Hi, I'm Viola. I was raised to openly communicate about all things aside from family business with outsiders. I have a vagina and do not mind talking about things that have to do with vaginas, be it health care, grooming, sex . . . well I'm sure you get the picture. So recently, I had a discussion with a friend about Vagisil products. The discussion arose from us being given the wash products along with other women. From some of the statements my friend made I got the impression that she felt the products represented something nasty and she did not want to be associated with it at all. Immediately I reacted. So you mean to tell me you think Vagisil and its' products are a negative thing? I mean hello you have a vagina and I'm sure you take care of it (at least I'd hope). I went into how I understood they have vaginal itch creams and that is something most, if not all of us, are familiar with. I get that the cream kind of has a negative rep for whatever reason. What gave the cream more negative "shine" was the Love & Hip Hop Hollywood episode where Ray J dumped out Teairra Marí's things which included Vagisil cream. That show and scene, ratchet I know, but still it helped my point. The episode prior to that one Ray J's girlfriend Princess tried to put Teairra on blast about having to use the cream as though she were nasty (which it later came out that she used it due to messing around with Ray). However, there wasn't a rise of women backing Teairra and properly caring for her lady parts. Yes I did go there in conversation with my friend.
This friend went on about how our bodies are made to cleanse itself and these sort of products are not needed. I agree with part of her statement, but again, I beg to differ. At this point I'm thinking, sheesh do I really know this lady? I have never looked at her and thought, what is going on up there in that head of hers. Now I totally agree with the statement "our bodies are made to cleanse itself," however there are more things to take into consideration. In the beginning, humans wore no clothing, meaning privates were aired out more often. Styles of fashion in prior generations and centuries did not include skin tight jeans. Due to tight clothing, sexual activity and less air circulation, vaginas are basically gasping for air. That can cause problems; itching, yeast infections, bacteria build up, and even odors. Products like Vagisil help tame some of that aside from medications, proper cleansing (warm water and maybe a mild soap) and going panty-less.
The conversation went further in discussion about douching and how vaginas were never meant to smell like roses and peaches. (This we both agreed on). I'm bringing this to you all in wanting to know your opinions on vaginal health care and products like Vagisil and douches. Feel free to speak your real by hitting the comment button.
