Welcome to this month's issue of HER Letters. First thing first Happy New month my Queen.
Did you know that May is the month of roses?
Who doesn't love roses, except you're allergic to them oopsđ
Hope you enjoyed the last issue girl, and Iâm glad you now have a broader knowledge of what PMS, PCOS and PPSM are all about and how district they are.
Remember your feelings are super duper valid and any dude whoâs out there saying âItâs not that deepâ show them some karate movesâŚ
Just kidding, I think educating them will be enoughđ
In this edition we are going to talk about quite an interesting topic and permit me to whisper âcontroversialâ.
Iâm going to be your new Sherlock Holmes and uncover the truth about vaginal health and how to care for that beauty down there.
I'm sure youâve heard about a ton of things concerned with how to care for your vagina, Tiktok has a ridiculous number of videos with different tips and tricks, itâs hard to tell what is true and whatâs not.
Let's be real, most guys on that app are just after the views, so don't be surprised if they tell you to drink rice water to boost vaginal healthđâď¸
But thatâs exactly what this edition is about my Queen!
My aim is to prove to you that whatâs popular isnât necessarily true, I'm picking out the most popular fallacies about vaginal health and shooting them down.
Stay with me, now.
MYTH #1
âA loose vagina means too much sexâ
If we didnât have your attention before, we sure we have it nowđ
Weâve all heard this. Some of us have even come to believe it but thatâs not necessarily the case.
A loose vagina is caused by a variety of factors, exercise, childbirth, significant weight changes, among others.
The most interesting part?
You donât have to worry over a loose vagina, especially after childbirth because your bodyâs snapback game is up there!
Yes, your vagina naturally tightens again but if you want to speed up the process, try pelvic floor exercises like bridges and wall sits.
MYTH #2
âVaginal discharge is badâ
Vaginal discharge is, in fact, your vaginaâs way of cleaning itself. In fact, a vagina without discharge is likely to be a vagina with a problem.
So normal vaginal discharge is completely okay! It is only when discharge changes colour, smell, or consistency that there may be cause for concern.
MYTH #3
âYou need to clean your vagina with special productsâ
No. You donât. Matter of fact, you may be endangering yourself doing this.
You see, your vagina has its way of taking care of itself so you really donât have to do much.
A simple rinse is okay!
MYTH #4
âVaginas look the sameâ
You may not necessarily have heard this from anyone as this is typically a general assumption.
But every vagina is as unique as you are!
The labia, clitoris, and even the vaginal opening vary from person to person in size, shape, and colour.
Even more proof that you are the only one of you!
MYTH #5
âYou can âresetâ your vagina with certain detox
treatmentsâ
No. Your vaginaâs perfectly fine. If it needs resetting, itâll do it all by itself.
You truly donât have to worry yourself so much. Youâre good, girl!
From head-to-toe, your body takes care of itself, doing whatever needs to be done of its own accord.
Activities like drinking water, eating properly, and getting enough rest are so that you donât end up antagonizing your body.
Your body, like you, does not like getting unnecessary help, and if you do too much, you may end up creating problems that werenât there before.
So live life, breathe air. Youâre perfect, darling.
