here is now a new craze for the usage of
va.gina tightening sticks, or wands for ladies out there who feel their
down below is not as tight as it should be
These are sticks of made of ground up
plants, herbs, and other mysterious substances, that those worried about
their tightness are encouraged to insert inside their va.ginas for two
minutes and they are being sold online.
The sellers promise that the stick will
tighten and ‘clean’ the v.agina, with one company suggesting the
resulting tightness will ‘make you feel wanted again.’
Right. So this is for our partners. So he’ll want us again – now that our v.aginas aren’t giant caves of despair.

It’s also claimed that the sticks will eliminate v.aginal discharge.
And this is where we remind everyone,
once again, that the va.gina is a self-cleaning, self-regulating,
generally wonderful thing.
It’s not supposed to be a pencil-narrow
suction cup, and it’s most definitely NOT supposed to be discharge-free
(discharge is all part of our lovely cleaning process. Accept it. Love
it).
We won’t even get into the very damaging
idea that women need to ‘tighten ourselves’ to make themselves
desirable to men, because frankly, we could argue on about that for
hours.
So let’s just focus on all the potential
negative effects these sticks could have on your va.gina, remembering
that these products have not been properly tested or regulated by any
health-themed governing body.
Dr Jen Gunter explains that the chemicals in these sticks work to temporarily dry out the va.gina – a very bad thing.
She writes: ‘The lack of wetness and
pain from the resulting abrasions may also cause the pelvic floor to
spasm during se.x (not in a good way) and this will tighten the va.ginal
opening (which can make insertion painful).
‘Practices that dry the va.gina are
known to increase the transmission of se.xually transmitted infections.
never mind make s.ex painful for the woman.
‘If the Japanese v.aginal stick can only
be inserted for 2 minutes then it is almost certainly a direct caustic
effect from chemicals.
‘But if it does have some effect on the
v,agina it’s like over washing your hands until they are dried and
cracked and bleeding, but achieved in 2 minutes. In the v.agina.’
Ouch.
And, as Dr Jen reminds us, va.ginas are SUPPOSED to be relaxed and wet during s.ex. That’s what makes se.x pleasurable.
So, to recap. Please, please do not use herbal sticks to ‘tighten’ your va.gina. Don’t put any herbs up there, in fact.
If you’re genuinely feeling concerned about tightness, we’d recommend trying kegels.
Your v.agina is amazing and can pretty much left alone to do its business. Love it and leave it be.
