5 Things You Can Do to Make Your Vagina Taste Better

@deonblack

For some reason, society has taught us that vaginas are often smelly and gross and that it’s not natural for them to be such. I’m here to tell you that’s all a lie. All vaginas have their own unique scent, and they are beautiful just the way they are.

There are times however when maybe there’s an infection down there, or we aren’t eating right. And those are the times when things can get a little funky down there. The good news is, though, there are few things you can do to make your vagina smell better and ultimately taste better when things aren’t going the way you’d like.

I know what you’re probably thinking. Can you really change the way your vagina tastes?

And the answer is, that it really depends. As someone who struggles on and off with BV (bacterial vaginosis), I can tell you that when the PH of your vagina is disrupted by an infection, it can definitely cause it to smell bad. Which will ultimately cause it to taste bad.

So here are some things I’ve learned over the years and tips you can use to prevent this from happening to you.

5 Things You Can Do to Make Your Vagina Taste Better

1. Change Your Diet

This is huge. Having a healthy vagina starts with having a healthy diet. It’s true what they say, you are what you eat. And what you eat has to come out somewhere even if that somewhere is peering through the smell of your vagina.

Drink more water (hydration is crucial), eat your fruits and veggies, and really take inventory of what you’re putting into your body.

2. Don’t Clean With Soap

I’m so sick of all of these feminine products claiming to help balance your PH and clean your vagina. The truth is, any kind of soap or feminine wash (specifically made for your vagina) isn’t good for you. Your body has a natural way of cleaning itself down there and it shouldn’t be interrupted by using these products.

All you need is good ole fashion water to clean with. If you’re having medical problems you should of course see a doctor. But other than that you should not be scrubbing your vagina with any kind of soap.

3. Get Vagina Steams

I love vagina steams. Though they aren’t something you need to do or even should do on a regular basis, they can be good for you on occasion. If you don’t know what a vagina steam is, it’s an old natural remedy that uses herbs to cleanse the vagina via steaming it.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of them. They’ve helped me tremendously, in a number of different ways. So if you’re struggling with your lower region, this is definitely worth looking into. I’ve also been told that they do in fact make your vagina taste better, but that’s just my personal experience.

4. Exercise Regularly

Getting in the habit of exercising on a regular basis is good for regulating your body’s PH balance. It’s actually good for just about anything related to your overall health and wellness, but in this particular case, it’s good for the vagina.

You don’t have to start weight lifting but get into the habit of doing daily cardio. Go for long walks. Sweat a little. And try getting in the habit of doing your Kegels.

5. Toss The Thongs

I know, I know they’re so cute and sexy. But a lot of women don’t know that thongs are a haven for unwanted bacteria. Especially if you’re predisposed to UTIs and BV. They allow an easy route for bacteria to travel from the anus to the vagina, which I don’t have to tell you isn’t a good thing.

This isn’t always true for people who wear thongs, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Toss the thongs and wear underwear that is made out of cotton. Cotton underwear is breathable and breathable underwear equals a healthy vagina.
