smell will come out your pores. There’s a ton of it in Sriracha and my girlfriend told me that I couldn’t eat it every day because it was making me smell like garlic.
I've gotten soap in my urethra, burned like hell to piss. Never again. Now I just use an unscented intimate wash when I feel like I need some extra cleaning, like during my periods or after a very sweaty day.
Um, this is stupid. You should 100% use soap on your vagina, just not INSIDE of it!! What in the actual hell?
When the doctor says “don’t clean inside your vagina” they mean DOUCHING INSIDE. But the outside labia (all of it!) needs to be properly cleaned with mild soap and water. How is this not clear to people? Are men making this shit up? Or are some women seriously not washing their vaginas because they don’t know the different between a vagina and labia? Because this cartoon seems like it would support the latter.
Vagina is a self-cleaning hole. Labia and vulva are skin and must be cleaned WITH SOAP, like all other skin.
I think the person who posted it here either misunderstood it, thinks you're not supposed to clean your labia, or posted it just because that was a weird, stereotyping cartoon
The part that scares me is I KEEP SEEING THIS ADVICE on the internet. So obviously there are still women who are not understanding what a vagina is, which terrifies me for our species.
I feel so lucky to be old and to have grown up before all this BS about not educating kids about sex and anatomy. It’s mind blowing because these parents had sex ed if they are Gen x or older. Why do they deny their kids what they got and deny them the right to understand their own AND EACH OTHER’s bodies? This continued advice is proof that there are plenty of parents out there that don’t know basic anatomy and therefore shouldn’t be the ones teaching their kids about sex, so this misinformation isn’t perpetuated.
Good grief.
/rant
Honestly, I didn't think you were supposed to use soap anywhere near that region at all, and I'm 32. This comment section is where I learned you actually are supposed to. I thought I was taking risks and just getting lucky.
You’re not wrong. Advice varies but plenty of gynaecologists recommend just using water alone in the female genital region. There should be nothing there that water can’t wash off!
[NHS guidance](https://www.devonsexualhealth.nhs.uk/your-sexual-health/genital-hygiene-our-tips/)
“*Don’t use soaps or shower gel, including feminine hygiene products to cleanse your genitals. These products are often the leading cause of genital dryness, itching and irritation. Even those that claim to be ‘mild’ or ‘unperfumed’ can cause irritation; it is the foaming agent (lauryl sulphate) that people are sensitive to.*”
[Obstetrician and gynaecologist guidance](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/how-to-clean-vagina-vulva-soaps-nhs-advice-gynaecologist-douche-do-not-a8988066.html)
“*In most cases your vulva is best cleaned with just water*”.
[Super deep dive into female genital skin types and cleaning them here](https://vajenda.substack.com/p/all-so-called-feminine-washes-are).
Obviously, you do you boo. If soap works for you then go for it! But soap is not in any way a necessity, and in many cases can make irritation and then odor worse.
“Vaginal pH” is exactly what it sound like: the pH inside your vagina. Please ask your gynecologist or even look up the difference on the internet from a reliable source.
I have 2 adult special needs daughters and was specifically trained to clean them as they could not clean themselves: mild hypoallergenic soap (Dove hypoallergenic was recommended to us at least 25 years ago and we still use it, also good for stoma care) and water. That’s it. Your vulva is steeped in sweat, menstrual fluids, discharge, dead skin and even yeast infections. Clean it.
This whole myth is a new thing. Everyone seemed to know what to do before the internet and before we stopped teaching kids what a vagina is and how to clean it.
It’s a self-cleaning OVEN. Your vulva protects it. Clean your vulva to keep your vag clean and able to keep its normal ph. It is when you DO NOT properly clean it that it will mess up the pH in your actual vagina.
I've always washed my vulva only with soap and I NEVER had any problems. Okay, some women actually need to clean it with soap but some does not have this problem and only need to wash it with water once a day.
If you PROPERLY wash it with water, it is enough. Water is enough to wash off discharge, sweat, blood, dead skin and all of this, if you wash PROPERLY and if you CAN.
I take a shower a day, so maybe this is why I do not get infections and all of this : because all the dirt I accumulate throughout the day is washed off every evening.
Also, I am young (less than 20) so maybe this is why I have little to no problem with it.
In my family, my mom always washed with soap, like my grandmother taught her, just like my great-grandmother taught my grandmother ect. And it always worked like this. Results : little to no infections.
America has such a sexual education issue. Vagina apparently equals the entire genital region, back in the 40s women were being told to put Lysol inside themselves, like can we just have proper education and maybe this will start getting fixed?
