Why not use toothpaste as
feminine wash?
Ok. Let’s talk about women’s health this time.
I guess when I was a teen when I got this weird-absurd advise
about using toothpaste…(from our herbalist neighbor).
I already forgot about till recently that I am so curious about
the dangers of wearing panty liners every day and douching.
Anyway, you can’t begin to imagine my horror when I've heard of
it!!Whatt!!!Toothpaste?!!!
and she has been using it for decades!!!
If I don't know her I might ask - What kind of crack is she on?? Is
she trying to stay " minty fresh" down there? Or does she has teeth
down there? Toothpaste is for the mouth! It prevents gingivitis Not
vaginitis. Hope she doesn't use a toothbrush too!! ^_^
One of my weird beauty tricks for toothpaste is, I use it to dry
my pimples well that’s different story.
Well based on research the same bacteria 'down there' can
also find in the mouth.
Even some OB-Gyne advise it, especially during red days but use low PH toothpaste to avoid
dryness.
How about 12hr antibacterial toothpaste protection??Is it
more effective?! LOL.
There are few toothpaste products out there claiming an all in one magic toothpaste that can cure
anything, anytime and can be a feminine wash too.
I haven't tried this and I’m not recommending nor advising anyone
to use toothpaste. I’m just writing about this bizarre scenario. ^^
Per Dr. Quang T. Nguyen, “Toothpaste is not indicated for cleaning any part of
the body aside from the mouth, teeth, and gums. There are products on the
market that are indicated for feminine hygiene, although douching is not
recommended because it eliminates helpful bacteria and leaves a woman
susceptible to infections by yeast and harmful bacteria.”
If you have feminine problems always seek the advice of your OB –Gyne. Using products that you don’t know might cause complications
in the long run.
Importantly, what you
eat plays an important part. Vegetarians usually smell/taste best down there.
If you're not vegetarian, you can lessen
fish/meat/garlic/onion intake. Eat
yogurt almost everyday, any yogurt, frozen or cream yogurt because it has good
bacteria that helps clean your tummy.
Drinking Pineapple juice is best too, of course washing regularly also helps a lot.
So sisters stay –
Sexy, Taste Yummy and Smell Good Down
There!! :)
