Television and magazine advertising want women to believe that the vagina is a dirty area that needs constant cleaning. They want you to think that douching, using a deoderant spray, or a panty liner is as important as brushing your teeth. This is NOT the case at all! Yeast or Gardnerella vaginitis (Bacterial Vaginosis) comes from too much growth of yeast or bacteria. These yeast or bacteria normally live in the vagina, but in smaller numbers. When they grow too much, you have an itchy or smelly discharge. Too much growth can be caused by many things. If you have problems with many vaginal infections, ask yourself the following questions:

1. How often should you douche?
You should probably never douche. Douching may cause vaginal infections, either from unclean equipment or from washing away cells that line the vagina and protect it from infections. Your vagina has it's own cleansing mechanism. It's a lot like the nose. There is no need to wash inside your nose on a regular basis. If you have a bad-smelling or itchy vaginal discharge, it might be caused by douching. It will not be cured with douching. Check with your doctor about all bad-smelling or itchy or odd-colored discharges, but DO NOT DOUCHE. Douching is one of the major causes of pelvic infection. Douching pushes bacteria back up the uterus and tubes into the abdomin, where they cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Douching after your period may push the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) into the abdomin. This may cause endometriosis. For these reasons, we ask people NEVER to douche.

2. Do you wear panties at night?
The vagina, if kept constantly moist and away from air, can be a good home for the yeast and bacteria that like moisture and warmth. Wearing panties at night lowers air flow to the vagina, so don't wear panties if you can avoid it.

3. Do you wear all-cotton underwear, not just cotton crotch?
All-cotton underwear "breathes" better then nylon. Cotton-crotch underwear has a layer of nylon outside the cotton crotch which lowers air flow to the vagina.

4. Do you wear panty hose?
Panty hose, even with a cotton crotch tends to lower air flow to the vagina. This helps yeast and bacteria grow. Try trouser socks with a long dress or wear thigh high stockings instead. Or get a garter belt from the lingerie department with old-fashioned stockings to match.

5. Do you wear panty liners when it is NOT time for your period?
Panty liners are plastic coated. This lowers air flow to the vagina. In addition, many women are allergic to these liners, even the unscented kind. If you have so much vaginal discharge that you must wear a panty liner all the time, you should see your doctor to rule out vaginitis.

6. Are you offended by mucus?
Having some vaginal discharge is perfectly normal. No one is dry like a lizard. The type of mucus discharge changes with your menstrual cycle. In the first half, the mucus is clear, like egg white, and there is some times a lot of it. In the second half, the mucus is thicker, tacky and white or yellow. If you are on oral contraceptives (birth control), you may have a little more mucus all the time.

7. Do you use Vasline to make love?
Use a water-based lubricant for making love. (Like K-Y, Lubafax, Lubrin, Surgilube, etc.) They are sold in most drug stores.

8. Do you wash your vagina with soap?
When you shower or bathe, don't use soap on the tender mucus membranes of the vagina. Only use the soap on the hairy outer portion of the vulva. Use only water on the vagina. Avoid bubble bath soap if you take tup baths. It often causes irritation and allergies.

KEGALS!!

Kegel exercises are designed to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles (also called your PC muscles ). Kegel exercises can be good for women who are experiencing incontinence (as a result of childbirth, medical treatment, or changes/stress on the body), and they have also been recommended as a way of changing how orgasms feel (some, but not all, women say it enhances their orgasms).

Time Required: Once you know how, Kegel exercises don't have to take more than ten minutes per session.
Here's How:

Start by locating your PC muscle.
Many people begin doing kegel exercises but are actually squeezing the wrong muscle. Before you start the exercises, find your PC muscle, make sure you know where your PC muscle is and what it feels like.

Squeezing kegel exercises: start slow, find your baseline.The basic exercise can be done anytime and anywhere. Just squeeze your PC muscles as hard as you can, and hold them. This is doing a kegel exercise. Start by squeezing and holding for a count of 3-5 seconds, then release and relax for 5 seconds. When you release, notice how your muscles feel. The first time you do a kegel exercise see how many times you can do it before you feel your muscles getting tired.