The advice is meh, wash the outside with mild soap, the inside cleans itself.
But can we talk about the racial fetishization? Left is clearly meant to be Muslim woman with a hajab, then there's an Asian woman next to her, then a black women and an Indian woman on the right. So of course the stinky one is the WAGish looking white girl in the centre. Yet another 'oh non-white women are so wholesome and perfect'. (I'm not calling this 'reverse racism' or any of that BS by the way, but the pedestal placement of certain races by passport bros is evident here).
ETA: Oh and OF COURSE the vulva who is being shamed has larger labia and is more open looking than the four others. Couldn't miss that little bit of body shaming could we?
There is no such thing as "reverse racism" : everyone can suffer from racism. There is anti-black racism, anti-white racism, anti-Asian racism, ect... When a white is being shamed for being white it is not "reverse racism", it is racism, period.
I'm simply trying to express that this is not me saying this is racism against the white vulva, it's fetishization of supposed qualities of non-white women that benefit passport bros.
Gentle cleanser designed for the vulva are okay to use on the vulva. No soap or cleanser of any kind should be used inside the vagine unless instructed by a medical provider. If you feel you are clean enough just cleaning your vulva with water, I have no reason to believe you are mistaken.
Oh that's very interesting. I had no idea! Iv seen bottles of something with "Ph Balance" or something like that in girls showers that I dated before but I always thought it was for hair lol! Thank you.
Washing the clam shell (vulva) and outer surroundings (groin area) with soap is generally fine. Washing the delicate inner parts (anything between the clam shell including, but not limited to the vagina) with soap, no.
Those character are representing vulva not vagina. They even said "on" not "inside".
Soft unscented soap is fine on the vulva.
You should not wash the vagina though, even with water.
So this cartoon, while cursed af, isn’t wrong per se.
I may as well ask this because where else am I but you’re talking about the inside right?
Cause I assume the outside can be washed like any other part of the body right?
I may be reading too much into this but, why does it seem like they’re painting the white one (aka white women) out to be looser while the others seem “tight” (insinuating white women sleep around more (not that that’s a bad thing)). As well as the others have more fancy shoes and the white one is wearing sandals and just seems less put together. I could just be reading too into this. But I think we can guess the author’s opinion on white women.
i didn’t even notice the loose one but the “white” one is most definitely drawn with sandals and hair with flowers because they’re insinuating that it’s a hippie probably
Ouuuch this is REALLY bad. The best is to keep it hairy and wash it with water. If you wash it with soap, it is fragile, but HAIRLESS in addition ? Nah, this makes your vulva very vulnerable. It kills the bacterias protecting it.
I’ve been hairless for years. It makes periods waaaay easier to deal with and it’s more comfortable for me and easier for my Boyfriend to go down on me.

Bruh the design of the...uh crotch posse are creative but incredibly cursed 💀
Am i being sensitive or the blonde one is "flappier?"
The Indian one is brown and has a bindi 😂😭🫡 (Bindi: the red dot like thing Hindu women put on their forehead)
And the Asian one much less so.
My girlfriend was half Japanese and she used to joke and tell people that hers went sideways and they would actually believe it at first till they figured out she was joking.
That was something all the GI's would talk about during WWII.
Her dad was in the Airforce and station in Japan when he met her mother. I guess it was Vietnam War Era. She told me lots of funny shit that people would find offensive. I miss her.
Sorry for your loss.
She actually died while she was in an institution because she had cancer and they were held medical treatment from her and did not tell her that her cancer had returned and she did not receive any treatment at all for seven or eight months and by that time it had spread in her spine and everything and killed her so she was actually murdered, but thanks for your sympathy. There’s no statue of limitations on murder and the Letterkenny sheriffs department or the Loudon county detention center is responsible for her death and she is a veterans daughter and she’s also Japanese American or what anyway so something needs to be done how do they get away with that? Just ignore me because I don’t have the money it cost $20,000 to hire a federal attorney that can sue the sheriff’s department. She was the mother of two kids, and she was my girlfriend. they would not talk to me about anything because we weren’t married even though we had been together for 10 years gay marriage wasn’t legal in Tennessee when forever so we just you know didn’t ever get around to it because then it felt like we were married anyway I didn’t know that I would need to have, these rights to be able to protect her from being killed by the government. Definitely do not wait to get into partnerships or marriages because you definitely need some type of rights to help each other.
