Sex and Dating : Vaginal dabbing

Vaginal dabbing

Although it’s exploded with popularity thanks to everyone's favourite time-destroying, video-sharing app, vabbing isn’t anything new. Vabbing – or vaginal dabbing, to be formal – is the art of strategically placing vaginal fluid in key areas like behind the ear or on the wrists. This, advocates believe, is a potential way of becoming more alluring to romantic and sexual interests.

Vabbing had already been written about in books prior to going viral online, but TikTok has put the idea in front of the masses. TikToker Mandy Lee was the first to bring vabbing to social media, and now more and more women are revealing stories of men falling at their feet thanks to the unconventional seduction method.

Vabbing works on the theory of pheromones. Pheromone research is nothing new, and the study of human chemical communication has been widely investigated. It was once believed that all mammals – humans included – could attract a mate of the same species by secreting signals through scent. However, its role in humans remains uncertain and unproven. Scientists question a human’s ability to process pheromone signals with no functioning vomeronasal organ (a sensory organ found in the roof of the mouth of many animals.)
What are the health implications of vabbing?

No matter your stance on the subject, if you want to try vabbing, you’ll need to practise good hygiene. The ‘rules of vabbing’ have been shared far and wide, and include:

● Washing your hands both before and after

● Not allowing areas you’ve ‘vabbed’ to touch anything or anyone

● Wiping down gym equipment before and after use

● Refraining from vabbing if you’re on your period or have an STI

● Making sure you get checked by a professional if you think you sense an unusual or bad odour

When WH asked Clinical GP and Female Health Specialist Dr Hana Patel about the trend, she said: 'Normal vaginal secretions do not smell and are not offensive or stained.' So, if you decide to get up close and personal with vabbing and realise the smell is not what you expected, this could be a sign to get checked out by a professional.
Dr Patel also warns that there could be negative health implications associated with vabbing. 'There is the potential to get an infection. We have bacteria and fungi on our skin, and if we upset the vagina’s natural balance, it can cause a localised infection. If you do try vabbing, avoid any broken skin, the areas around your eyes, and anywhere near your mouth.'

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Another day, another bizarre thing women need to do with their vagina. If it’s not steaming the poor thing, it’s hoisting a jade egg inside it. Or spending unnecessary amounts of money on an overpriced douching product – not realising that vaginas are, in fact, self-cleansing – and possibly giving yourself an infection in the process. Maybe you’ve even tried putting a clove of garlic up there. Or a sprig of parsely.

But hold onto your herbs, because there’s something new for you to try: “vabbing”. The term itself is a portmanteau that, put simply, means vaginal dabbing. According to TikTok, where the trend has recently gone viral, the idea is that women are using their bodily fluids as perfume in order to attract others. Yes, really.

In one of the first videos detailing the trend – which has since been deleted – TikTok user and influencer Mandy Lee hailed vabbing as the latest dating hack for women, purporting that it helped her to land dates. "I swear if you vab you will attract people, like a date, or a one-night stand. Or you’ll just get free drinks all night," she said in the clip, which quickly racked up more than 1.5 million views.

In another video with more than 850,000 views – posted by a user who goes by @palesamoon – one woman recalls a first date with a man who “couldn’t keep his hands” off her. “But I kind of understood,” she says, “because I was doing an experiment that night. I decided to use my coochie juice as, like, perfume.” There are now thousands of other videos discussing the practice on the platform, with the hashtag #vabbingperfume acquiring more than 12.9 million views to date.
Take one look at the thousands of TikTok videos discussing the trend, though, and this narrative is quickly derailed. Currently, all of the most-viewed #vabbing videos are characterised by a sense of disgust and repulsion. As opposed to endorsing the trend, the majority of people are criticising it and, as a result, perpetuating the view that vaginas – and their apparent scent – are disgusting.

All of these videos send the same message: some people really hate vaginas. In a similar way to the aforementioned vaginal cleansing and steaming trends, they tap into this idea that the vagina is a problem that needs to be fixed. With this in mind, vabbing doesn’t seem like much of a trend at all, but rather a smear campaign against women’s bodies. One that is predicated on the social and sexual shame we attach to our physical selves.

It also perpetuates some rather damaging myths about women’s health. Despite what the vabbing videos may suggest, the NHS Go website states that it’s completely normal for the vagina to have a scent. “Vaginal odour can change at different times of the reproductive cycle and shouldn’t always be thought of as being a sign of infection or illness,” says Dr Sophie Elneil, a consultant in urogynaecology at University College Hospital, London. The website adds that those worried about the scent of their vagina, or find it unpleasant, should see their GP.

What do you think CR?
Does this repulse you, find odd or something you think is fine for anyone to do?

What do you think in the above statement I shared?
Do you think those who are repulsed by it are using this as another way of finding yet another excuse in shaming women to make them embarrassed by their own bodies?

Re: Vaginal dabbing

I'm not repulsed by it. It seems like an unusual thing to do, but I don't think those videos are an excuse for people to start vag-shaming.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Fair enough.
Cool.
I appreciate you answering and your honesty and I agree with your answer.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Thanks.

I'm curious what the reaction would be if guys made videos saying they use their secretions as perfume/cologne.

I found this:

Secretions Magnifique is a synthetic concoction that's supposed to smell like a combination of semen, blood, and breast milk. It's $88 and not even the celebrities who shop at perfume boutiques really want it. I wore it for five days.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

I suspect because girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice your private juice spread around is more acceptable than for those who are made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails.

And objections to us will just be sick, perverted and wrong instead of any excuses for it like body shaming.

…but perhaps it's better the dog sniffs behind your ear and not between your legs. ☺

Re: Vaginal dabbing

I don't need to smell like a vagina behind my ears. He can kiss there without treating him like an animal.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

you've spend a lot of time on this. nature does just fine if we leave things alone.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

I've spent a lot of time vabbing? Or I spent a lot of time on the post? No to both.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

I'd think maybe you got squirted at by a tuna can when opening it.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Do you really know women who smell like tuna?

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Bad pussy has never smelled like tuna to me. Usually it's like shrimp, and that's with like an infection or something like that.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Have you heard of Trimethylaminuria?

Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is an uncommon condition that causes an unpleasant, fishy smell. It's also called "fish odor syndrome."

Sometimes it's caused by faulty genes that a person inherits from their parents, but this isn't always the case.

There's currently no cure, but there are things that can help.

Symptoms of trimethylaminuria

Trimethylaminuria symptoms can be present from birth, but they may not start until later in life, often around puberty.

The only symptom is an unpleasant smell, typically of rotting fish – although it can be described as smelling like other things – that can affect the:

breath
sweat
pee
vaginal fluids

The smell may be constant or may come and go. Things that can make it worse include:

sweating
stress
certain foods – such as fish, eggs and beans
periods

Are you for penis facials?

Re: Vaginal dabbing

You should start a thread with that topic.

● Wiping down gym equipment before and after use

Yeah, I don't want to risk sliding off the bench from a snail trail.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

What's it called when people use their own poo as perfume?

Poofume.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

And if I smell that I am going to disappear.
POOF!

I bought Gwyneth paltrow's vagina candles so I think this is a good idea too.

Re: Vaginal dabbing

Agreed. She must walk in completely naked and other parts need to be inspected as well to be sure. Ditto to the small electrical things. Lol.
