Sticking a tampon in yogurt?

Alright so this might be funny. So I was watching a video and this girl was giving hygiene tips for other girls. And one of the tips she gave was to take a tampon and dip it in a certain kind of yogurt, insert it into yourself, and it will get rid of any bad smell. Is that even safe?

  • Scientifically speaking, its not a safe and healthy thing to do. Yes, your vagina has active bacterial colony and yes, yogurt contains a similar bacteria, BUT the yogurt doesn't contain ONLY the bacteria! It contains many other fluids and chemicals which you don't want anywhere near your vagina.

    P. S. - I'm a biology student and sexual health and hygiene is my special paper (and area of expertise).

  • And what if someone then finds and eats that yogurt?

  • Don't put yogurt in your vagina, the probiotic bacteria in the yogurt can upset your normal flora and cause a lot of discomfort! Your vagina is supposed to have a smell, as a self cleaning part of the body it releases discharge which smells. Only if the smell is extremely strong should you worry/consult your doctor.

  • Yogurt contains the same type of bacteria that lives in the vagina and helps to balance yeast levels and keep everything healthy. But I'm not sure that putting yogurt in your vagina is the smartest idea. Taking a probiotic supplement (which will also contain that type of bacteria) is a much safer bet.

  • I've heard about sitting in live yoghurt to cure thrush, it's supposed to be good for the vaginal flora or something.. I'd ask a medical professional before inserting it inside yourself though :s

  • That's probably not safe. In fact, you'll probably get a yeast infection if you try that.

  • No! It'll cause bacteria to grow!

  • I've heard it's safe because the same bacteria in yogurt are also found in your woman cave.

  • Should be. ACTIVE COLONIE yogurt is frequently used as a douche when women get yeast infections. BUT - SUGAR FREE.

  • Aren't there special soaps meant for that? I would just get those instead

  • don't, it'll give you an infection.

  • Winter is coming so this might be the perfect time to ask your boyfriend if he wants to go out for frozen yoghurt.

  • Ugh. Never..

  • You should never take the advice from someone on YouTube.

  • Where on earth did you find that awful video

    • I don't know it was in the popular video thing o. o

  • I would not do it... it's like 'Put ketchup in your eye and you'll see much better'

  • Noooo when that shit rots it will smell so bad u could prob even get an infection or sick don't do it
