You’re literally so welcome!
There are so many wacky beauty trends and myths out there, even when it comes to your down there area. Although you would think that people would just accept the way their vagina looks, smells, and feels, they don’t – and then they begin trying new things to try to change stuff, or make stuff “better.” This results in lots of myths, urban legends, and empty promises. The great thing about your vagina is that it’s a self-cleaning body part that should be relatively low-maintenance… so why are people constantly trying to make it high-maintenance?! I don’t know, but I can tell you one thing: a lot of the stuff you hear that you should do down there will probably do more harm than good.
Your vay-jay-jay is super sensitive, and tampering with it can result in irritation or infections. Don’t want that to happen to you? I didn’t think so. Here are 12 things you should never, ever do to your vagina… no matter which popular celebrity swears it works.
Ingrown hairs??

That Our Vaginas Change After Too Much Sex: That you can tell how much sex a woman has had by looking at her genitals. No you can't. Also, that having a lot of sex makes the vagina "loose." Apparently some people think the vaginal muscles are magic since apparently they're the only muscles in the body that get weaker with more use.
Um, no. This is yet another stereotype that allows society to slut-shame women.
Your Period Stops in the Water: That if you get in the water while on your period, nothing will come out because it stops the bleeding momentarily. I used to believe this, luckily it wasn't me who got in the pool while on her period and had everyone screaming at her for being disgusting. Still feel bad for the poor girl.
A lot of my friends have eye shadow palettes from years ago, which is not good. Your eye shadows do in fact expire and start breeding bacteria. Powder shadows need to go after about two years, while cream shadows need to be tossed after about six months.
No One Really Cares About Your Mistakes: People are too caught up in their own insecurities to notice other people's mistakes. No one is going to notice if your eyeliner isn't quite perfect or if you forgot to shave your legs. No one is going to care that you are having lunch alone or watching a movie by yourself. Remember that one time that you blurted out the wrong thing in front of a zillion people? No one there even remembered it even happened except you (when you play the scene over and over in your head, mortified, late at night when you can't sleep).
For some women, periods make them feel empowered and in touch with their personal realm of womanhood. They’re not ashamed of their periods, they’re emboldened by them! Others take more of a “WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING?” approach to their period, and end up in a fetal position with a heating pad and a bottle of pain killers for an entire day. Some are totally indifferent to their periods, and just hate have to deal with ruining their underwear.
Then there are those folks who would probably have more of a solid opinion of their period if they knew when the hell it was going to happen next. Or if they knew if this period was going to be ultra heavy for the fourth time in a row. For them, their periods are almost always irregular and cause more confusion than passion. If you can relate and want to know what on earth is going on with your uterus, here’s everything you need to know about irregular periods.