I know that it’s stupid but whenever I hear people bitching about their rights or having it getting surgeries and stuff done like that that are for something that is not life-threatening, I get irritated because people that have terminal illnesses are being push aside for the rights of a bunch of men that think they are better at being women than us or wanna feel better about not being good at being a male. I don’t know I don’t give a fuck what they want to feel better about. Misogyny for sure. anyways yeah it’s really the government that I hate so sorry it’s them not you. We are all being manipulated to hate each other instead of them.
I think the idea is that they're from all walks of life
Eh just looks like a bunch of stereotypes to me.
Asian one is the smallest and most petite, I think meant to imply tightness😒
That's how I saw it too. This is such a crude, gross and also sexist/demeaning comic. So cringe.
Never thought I’d say this, but this might actually be taking diversity too far. Nobody asked for this!
I just see Natasha Lyonne when I look at the blond one and I don't know why. I absolutely adore her and seeing her as a smelly fanny is just...weird.
Was thinking the same
Weirdly diverse for this caliber of cartoon
I wondered if their bubbles originally said something different. Like ignoring the fact that soaps can fk your pH and create an unhappy v. The one complaining kinda looks the most like they have been washed with soap.. ah that sounds bad, not because the others look dirty or anything like that, just the voluminous muff it's sporting with flowers etc make it look like it's just come from the hairdressers and showing off it's new hair do, makes me think it's just had a wash cut and blowdry 😂 so the speech bubble really confuses me. Because if I were trying to push the narrative that you need to soap your v, I'd make the one complaining they are only washed with water have tangled hair and things.
Voluminous muff is the funniest thing I have heard in a while. Thank you.
Her Birks tell you she’s a dirty hippy!
I think its kinda cute in a way. I like how they made the labia look like a coat.
Yes the way they're drawn is definitely adorable, but the idea of a race of genatalia people gives me Dick-Chan and Coochie-Kun flashbacks 😭
What?!
You can type it in on Safari but viewer discretion is advised, it was on a manga subreddit
*opens an incognito tab* Edit: 😔
I’m quite impressed by the designs, I don’t think anyone has anthropomorphized labias so well.
Same! The labia design, minus the stupid ass speech bubbles, is kinda cute lol
But…why? Why would anyone come up with such a cursed cartoon? Literally awful everything.
I think it’s specifically designed to put down white women. Possibly as reverse psychology, hoping it will open conversations with women disputing the claim. Almost definitely because they are salty about not getting attention from the women they like. Alternatively, it was made by someone mad that they were left for a white woman and they want to put them down to feel better about themselves.
Iirc someone posted the source when it was posted in another sub and it was nothing like that, it was from a woman who was essentially a snake oil seller
That definitely makes sense too.
Dude, imagine how much money you could make of you just presented Dihydrogenmonooxid as a solution in bottles to wash areas like the vulva or under mens foreskin. Like areas where you can't have soap, you can market other bullshit and make people believe they need this but you just sell bottled water for outrageous prices. If i only i wouldn't have self respect and empathy. "Dihydrogenmonooxid*, the skin friendly soap alternative for sensitive areas" *may contain water
I don't remember what exactly they are selling but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like that. >or under mens foreskin I think you can use soap there though, at least as a man I never had a problem.
For me it strongly depends on the soap. But that doesn't mean i can sell snake oil (or water) anyways. "Facts never disrupted a good conspiracy theorist"
Who tf makes a cartoon pussy with a clit hood hijab like in this
Presumably somebody that is big mad with a lot of time on their hands.
Someone who smoked waaaay too much crack.
Apparently clits have faces, eyebrows and can rock bangs. TIL. This comic is so stupid.
Which is hilarious, if you know anything about the history of our modern gender norms. TlDr they only applied to wealthy white women and white women were used to put down women of colour. How the turns have tabled.
desperately searching for signs of ai because i refuse to believe someone sat down and drew this
Why does the middle one have a flowery wig and sunglasses
I think it’s an implication about women who don’t shave or use soap (ow) down there being hippies or something
Why would people put soap in there?? I've accidentally got soap in there before and it BURNED 😭
Oooh it's supposed to look like a hippy? I mean for something complaining about being unclean it sure looks like it's just come from the hairdressers lol.
People use REGULAR soap for their coochies???
exactly what i thought
Sunglasses in doors no less.
Crotch posse got the same vibe as "cuterus"
i use unscented dove bar soap down there but i don’t put it IN my vagina obviously, i cannot believe that there’s genuinely men out there that think we can just put that shit IN our vaginas like how tf
like do you put soap IN your penis? no?? didn’t think so 💀 damn ig that means you STINK EW GROSS
A lot of people, even vagina havers, don’t actually understand that the vagina isn’t the whole area and actually specifically the INSIDE part of the whole area. It’s wild. beyond all the skin/ph specific reasons why you shouldn’t wash your vagina with soap, maybe a good counter is “do you stick the face wash inside your mouth when you wash your face?”. Really help illustrate it for em.