Squeezing kegel exercises: use sets of repetitions
Your kegel exercises will be most efficient and have the most impact if you get into doing sets of repetitions of the squeezing. Once you’ve found your baseline, you can work from there. If you can, start with doing 5 repetitions (squeeze/hold/release). Judge for yourself how long you can hold the squeeze for, but don’t push yourself too much at first.

Building up strength with kegel exercises.
Once you’ve found your baseline, do your exercises, and every couple of days increase both the length of time you hold the squeeze for, and the number of exercises per set. As a guideline, try to work up to a point where you can hold the squeeze for ten seconds. And try to work up to doing ten reps of kegel exercises per set. So you squeeze, hold for ten second, release, relax for ten seconds, and repeat ten times.

Do your kegel exercises three or four times a day.
Try to take three or four times in the day to do kegel exercises. Again, everyone is different, but as a guideline try to do ten reps per session, holding for ten seconds on each exercise.

Vary the intensity and time in kegel exercises.
You can also try to vary the intensity of your squeezing and the amount of time you hold the squeeze in a set. Once you’re comfortable that you’re doing the exercises properly try a set where you do rapid squeeze and release. Experiment with how long you can comfortably hold a squeeze. Remember not to push yourself to the point of pain or discomfort.


Using products for resistance kegel exercises.
Some people will use a toy or kegel exercising device to add resistance to kegel exercises. This is not necessary, and while some sex educators suggest it increases the usefulness of the exercise, doing them on your own is still a great way to develop your PC muscle. If you are interested in purchasing a product for kegel exercises, make sure it isn’t too large, as this may get in the way of kegel exercises more than it will help them.

Do kegels while masturbating and having partner sex.
Once you’re comfortable, incorporate kegel exercises in your masturbation. Do them while you’re getting warmed up, doing them before you have an orgasm, and even try to do them while having an orgasm. You may notice that kegels change the way your sexual excitement and your experience of orgasm feels.

Tips:

1. Isolate the PC muscle when doing your kegel exercises. At the beginning, remember to regularly check that you are exercising your PC muscle, and not other muscles. Avoid contracting your abdominal, thigh, or buttocks muscles. This is something many people do, but it reduces the effectiveness of the kegel exercise Concentrate on breathing and trying to keep yourself relaxed, and only tense the PC muscles you are using. Try not to tense up your whole body.

2. Finding time to do your kegel exercises. You don’t need to set aside a big chunk of time to do kegel exercises. Do a few reps while waiting for a stop light to turn green. In the last ten minutes before lunch, when you’re sitting at a desk, do a few reps. Do them while you’re waiting for the movie to start, or a commercial break to be over.

3. Don’t overdo your kegel exercises.Like any exercise, it’s important to build up slowly, and pay attention to your body. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, you are pushing yourself too hard. It is possible that you could strain the muscles and aggravate a current problem, when you are trying to resolve it.

4. Kegel exercise products can be fun and helpful but they aren’t necessary.There are more and more products, often called “kegelcisors” on the market. While some of these can genuinely increase the strengthening exercises, and some of them double as fun sex toys, remember that they are not necessary. You don’t need any special work out clothes or paraphernalia to do kegel exercises properly.
 
As a man, I KINDA thought this was common knowledge, until an ex live-in GF proved it wasn't. She used to douche on the regular, and I was kinda like :eek: But, I didn't feel qualified to say, "are you sure that's right?" Hell, I can't tell you how to be a woman. We would damn near fight about her wearin panties to bed. I used to threaten to tear em up, if she wore em to bed...my damn instincts were right:roflmao:

Ben Wa Balls, or Ben Wah Balls have been around since about 500 A.D, used in the orient. They are also known as Love Balls and Pleasure Balls. Ben Wa Balls were originally meant to provide the man with extra pleasure during intercourse but then it was apparent that Ben Wa Balls had a positive effect on the woman. The feeling of the balls floating freely in the vagina and constantly massaging the vaginal walls caused intense sexual arousal.

