To not wash the inside of my vagina?

[Secretname123]

First AIBU so please be nice! There is a huge debate going on on twitter where people are horrified that some women wear tampons in the shower (it seems to be the majority of the many women responding to the tweets who are horrified). They claim it’s unsanitary because then you can’t wash inside your vagina. I thought we weren’t supposed to do this? I’m sure I had this drummed into me as a child. I never have and have never had an infection. Have I been doing it wrong all these years?!

Not really. I'm replying to those who tag me. If they stopped tagging me, I'd stop responding. Obviously.

'Learn about women's bodies'?.Get over yourself, love. I'm not the one afraid to wash mine! 😂😂

Ah yes, because you know me better than I know myself.🙄

I obviously don't mean stop it completely, just if it starts flowing as you get out of the shower. It is possible to stop the flow momentarily to sort yourself out.

Madness that I've had to explain that.

How do you stop it?

Not really. 'Stupid' is people thinking they know me better than I know myself. I can and I have stopped my flow momentarily.

Also, would love an example of NOT pissed off!

@Jumpingthruhoops go on then.. how do you stop it momentarily? its already in your vaginal canal and coming out, unless you have a trap door fanny you can't miraculously seal yourself up to prevent a liquid coming out of your vaginal opening.

With a towel... cross my legs... engage my pelvic floor... or good old-fashioned gravity (lay on the bed post shower with my legs up until I'm dry, yes, very glam!)

It's perfectly possible to do and never once had blood 'everywhere'.

this needs to be made into a sketch 😆

No matter how diligently you may perform your pelvic floor exercises, there is no sphincter at the entrance to the vagina so no way of stopping any liquid running down the vagina. Just like I can’t stop my nose running.

i mean it isn’t as if those of us who have suffered the misfortune of a flood haven’t instinctively tried and miserably failed as we’ve trudged off to the loo.

Pelvic floor no. Using a towel or crossing your legs isn't stopping it, it's just blocking it. Much easier to have a tampon or a moon cup in, then you wouldn't need to do either

Not a 'trap door fanny' or 'miraculous' just fairly basic stuff.

At the risk of providing TMI, I stop it the same way I stop DH semen coming out en route to the toilet after DTD. Now you'll no doubt tell me I can't do this either!! 😂😂

Just going to the loo? No douching to get rid of your husbands “waste products” contaminating your vagina? How disgusting.

And no I don’t believe you can control that either.

Using a towel isn’t stopping it coming out, it’s soaking it up after it has.

Your pelvic floor doesn’t close your cervix or the opening of your vagina, so can’t stop the flow.

Equally, crossing your legs has no effect on your cervix, and while it may capture drips between your thighs, it also won’t seal the vaginal opening and blood will still escape.

It’s impossible to lie on the bed with your legs up while getting out of the shower and moving around the bathroom, so that also won’t stop the flow while you are showering and getting decent afterwards.

Neither the cervix or the vagina are sphincters, or some sort of valve that can direct the flow of liquid.

No. Perhaps you should tell your doctor about some of your beliefs.

What a bloody weird question for a grown woman to be asking.

I put my vagina and cervix in the dishwasher every day. Can't believe how manky some of you are

Ha ha yeh I, not sticking a flannel up my fanny thanks. There is just no need. Wash the outside yes!

I stop the flow of blood and/or semen with my ziplock labia minora.

HTH

I just throw mine out and get new ones each day, you really can’t be too careful with fanny filth.

I get the men who jetwash my driveway to do my vagina at the same time.

He's trolling.

But all this faux astonishment and 'I can't believe I'm having to explain this' in some of your other posts can be read as implying judgement. That's how it reads to me, anyway.

Poor old @Jumpingthruhoops is lying in their manky bath filled with poo particles and snot after sticking a flannel up their nose and butt, declaring us all unhygienic!

🤣🤣🤣 That's made my day!!! Off to sort that out now, I don't want to be found lacking in the pee pipe cleanliness department!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don't think a lot of people are as bothered with how she attacks her wanny as they are her other bizarre unscientific comments.

it doesn't matter how good your pelvic floor muscles are, once you've got a right proper bleed on it'll just gush out when the vagina is completely full anyway. This thread has gone really fucking weird,😂