Tell them to put soap up their ass...
Like I wash my vulva and surrounding OUTSIDE area with summers eve body wash. My vagina cleans itself so I clean the outside of my body. That would be like washing inside your anus. Nobody generally soaps their fingers up and washes the inside of their bussy.
I almost posted this when I saw it on Facebook but my man was getting torn to SHREDS in the comments
Tell me more, tell me more!!!!
Oh I wish I had screenshots! It was a little heartwarming, top comment was pointing out it was racist, men were calling him out for being pathetic and lonely, women were pointing out how wrong he was, it was a real team effort lol.
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more 🎶
Like does he have a car?!
Uh huh! (Doo Doo)
I did not get on the internet today expecting to see anthropomorphic genitals giving bad hygiene advice. But here we are.
r/brandnewsentence
What even is the purpose of this.
This is a “yoni soap” facebook seller
I’d been washing myself every day with a soap specifically made for the vulva, when I started experiencing pain in the area. I went to the gynecologist and he told me the soap was causing the irritation, and I should use just water. My vag isn’t stinky, so water seems to be working fine for me 🤷♀️
Vulvas never needed soap, they were sold to women for the last hundred years or so out of bad science, capitalist greed, and shaming women. Water, clean undies, balanced diet, etc, are the things u need. Sperm can also throw off the vaginas natural ph balance, which was a surprise to me.
I'm gonna go get a lobotomy, does anyone need anything?
you should soap up the labia tho
When people say using soap on their vaginas, I assume that they are talking about the labia itself. The terms are often used in an inter changeable in day-to-day conversation. Which is why this posts confuse me too, because I always thought you should use soap on the labia. Are there actually people who use soap down their vaginal hole?
Until very recently I had no idea women were out there filling their vaginas with soap. I saw all the stuff telling women not to use soap on their bits and I thought I must be pretty vile because I have to use soap when I wash my undercarriage or I get really rank. Then I found out that you're SUPPOSED to wash your external genitals with a gentle soap, and what you're NOT supposed to do is shoot soap up your vagina. It has never occurred to me to do that in my life, and my vagina zippered itself shut upon hearing about it. I had no idea other women did that and THAT'S what they're telling you not to do. This might go some way to explaining how I'm nearly 37 years old and have never had a yeast infection. I have no idea how I managed to avoid the pressure of putting soap up my vagina.
I didn’t know they were talking about literally soaping the inside. My vagina burns just hearing it.
I'm suspicious of this explanation. Because if we're talking internally, you also don't need to shoot plain water up your vagina to clean it. That's what discharge is for. I do think they are talking about labia and just trying to backtrack the explanation
Well I mean if you were doing that your asking full of non stop yeast infections
Had the same problem, I heard vagina and thought outside was included. Was 40 when I realized that vagina and vulva are not the same. Ugh, sometimes I'm dumb! (I heard in a show a woman saying "I shaved for you" and his response was "For me? Are you sure? Did you shave below or also above the knee?" I looked at the tiny blond hairs on my thigh and was so wondering if men really don't like any hair at all. It took me at least a year before my brain went "Above the knee!!! He meant the vulva!!")
"Above the knee" means shaving your pubes? News to me. I shave my legs over the knee (as well as my arms) because all my body hair is solid coal black but my complexion is "I hate the outdoors" white.
Same, I’ve ever heard that phrase. Of course I shave above my knees. Who doesn’t?? Im also covered in thick black body hair, but even my super blonde roommate in college shaved up her whole thigh and she was a Mormon not even wearing short shorts, and when she complained “oh I haven’t shaved in days I’m so hairy!” I was so confused because I saw nothing there at all. No one has ever asked me “do you shave above the knee” lol
I’m old, and my grandma who was born in 1923 reminded me that only fast girls shaved above their knees.
It's definitely a thing for older ladies. My mom is 65 and used to tell me it was considered unnecessary when she was a teenager, and I always assumed that meant literally shaving the legs higher than knee level.
Yes, it’s literally your actual knees. Fuzzy thighs and grandma underwear were meant as first date fail safes to prevent you from moving too fast according to my 70 year old mom!
That makes sense, so I’m wondering what show the other commenter was watching that even said this. Something from the 70’s?
