Vabbing is dangerous and unhealthy to sexual health Medical doctors have warned women who engage in the dirty practice.
The practice which is perceived as some kind of fetishism has taken over the internet as loose women are found guilty of using their vaginal discharge as perfume to easily attract men sexually.
The procedure involves the use of vaginal discharge as substitute for pheromone by women and applying it on their pulse points – especially behind the ears and neck.
Popularizing the practice, Mandy Lee TikTok user and writer talked about its apparent charm and potency on TikTok. Also, plus size influencer Jewlieah in a video vabbed at the gym where she managed to secure a hot date.
Since the emergence of the act, lots of women have been neck deep into the practice, trying it out and giving updates on their experiences.
However, now doctors are discouraging women from this practice. Dr Paraskevi Dimitriadi, a private gynaecologist from the Centre for Surgery in London, has shared that there is little evidence to prove that pheromones work in the same way as they do in animals.
Even more concerning, Dr Dimitriadi has warned that vabbing could cause some nasty infections down below.
The expert told MailOnline:
“If you use dirty fingers inside your vagina to collect discharge you can not only potentially traumatise the tissue in your vagina and but also spread infection, potentially causing something as serious as a pelvic inflammatory disease.”
Pelvic inflammatory disease increases the risk of having an ectopic pregnancy and scarring or abscesses in the fallopian tubes. This can cause infertility.
Dr Dimitriadi added:
“Dirty fingers could also cause bacterial vaginosis or thrush.
“If you have bacterial vaginosis or thrush your discharge can be malodorous and will not help you attract a partner.”