Thanks to modern knowledge, it is know known that Ben Wa Balls are excellent at strengthening the pubococcygeus (PC) Muscles, also called Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises are recommended for women who recently had childbirth to restore the vaginal muscle tone and to help strengthen a weak bladder. It has been proven that the strength of the PC muscles was directly related to the intensity of an orgasm. Kegel exercises - wearing Ben Wa Balls for a few hours every day, strengthens the vaginal sphcinter and many men and women report intense sensations while the woman squeezes her vaginal muscules tighly around her partners penis.

Ben Wa Balls are the best and easiest way to excersize the PC mucles because the vagina is forced to flex in order to hold the balls inside. Additionally, when the muscles are flexed, it rushes blood to that area, that indicates sexual arousal. Most women are aroused constantly while wearing Ben Wa Balls.

The most popular and modern version of the traditional Ben Wa Balls is the Duotone Balls. They have a small ball that jiggles independantly inside a larger ball, a feeling that you will certainly notice! You will have constant sexual arousal while you are wearing them. Some balls may vibrate, the newsest and popular vibrating love balls are called SmartBalls. Smartballs are connected together and have a retreival cord for those who are afraid of 'losing' the balls inside the vagina. Smartballs have been receiving great reviews and are highly recommended. Smartballs are available for viewing and for sale at http://www.TheAdultToyShoppe.com on the second page of the Pleasure Balls Section.

Instructions on how to use Ben Wa Balls:

-Purchase plastic balls or larger duotone balls if you are a first timer, the metal balls tend to fall out if your PC muscles are not strong.

- Empty your bladder first, it will make it easier to hold the balls in.

- Insert one ball at a time, this is easier done if one leg is lifted up. Squeeze the PC muscles and hold the balls in. You will notice a feeling of fullness and notice the balls pushing down, but after a while you will be used to it, sort of like wearing a tampon.

- Wear them for a few hours every day.

- To remove the balls, you can lift up one leg and cough, or jump up and down. There is no way that the balls will 'dissapear' into your body.

Ben Wa Ball Beginner Tips:

- When you first wear Ben Wa Balls, stay home and do not do any heavy physical activity, the balls will fall out. If they do, wash them off with soap and water and put it back in. It is also not recommened to go out and do any chores while you are getting used to the Ben Wa Balls, that would be embarrasing to sneeze in the supermarket and have a ball fall down your pant leg! It will take a few weeks of regualr wearing before your muscles will be able to hold them in through phisical activity. Be patient!

- Once you have no problem holding in the duotone balls, you can upgrade to metal balls and enjoy the benefits of strong PC muscles, it will pay off escpecially when you are older and if you give birth!

- You can wear Ben Wa Balls during sexual intercourse, this will add more fullness to your vagina and stimulate the penis as well. Using them during sex is also a good way to create more natural vaginal lubrication.

How to Prevent Urinary Tract Infections


Urinary tract infections are very common, especially in women. Learn a few simple tips to preventing this very painful infection from occurring.

Urinary tract infections are usually caused by a bacteria called E.coli. This bacteria is usually found in the digestive tract, but can make it's way to the urethra and thus can migrate up to the bladder. Not everyone who has a urinary tract infection will have signs and symptoms, however most do. A few of the signs and symptoms can include: urinary frequency, burning during urination (especially at the end of urination), urinary urgency, strong-smelling and dark or cloudy urine, blood in your urine, feeling of having to urinate (even though little or no urine comes out).


WIPE FRONT TO BACK:
Wiping from front to back is the old adage to preventing these infections. Simply put, it will prevent you from bringing the bacteria into the region of the urethra.


