There has been a long-standing myth that using toothpaste on your vagina will tighten it.
Doctors like Dr. Vanessa Mackay who is the spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, told The Sun that putting toothpaste inside your vagina or along the vulva to tighten it, is a “myth.”
"Putting toothpaste into the vagina, or on the vulva, would not only be uncomfortable but it could also cause serious damage and disrupt the natural flora of the vagina, leading to the potential for infections like bacterial vaginosis and thrush," says Dr. Mackay.
Have you tried putting toothpaste on your va-jay-jay? Did anything happen?