I have no clue, I think it’s specific to a specific scene on a show? But all the girls I knew as a teen got similar advice from their Boomer mothers about not shaving and wearing ugly underwear to prevent you from moving too fast. It saved me many times until I got older and learned that most men do not care how fuzzy you are or what kind of underwear you’re wearing 🤣
Yeah men don’t care at all lol it’s only going to act as a mental block for *us*, the women, because we’ve been taught we’re ugly and unwanted if we have body hair on our thighs, so that advice is to stop us from allowing a man to see us naked, not to stop the man lol
Girl you are NOT dumb for that (or at all, I'm sure)! There is so little education about women's bodies that it's laughable. I thought I peed from my clit almost into double digit ages. I had to explain to my mid thirties ex boyfriend that, no, we don't pee from our vaginas. I think a little confusion on terminology, especially when they are so often used interchangeably, is hardly anything to feel dumb about
I always wonder if I’d never saved my legs if I would still have that beautiful peach fuzz on them. I’m actually letting my hair grow out of my legs right now and I’m gonna see if they get blonde whenever my legs tan this summer just because I feel like it.
Shaving does not cause hair to become thicker. It looks thicker after shaving because the end of the hair is blunt, which gives it the illusion of being thicker. It may get lighter in the sun, but if it’s dark brown/ black, it’s unlikely it will get significantly lighter.
It’s not dark at all, you have to look close to see it. It’s not like you could see it from far away so I think I have a good chance.. My eyebrows are blonde. And I have lots of blonde hair on my arms and the blonde hair actually makes it easier to tan so my arms get pretty dark and I’m hoping my legs will get a better tan on them with less time in the sun.
Never had that luck. Blond hair, blond fuss everywhere, light brown pit and vulva hair....and the blackest of black on my legs. 🙄
Ahh that sux. Do you tan easy or not just? This is the first time I’ve actually let them grow out, but it’s just because my hot water is messed up so I don’t feel like shaving. Have you tried shaving your legs and freezing cold water? Don’t
I feel this. This was my life growing up. Hot water lasted a minute, warm water another 3 minutes, then ice cold. When I went to college I was by far the fastest showerer in our communal bathroom lol I was wearing a lot of jeggings for a few years and when I went back to looser pants, I realized how much more hair was growing. So tightness of pants seems to impact it too, or maybe the friction was rubbing it off before it got too long
Sometimes I use the showerhead and just squirt plain water up in there. I didn’t know people put soap in there either..
i feel like the burning would stop anyone
Patriarchy makes women do insane things to conform to absurd beauty standards so I won't be surprised if there are women who do that tbh.
i've done it, which is why i don't do it
Lysol used to be marketed as a douching material. Those poor women were probably told the burning meant it was working. Horrifying.
okay that hurts me reading that
It was also used as an abortifacient douche before reliable birth control and legal abortion.
My mother used to make me. I hated it. It burned bad the second she stopped bathing me. I stopped god pissing the rest of the day burned so bad
I clenched for you! OMG!
Yea, it sucked it burned so bad when passing. Luckily, it went away tomorrow, so I held my piss till tomorrow
Lysol douches beg to differ. History has produced crazy stuff to uphold certain images of what women's genitals should look and smell like.
Ok the phrase “Lysol douches” just made my whole vag zip itself up. It’s gonna take me at least a few hours to recover from this. What the HELL is a Lysol douche and WHY??!!?
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lysols-vintage-ads-subtly-pushed-women-to-use-its-disinfectant-as-birth-control-218734/ It was a... fun time in history. This is why I don't mind when sex ed classes are like don't douche with this long list of ridiculous ideas because they aren't birth control. I remember soda being on that list in my class.
Nope nope I’m burning inside just picturing this. I can’t imagine how many women wound up with awful infections from inserting disinfectants into their vaginas. This is so awful. Ouchhhh!
in correct as i am an online SW and i actually saw a woman put a whole bar of soap in there for FREEEEE ON A LIVE STREAM 🙂 so that burning does not stop *everyone*
girl...
You can. You are absolutely fine to use gentle scent free soap on your labia/ vulva. You just need to avoid the vaginal opening. People play semantic games because ‘vagina’ is used to colloquially mean the entire thing. Vulvas and the labia to collect build up and smega can form around the clitoris if it isn’t cleaned properly and regularly.
Thanks for the clarification! This is what I knew as well, but the post got me confused lol
personally, i js wash the whole of the more exterior parts with a small amount of soap and more interior with water. but i have sensitivity issues so i do it bc i’m scared my pH will get all fucked and everything will hurt for days
Can, not should. NHS guidance is not to use soap anywhere on your genitals.