DRINK FLUIDS:
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. It is also thought that drinking cranberry juice (or other acidic juices) can help to prevent urinary tract infections. They have cranberry pills you can purchase also

AVOID URETHRAL IRRITATION:
Be sure to avoid anything that may irritate the urethra. Some examples are intercourse without lubrication, feminine hygiene sprays or scented douches or bubble baths.

FREQUENT URINATION:
Whatever you do, don't hold it! When you feel the need to urinate, make it a point to do so.

AVOID CERTAIN BIRTH CONTROL MEASURES:
It is important that you try to avoid spermicides with nonoxynol-9 or diaphragms for birth control as they are often a cause for recurrent urinary tract infections in women.

URINATING BEFORE AND AFTER INTERCOURSE:
Urinated before and after intercourse can help to flush the bacteria out of the urinary tract and greatly reduce the risk of recurrent infections.
 
80% of women will experience a yeast infection

How to Treat a Yeast Infection Naturally


Eat yogurt. It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. It also works when applied topically. Insert some into the vagina using a finger or plastic tampon applicator. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.

Take lactobacillus/acidophilus supplements. Use according to the directions on the bottle.

Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth. Avoid alcoholic drinks also

Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent. Peel a fresh clove, wrap it in gauze and insert it into the vagina.

Try gentian violet. It's a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad - it stains everything.

Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.

Use an over-the-counter yeast infection remedy. Apply as directed.

sounds like she passed her yeast infection to you...

yeast infections are not just for women...men can get them also...and partners can pass them back and forth if they dont get treated

being that u are uncircumcised i bet it was even worse for you because of the heat and moisture

if that happens again u can always get over the counter remedies (rub some monistat on the tip of your dick) or try some of the ones i posted earlier
 
i remember about 6-8 months prior to that incident we was smashin and the day after, she had my thang itchin, but it was more internal, like when pissin. and i noticed the cooch wasnt smellin right after, so i gave her a break to fix that issue. Doc told me i had a yeast infection that time from her. gave me some oral medicine, and it went away. I couldnt get why that girl seemed to be going thru stuff. I even nutted in this girl 2x prior and instead of gettin pregnant she missed a period and coochie was out of commission for weeks and was smellin :puke: . like the uterus was not fertile or something and shitted the egg out... I assume she didnt know how to care of herself at all, and that was 1 reason why i left her alone. whats up with consecutive yeast infections?

She use to stick her soapy finger up in there when showerin, maybe that helped like u said.

Like most people, she ate a whole lot of bullshit foods, with sugar so that helped also.

some women are more prone to yeast infections than others....

its not that they are nasty people...its the amount of bacteria their body does (or does not) produce

sounds like your ex may have been prone to them from the jump (and from the sounds of it she might have a blatter infection...along with some other funky things going on down there that she needs to see a dr about)

theres lots of reasons why a woman would get a yeast infection
some get a mild one with every period
antibiotics can trigger one
wearing alot of tight clothing/not wearing cotton
irritation to soaps
diet
douching
and of course uncleanliness can trigger an infection

i know this isnt a fun discussion to have but its important both men and women are educated on how to prevent and cure yeast infections because it can affect everyone
 
keep it tight ladies....ben wah beads :D

t_1053.lg.jpg

First of all, I need that pic as a full wall mural for my bedroom. WHEW!:yes:

So, I want to focus on this last point about cleaning the vagina.

Over the past 7 MONTHS, while working a farmer's market in Downtown Atlanta, I have had dozens of candid conversations with women from all over the world about what to wash their vagina with.

You got women swearing by Ivory or swearing by Dove or some other mainstream vaginal wash that means your yoni NO GOOD!:smh:

I don't agree with only using water. Yeah, you shouldn't be washing your cervix, or uterus, or the inside of your vagina, but your labia sweat and hold odor and need a bit of natural assistance.

These three soaps that Lumeria Body Care carry, are the answer to your pH problems. I have female clients that swear by it!:yes:
