If you're wondering about household items to put in your vagina and what to avoid, read on!
Household Objects That Should Not Go in Your Vagina
1. An Electric Toothbrush
While the vibration from an electric toothbrush might be appealing, this is one of many household objects you should never put inside your vagina. The delicate tissue down there is at risk of scraping and irritation from the toothbrush head. The bacteria found on your toothbrush is also a concern to be aware of. If you’re interested in experiencing the vibration from your toothbrush, use it on the outside of your vagina for clitoral stimulation
2. A Hairbrush Handle
While there may be some phallic appeal to a hairbrush handle, it’s important not to insert it into your vagina. The hard handle and sharp edges that most hair brushes feature can cause trauma to the vagina. And that’s not the only risk. It’s possible that the brush could get lodged inside your vagina, which would be a pretty traumatic experience.
3. Any Sharp Objects
This should go without saying, but your vagina is an incredibly important part of your body, and it deserves to be treated with love! The muscles down there You should ever put anything sharp inside your vagina! There’s a lot of blood flow to this area, so even the smallest cut can be pretty detrimental.
Foods That Should Not Go in Your Vagina
4. Fruits and Vegetables
Even the most natural and organic fruits and vegetables have lots of bacteria and other potential irritants on them. By putting fruits and vegetables inside your vagina, you’re compromising your body’s delicate balance and could put it at risk!
5. Chocolate Syrup
While chocolate syrup can have a role in foreplay, it shouldn’t ever go inside your vagina. The sugar and other ingredients can not only irritate the vaginal walls, but it can also throw the balance chemical balance out of whack.
6. Whipped Cream
The same applies to whipped cream. Great for foreplay, not so much for the inside of your vagina. The other downside is that once it gets inside your vagina if you do have a reaction, it’s going to be hard to get it all out. So, better to just refrain.
Products and Tools That Should Not Go in your Vagina
7. Douches
This old-fashioned solution for cleaning your vagina is a big no-no. Your body knows how to regulate your natural pH balance. By douching, people throw their natural body chemistry out of whack. Avoid douching, and your vagina will be much happier for it.
8. Low-quality Toys
There are a lot of sex toys out there, but not all are created equally! It’s important to avoid any toys or devices that are porous or have seams, as they are hard to clean and tend to hold bacteria. Toys made of low-quality materials should also be avoided because those cheap materials can harm your vagina!
9. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is great for a lot of holistic solutions, but your vagina is not one of them. Tea tree oil is acidic, which means it could potentially burn your vaginal walls, so definitely stay away from this option when you’re looking for natural lubricants!
