Me and my fiance have been together for almost 2 years now - yet he is just finding this out.
I was going to the bathroom today and he walked in and saw me putting baby powder on my panties and on my vagina. I've done it since I was a teenager - it keeps you fresh and dry down there.
He thought it was so weird. So my question is, does anyone else do this?
I'm a guy, and I think you're all ridiculous. As long as you shower, you're going to smell fine. Guys like the smell of vagina. The fact that you're masking that because you say it will smell 'fresh' is absolutely ridiculous.
From the dictionary... Fresh (adjective) - Retaining the original properties unimpaired
So really you're doing the opposite of making it fresh. Seriously, if I went anywhere near a vagina and it smelled like baby powder, I would request that they wash it off before I went any further.
On top of that, you're drying yourself out, which is a potential health hazard. I got this from the encyclopedia...
The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, sustaining healthy microbial flora that flow from the inside out; the vulva needs only simple washing to assure good vulvovaginal health, without recourse to any internal cleansing or douching.
That 'healthy microbial bacteria' is what keeps you from getting things like yeast infections.
Do what you want, it's your vaginas after all...
I don't do that but I know someone that does and she has to smell good down there. I don't really have much of a problem down there as far as sweating so, I just don't use baby powder there. I love the smell of it and I don't think its weird for you to do that. You just have to explain to your significant other why you should put baby powder there. I also hear that baby powder keeps you dry and smelling good down there. I think that's a great idea! Maybe I should try that. Since I don't sweat much there, I should try that for freshness.
Don't hate. I shower every day, but I tend to get very warm, and it's uncomfortable for me to feel damp down there, so I use a puff and pat a little cornstarch baby powder around my thighs and the outer part of my privates, also the inner crease of the thigh, and then sprinkle a little in my panties. It's not like we're packing it into the actual pink parts. I think of it the same way I put antiperspirant under my arms after a shower, and I've never had a guy complain yet.
well he will get used to it I suppose & if he thinks its weird then what did he actually want... did he exoect you to just out of the blue say, hey by the way I put baby powder on my panties & vagina?
lol... dont think so, you do what you got to do & I'm sure there are things you dont know about him & the less you know about each other the more exciting your marriage will end up being!!
There is a great deal of speculation that Talcum powder may cause cancer. Talc is closely related to asbestos. I wouldn't recommend putting it anywhere near your ovaries.

Look for an alternative product that doesn't contain talc like "calming non-talc powder" http://www.californiababy.com/calming-non-talc-powder-2-5-oz.html
Well, I'm a guy and see nothing wrong with a girl doing it, I do it myself, I sweat a lot and it does help with it, like most of you I do during the hot days of summer or when I do exercise. I think that guys have to be a bit more open to what girl do and why, I think that most guys are not open minded to new things.
I dont do it. But I dont think its weird. I dont sweat down there so I dont have much problems on that place.. But I think that many people do that, since it keeps you fresh and dry. Explain him that thats not weird :)
yea I used to when I danced at dance things so that my vagina didnt stink... but thanks now I am going to start doing it again... BUT I didnt put it on my vagina I just put it on my panties
I do that I think only guys think its strange because they dont really know what it is really like
I do it...especially in the summer when there's more chance of sweating - that feels awful
I do it all the time especially in the summer lol Hey a girl has got to stay fresh :)
I don't do it but I know plenty of people who do- I don't think it's weird.
EVERYTHING is linked to cancer. I've never done it but I'm going to now!
I do!!! I love baby powder!!! but I only put in my panties. :)
No, I don't do that, and it's been linked to cervical cancer.
you learn something new everyday...
my step dad does but I dont.
I have done it before...