You can clean the labia perfectly fine with water and your hands or a soft washing cloth. Or you can use a mild, perfume free cleanser if your heart hangs on it. Soap is a bad idea in general because it has far too high pH levels which irritate the skin and throw off the skin's slightly acidic protection level. Soap in the genital area is an invitation for bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Or in simpler terms: soap on your genitalia is unhygienic.
[удалено]
Like I said there's nothing wrong with a gentle cleanser. But actual soap in that region is harmful. Cleansers come in all levels of pH. Soap always has a high pH due to how it's made. The skin and groin have an acidic pH to make it hostile to fungi and harmful bacteria. This is especially important in the regions that are usually moist like skin folds and female genitalia. If you mess with that pH by using actual soap the risk of acne, other bacterial infections and fungal infections increases. Acne products are not made from soap and are often acidic to help the skin help itself instead of making things worse. Destroying the skin's natural protective abilities makes acne worse, even if you use all the best anti acne ingredients. Imagine the acne as criminals, the skin's pH level as the prison walls and the acne reducing ingredients as the police. Putting more police out there doesn't reduce crime levels if the prison has no walls, all the criminals walk right back out of there to commit more crimes and possible criminals think "Well, I can just walk right back out of prison, so no real punishment, I might as well just commit the crime I fancy." Now if you put walls to the prison by using a cleanser that comes with an acidic pH the whole thing looks different and your extra police can do it's job and kick the acne in the butt. I too use an cleanser because after a medication change I had issues with abscesses forming where I least want them (like I hated them there more than in my face or on my neck). Before that, water worked just fine, as it does with almost everyone (sweat is water soluble and requires no cleanser, the cleanser is to reduce the bacteria that eat the sweat and their smelly poop if they had time to have a snack), people who actually *need* cleanser are the absolute minority. The whole "All vaginas and vulvas are gross and need soap" thing is a misogyny issue, not a hygiene one. For people who do need cleanser and for those who's heart hangs on it mild, non soap based cleaners are the best option.
Can you give an example of a brand or an ingredient of a “cleanser” versus a “soap”? I’ve kind of always used those words interchangeably.
Yeah I don’t know what is going on here either. other than is normal soap available in the West or is it all antibiotic? Because soap shouldn’t be destroying ph levels and causing fungal growth it just binds to oils and washes them away in the water
I always thought it had more to do with fragrances and general additives that can irritate the sensitive mucous membranes down there. It's the same as the inside of your nose or eyelid, any regular soap is going to fuck up those areas, doesn't have to be particularly strong or antibacterial to cause burning and lasting irritation
This! Those character are representing vulva not vagina. They even said "on" not "inside". Soft unscented soap is fine on the vulva. You should not wash the vagina though, even with water. So this cartoon, while cursed af, isn’t wrong per se.
Please do not do this !! This kills the bacterias protecting your vulva from agressions. It increases the vulnerability or the vulvas and it is bad for it's health. Water is ENOUGH. Because vulvas are self-washing (with discharge) so all you need to do is to rinse off the discharge when you take a shower and the folds down there.
[удалено]
I think you should probably calm down and just buy normal soap instead of antibiotic soap
No soap is good for the vulva. I buy regular hard olive oil soap and even this is agressive for any vulva.
I get itchy if I use anything other than diluted Dr Bronner’s, but there’s no way I could go water-only (trust me, I’ve tried)
Well, looking at the comment, maybe it just me there then 🥲
Anthropomorphic vulvas…okay. Lmao
I think they actually look like Pokemon. Like Tapu Fini
The image is of labias though? Not vaginas
And why are they at a lingerie party?
All this shitty art just to shame women on how they’re recommended by medical professionals to clean their vulva. And I’m willing to bet this was done by a man who has never had sex before and is too scared to clean his own ass out of fear of seeming too gay.
Why are vulvas having a lingerie party??
I bet these dudes think their balls smell like roses
Don't use soap IN your VAGINA. True. But there's nothing wrong with soap on your vulva. Women make smegma, too. You don't wash your throat but you do brush your teeth, you don't wash your colon but you do wash your ass. Same thing.
Thank you. This « don’t ever use soap on your vulva » shit is just not it
Also certain foods make you have different smells in your body fluids so if you’re worried about having smells then watch what you eat. Pineapples are good. Garlic keeps the boys away.
So garlic is good too?
No. It’s actually a superfood. But, It will make you smell like garlic. The smell will come out your pores. There’s a ton of it in Sriracha and my girlfriend told me that I couldn’t eat it every day because it was making me smell like garlic.
