Docs are sounding the alarm on a wild new TikTok trend. Single gals are using their vaginal discharge like perfume.
This fad, called ‘Vabbing’, has women dabbing their vaginal fluid behind their ears and on their necks. TikTok user Mandy Lee made it a thing, and her vid got over 1.5 million views.
Vabbing fans say it lures men with natural pheromones. Pheromones are body chemicals that animals use to find mates. But docs say there’s scant proof it works that way in humans. And they caution it could spark nasty infections, like thrush.
Dr. Paraskevi Dimitriadi, a London gynecologist, said using dirty hands to grab vaginal discharge might lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. That’s when vaginal bacteria spread to other parts of the reproductive system. It can scar the fallopian tubes and make it tougher for women to conceive. She also pointed out it could trigger bacterial vaginitis or thrush, which means stinky discharge.
