If we vaginas cucumber cleaning found out, turned our first thoughts establishing Goop. After all, it's right there - up to start your day with a refreshing to steam vaginally .

But surprisingly, Gwyneth does not take credit for this experience widely criticized. a large number of "experts" health and wellness advocates that women participate in cleaning the vagina by inserting a freshly peeled cucumber in your sacred space instead. Such "experts" who is known as Gigi Dowell on Facebook, says the cucumber "clean Yoni" and "pH -. Establish balance" Dowell not but alone is not. There are lists of articles, blogs and even frightening, videos (who dare not googling!) Existing practice in the form of DIY this supposed health.

But what go for real doctors? Do not buy.

Recently, it went viral Dowell for them instead of the explicit image of cucumbers that had special use and cleverly carved into her Yoni and declares that it is necessary to use a twist "and exercise" for him really, product benefits cleaning.

But wait! There's more! Dowell added that as a nice little bonus if you do not use the whole "and exercise" to really clean your special flowers, some other areas can drive are used, you know, to keep the "energy flow".

However, if you are considering a cleaning itself cuke, we have bad news for you: have talked doctors, and they are very please please keep sticking cucumbers on the lady bits.

In fact, a free medical - Lecture Dr. Jen Gunter, the Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is certified famous debunked some Goop "health practices" a nice written clearly blog about the practice cucumber cleansing.

Dr. Gunter says that, in general, is probably not a good idea "to get in a position blossom end rot" some remain in your body. But most importantly, it was very clear, set up by the use of some clever plug that vaginas are not dirty. (Yelling is Gunter, not us.)

"This idea that some sort of vaginal cleaning is necessary when a peeled cucumber or" "washed sold in pharmacies, not misogyny disguised as health care and listen" female, he wrote.

In fact, the use of such "cleansing" writes that your body actually puts you at risk.

"Harmful lactobacilli and tried to clean the vaginal mucosa woman increase the risk of contracting HIV or gonorrhea when exposed," he continues. "Paradoxically, it is also causing the smell."

Dr. Jen reminds women of the power of their vaginas that are self-cleaning and high-performance systems. Your vagina is not very dirty, because it is always clean himself, so if someone tries to "clean" to say with a cucumber with initiative, or any other piece of products, we recommend you to quickly plant fruit or directly start at and they run very far.