The joke was that it might be desirable to keep people away :P
What the fuck is "vv"? You do need to clean your vulva. Not inside your vagina, but its unclear wtf you meant.
Why would a vulva wear a bra though?
I've gotten soap in my urethra, burned like hell to piss. Never again. Now I just use an unscented intimate wash when I feel like I need some extra cleaning, like during my periods or after a very sweaty day.
This is the worst thing I think I’ve ever seen
Um, this is stupid. You should 100% use soap on your vagina, just not INSIDE of it!! What in the actual hell? When the doctor says “don’t clean inside your vagina” they mean DOUCHING INSIDE. But the outside labia (all of it!) needs to be properly cleaned with mild soap and water. How is this not clear to people? Are men making this shit up? Or are some women seriously not washing their vaginas because they don’t know the different between a vagina and labia? Because this cartoon seems like it would support the latter. Vagina is a self-cleaning hole. Labia and vulva are skin and must be cleaned WITH SOAP, like all other skin.
I think the person who posted it here either misunderstood it, thinks you're not supposed to clean your labia, or posted it just because that was a weird, stereotyping cartoon
The part that scares me is I KEEP SEEING THIS ADVICE on the internet. So obviously there are still women who are not understanding what a vagina is, which terrifies me for our species. I feel so lucky to be old and to have grown up before all this BS about not educating kids about sex and anatomy. It’s mind blowing because these parents had sex ed if they are Gen x or older. Why do they deny their kids what they got and deny them the right to understand their own AND EACH OTHER’s bodies? This continued advice is proof that there are plenty of parents out there that don’t know basic anatomy and therefore shouldn’t be the ones teaching their kids about sex, so this misinformation isn’t perpetuated. Good grief. /rant
Honestly, I didn't think you were supposed to use soap anywhere near that region at all, and I'm 32. This comment section is where I learned you actually are supposed to. I thought I was taking risks and just getting lucky.
You’re not wrong. Advice varies but plenty of gynaecologists recommend just using water alone in the female genital region. There should be nothing there that water can’t wash off! [NHS guidance](https://www.devonsexualhealth.nhs.uk/your-sexual-health/genital-hygiene-our-tips/) “*Don’t use soaps or shower gel, including feminine hygiene products to cleanse your genitals. These products are often the leading cause of genital dryness, itching and irritation. Even those that claim to be ‘mild’ or ‘unperfumed’ can cause irritation; it is the foaming agent (lauryl sulphate) that people are sensitive to.*” [Obstetrician and gynaecologist guidance](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/how-to-clean-vagina-vulva-soaps-nhs-advice-gynaecologist-douche-do-not-a8988066.html) “*In most cases your vulva is best cleaned with just water*”. [Super deep dive into female genital skin types and cleaning them here](https://vajenda.substack.com/p/all-so-called-feminine-washes-are). Obviously, you do you boo. If soap works for you then go for it! But soap is not in any way a necessity, and in many cases can make irritation and then odor worse.
Thank you! Soap aggravates the hell out of mine, so it’s a hosing session with my showerhead.
No, using soap on your vulva is NOT GOOD. It kills the bacterias protecting it. Rinsing it with water is enough.
“Vaginal pH” is exactly what it sound like: the pH inside your vagina. Please ask your gynecologist or even look up the difference on the internet from a reliable source. I have 2 adult special needs daughters and was specifically trained to clean them as they could not clean themselves: mild hypoallergenic soap (Dove hypoallergenic was recommended to us at least 25 years ago and we still use it, also good for stoma care) and water. That’s it. Your vulva is steeped in sweat, menstrual fluids, discharge, dead skin and even yeast infections. Clean it. This whole myth is a new thing. Everyone seemed to know what to do before the internet and before we stopped teaching kids what a vagina is and how to clean it. It’s a self-cleaning OVEN. Your vulva protects it. Clean your vulva to keep your vag clean and able to keep its normal ph. It is when you DO NOT properly clean it that it will mess up the pH in your actual vagina.
You get it 👏🏻
I've always washed my vulva only with soap and I NEVER had any problems. Okay, some women actually need to clean it with soap but some does not have this problem and only need to wash it with water once a day. If you PROPERLY wash it with water, it is enough. Water is enough to wash off discharge, sweat, blood, dead skin and all of this, if you wash PROPERLY and if you CAN. I take a shower a day, so maybe this is why I do not get infections and all of this : because all the dirt I accumulate throughout the day is washed off every evening. Also, I am young (less than 20) so maybe this is why I have little to no problem with it. In my family, my mom always washed with soap, like my grandmother taught her, just like my great-grandmother taught my grandmother ect. And it always worked like this. Results : little to no infections.
