Vaginas may be weird and hairy, but they certainly don’t need steaming

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/sex/104...acial.html

We’ve moved on from stripping our most sensitive regions of their natural hair, and have apparently started paying for vagina beauty treatments. Olivia Goldhill rounds up some of the most absurd products imaginable, including the vajacial.




In the good old days, all you needed to be ready for sex was two willing participants and a healthy dose of sexual chemistry.


Then pubic hair went out of fashion, and women suddenly had to start plucking, shaving, waxing, trimming away their natural state before copulation.


Now, it seems that vajacials are a thing. As in, facials, but for your vagina.


Apparently, these started off as a relatively simple affair in 2010, with a papaya enzyme mask, deep cleanse and tweezer hair extractions.


They’ve moved on though. Impossibly, beauticians have moved on from convincing women that a papaya-scented nether region is a necessary aspect of good sex, and have introduced a whole new range of vagina-themed beauty products.

Some women, before a big date or perhaps a romantic mini-break, actually book themselves in for a treatment of vaginal steaming.

Presumably, they sit back, spread their legs and allow steam to gently (I hope) cleanse their vagina. But what temperature is the steam, where (exactly) does it go, and how on earth is steam any better at cleaning than plain water?

The treatments are usually done a day or two after the woman's period ends, and "heals any imbalances" in the vagina. Which suggests I've been walking around with an unbalanced vagina for years.

Vaginoplasty is another trend, where you can surgically shape your vagina into the desired shape. But what is this desired shape and who has a vagina that needs to be cosmetically re-modelled before sex? Poetry aside, vaginas are weird-looking things - they’re so un-pretty, I’m unsure what a “beautiful” vagina is supposed to look like. Perhaps we’ve been going overboard with the flower metaphors and some women actually want their vaginas to look like a rose.

Symmetry and neatness are listed as the longed-for traits, but this raises a whole new set of questions - is everyone else measuring their vaginas for perfect symmetry?

Now London’s getting in on what started as America’s vaginal fashion trends, with salons offering "vaginal rejuvenation" for hundreds of pounds. Bad news for students then (and most other people), who will undoubtedly struggle to afford an appropriately-preened vagina. Maybe it can be a special treat that couples save up for once a year, when they can enjoy annual sex day with properly presented sexual organs.

The vagina is apparently rejuvenated by a costly serum, which was originally created to treat wounds, but has moved on to a new life sprucing up female genitals. Magically, this serum can improve "vaginal function" and "tighten and firm the vaginal walls".

I’m not surprised that these treatments exist, but I’m a little scared that women—even one, solitary woman—is paying for them.

There are women out there who are so anxious about what their partner will think about their vaginas, that they spend hundreds of pounds making them look “nice”.

But they need to stop this. They really do. No one envies the sex life of a woman complimented on her jojoba and rosemary scents. No one envies the sex life of a woman whose partner notices her jojoba and rosemary scents.

Vaginas are weird and they are hairy and that’s how they’re supposed to be. We need to stop worrying about what our poor vaginas look like during sex. It’s how they feel that really counts. OK?

Vanity, my favorite sin!

When a woman's vagina is on disk pay for every alpha make to see, she needs it to present with dignity.

The papaya is kind if gross.

I wonder if this will get the wrinkles out of my nut sack.

Regardless of the efficacy of the vajacial, Exhibit #8429839 of a western woman who thinks chicks shouldn't have to put in effort to snag male attention/commitment; that women should be good enough "as is":

They are preparing for a time envisioned by novelist Joji Numata when all women will have to go around wearing necklaces with pictures of their vaginas.

The steam cleaning sounds like a really, really bad plan. An old college roommate of mine is an OB/GYN. Get a few beers in him, and he'll get talking about these things. The *internal* part of the vagina is self cleaning so to speak. You fiddle with it by douching, steaming or whatever other weird things women can think of to waste their money on, the "balance" gets thrown off leading to infections, which then leads to these feminine hygiene nightmare experiences described in horrific detail in the other thread.

Obviously they need to wash the external part, and if they don't they're slatterns.

As for the surgery, I think this comes from everyone, including women watching too much porn.
Surgery should never be taken likely and only used for extreme cases where it's outside the range of normal. The complications could be a hell of a lot worse than a slightly asymmetrical vagina.



If they really want to make themselves more attractive to men they should try diet, exercise, maybe some kegels, learn to cook, dress with style and class, learn some manners and be PLEASANT to be around.

I think it's more about oral sex. They do all this because they want their guy to go down on them.

As usual , Western women have long lists of picky standards for men and what the men have to do for them, but are horrified at the suggestion a woman should have to do anything to please a man

I think the women that DO care about pleasing a man are doing this.
It just the author of the article that seems to be against it.

Here's the author of the article, 24 year old Olivia Goldhill.
Big surprise ...she's a confessed feminist.

Women been herd creatures think that anything which causes them to stand out from the herd (mangled roast beef labias, lopsided tits, height, etc) is on par with any global calamity. Look no further at the furor brought on by an excellent article about dating eating disorder First World broads.
