I don’t understand that either, actually. Doesn’t the vagina just pretty much always produce secretions? Not huge amounts, necessarily, but there’s always something by the end of the day. More or less depending on arousal and where I am in the cycle.
I have read, since I do not know from expereince, that a dry vagina is very uncomfortable.
Hoots vary I suppose, but I could douche twice a day and change pants 3 times and still have some residue. Some of it’s cervical fluid (which is only copious around ovulation), but mostly it is just lubrication. All I have to do is have a thought…
Which means your twat works differently than mine, with less viscous mucus, which is fine. We all have our own twats that are unique and special like flowers or snowflakes. What works for mine won’t work for yours. Some people can skip a day washing their hair, others can’t. Some people need moisturizer on their skin, others don’t. Some people need to do a little internal twat cleansing to feel clean, others don’t. It’s all good. Stop worrying about other peoples’ twats.
Good Goddess, my sisters! Let’s pull ourselves together here! If we keep comparing hoots like this, pretty soon we’ll be no better than…than…than men! :eek:
Hoots. You mean “hoots.” TYFYT
Wow.

"OMG. You’ve got to be kidding. I just heard about a magazine ad that’s got me steaming mad. Check out this full page Summer’s Eve ad in Woman’s Day magazine. The title: “Confidence at Work: How to Ask For a Raise.” The very first suggestion in the eight tips on how to ask for a raise?
“#1 Start with your usual routine and all the things you do to feel your best, including showering with Summer’s Eve feminine wash or throwing a packet of Summer’s Eve Feminine Cleansing Cloths into your bag for a quick freshness pick-me-up during the day…”
Well, when your only tool is a hammer…
I’d just like to say that someone, either here or in the other Summer’s Eve inspired thread, mentioned either dilute vinegar or baking soda. Could I just mention that…
-
They’re by no means equivalent, and if ultra-dilute vinegar approximates natural vaginal pH, soda will just make it alkaline, and
-
On no account use both at the same time unless you are after active deep-down cleansing like a Harpic tablet. :eek:
So…anyone else tempted to email the makers of Summer’s Eve with a piece of their mind for that horrible misogynistic bit of drivel?
Unless you have an infection or haven’t washed in a while you vulva and vagina will not smell unpleasant.
I’ve seen a lot of vulvas- this is a fact I can attest to.
Last week I performed 10 cervical smears, for a start.
Point of fact, I’d rather do gynae examinations than examine feet.
And yes, I’ve spent hours of my life I will not get back explaining the menstrual cycle and normal monthly changes in discharge to women who really should not be hearing it for the first time from their doctor, in their 20s or 30s.
Summer’s Eve can suck it- they make money from women’s insecurity and I hope that backlash from this ad bites them in the bum.
I had an American friend when I was in my twenties who was aghast I’d never heard of douching. I tried it just for the experience and never again - seemed odd and still does. Any rooting to be done is performed by the boyfriend thank you very much and he’s not rooting for “chunks” he roots to make me w00t!
w00t root!
Say that 10 times fast.
You ladies know “root” is an Aussie euphemism for F@&k, right?
Oddly appropriate, isn’t it.
I think a “stiff letter” campaign is called for. Very stiff. Like on cardboard or something.
It’s payback for the “Love your hoot, don’t douche and root” saying that you’re responsible for. A saying that pops into my head at inopportune times and makes me giggle like a loon, I’ll have you know. Fair exchange, says I.