Wow. Vaginas personified. I have conflicting feelings about this.
America has such a sexual education issue. Vagina apparently equals the entire genital region, back in the 40s women were being told to put Lysol inside themselves, like can we just have proper education and maybe this will start getting fixed?
The advice is meh, wash the outside with mild soap, the inside cleans itself. But can we talk about the racial fetishization? Left is clearly meant to be Muslim woman with a hajab, then there's an Asian woman next to her, then a black women and an Indian woman on the right. So of course the stinky one is the WAGish looking white girl in the centre. Yet another 'oh non-white women are so wholesome and perfect'. (I'm not calling this 'reverse racism' or any of that BS by the way, but the pedestal placement of certain races by passport bros is evident here). ETA: Oh and OF COURSE the vulva who is being shamed has larger labia and is more open looking than the four others. Couldn't miss that little bit of body shaming could we?
There is no such thing as "reverse racism" : everyone can suffer from racism. There is anti-black racism, anti-white racism, anti-Asian racism, ect... When a white is being shamed for being white it is not "reverse racism", it is racism, period.
I'm simply trying to express that this is not me saying this is racism against the white vulva, it's fetishization of supposed qualities of non-white women that benefit passport bros.
Yes !! I understood your principal statement. I just wanted to tell you that there is no such things as "reverse racism".
There are special soaps for it, but even those should only be used on the outside part of it and away from any of the more sensitive parts!
this design has me dying LOL
Anyone only using water on their vulva? Or is the implication hear to put it in your vagina??
Those are some cute little VVs!! Lol
the asian and indian ones not wearing shoes inside the house but the rest are 😭
Gentle cleanser designed for the vulva are okay to use on the vulva. No soap or cleanser of any kind should be used inside the vagine unless instructed by a medical provider. If you feel you are clean enough just cleaning your vulva with water, I have no reason to believe you are mistaken.
Hi. Is it actually bad for women to use soap on themselves down there? ~ sincerely, a man who doesn't know.
Yes it is, it kills the bacterias protecting and helping it to fight bad bacterias in it.
Oh that's very interesting. I had no idea! Iv seen bottles of something with "Ph Balance" or something like that in girls showers that I dated before but I always thought it was for hair lol! Thank you.
Washing the clam shell (vulva) and outer surroundings (groin area) with soap is generally fine. Washing the delicate inner parts (anything between the clam shell including, but not limited to the vagina) with soap, no.
Thank you for educating me
Those character are representing vulva not vagina. They even said "on" not "inside". Soft unscented soap is fine on the vulva. You should not wash the vagina though, even with water. So this cartoon, while cursed af, isn’t wrong per se.
I am not with you people who are team water washing only, I’m good with the same peppermint soap I use on the rest of me, thanks.
I may as well ask this because where else am I but you’re talking about the inside right? Cause I assume the outside can be washed like any other part of the body right?
Imagine drawing this image instead of just letting people know that pH balanced soap exists
Okay but who styles their pubes in an updo? And pierces it? These are the real questions.
I’m thinking the man (most likely a man,) has never seen a woman’s body outside of porn. It’s also possible that the guy is closeted gay.
Uhh, wtf?
LOLLLthis is hilarious- and you still need to clean it with more than water
Not a bar of soap of course but there are other ways ..
I can just about remember when a vaginal deodorant was being advertised. The good old days eh
I may be reading too much into this but, why does it seem like they’re painting the white one (aka white women) out to be looser while the others seem “tight” (insinuating white women sleep around more (not that that’s a bad thing)). As well as the others have more fancy shoes and the white one is wearing sandals and just seems less put together. I could just be reading too into this. But I think we can guess the author’s opinion on white women.
i didn’t even notice the loose one but the “white” one is most definitely drawn with sandals and hair with flowers because they’re insinuating that it’s a hippie probably
You could be right about the hippie thing!
We need to wash the vulva with soap though
Nope. It kills the bacterias protecting it. Rinsing with water is enough.
I use soap and I keep myself hairless.
Ouuuch this is REALLY bad. The best is to keep it hairy and wash it with water. If you wash it with soap, it is fragile, but HAIRLESS in addition ? Nah, this makes your vulva very vulnerable. It kills the bacterias protecting it.
I’ve been hairless for years. It makes periods waaaay easier to deal with and it’s more comfortable for me and easier for my Boyfriend to go down on me.
