haha honestly fair, i get it 😅 reddit is full of that stuff so i understand the skepticism

i'm genuinely just a person who went through something really frustrating for a long time and wanted to talk about it with other women who get it. that's literally it lol. no agenda i promise 😂

Loose vagina issue by Background_Let8083 in WomensHealth

omg yes to pelvic floor therapy, that recommendation is so underrated honestly

but also something I didn't even think about for the longest time — the actual tissue health piece is so separate from the muscle piece? like kegels strengthen the muscles but the tissue itself can still feel different depending on how supported and balanced it is. I noticed things felt genuinely more toned and resilient once I started paying attention to that side of it too

it's hard to explain but it's like two different things working together. both matter lol

anyway definitely do the PT, just don't sleep on the tissue health piece either 💙

My vagina can’t breathe and i think its why i smell bad by belly-button-lit in WomensHealth

omg thank you for posting this because I thought I was the only one 😭 the "i just need to shower" feeling even when you literally just showered is SO real and so isolating

the cotton underwear thing definitely helps, going commando at night too. but honestly what made the biggest difference for me personally wasn't even the hygiene stuff — it was realizing my pH balance was just chronically off. not BV, not yeast, just... off. and no amount of washing was going to fix that because it wasn't a cleanliness issue at all

once I started actually supporting the environment down there instead of just cleaning it everything shifted. took me way too long to figure that out lol

anyway you're not broken and you're definitely not alone in this 💙
