Cleansing your Yoni & Yoni steam
Hello Yoni owners,
Just a little note on how to keep everything ship shape down there. It’s quite simple really - your clever little puss is SELF CLEANING (seriously is there anything the vagina can’t do!?), that means you don’t actually need all those lotions and potions that are mass marketed at you as the be-all and end-all of keeping you (femme... ahem) FRESH!
Nope! In fact, your delicate little flower has incredibly high standards and is rather sensitive to anything too chemically loaded and perfumed. Most of those things have the potential to upset the PH balance of your yoni.
All you need is a little warm water sloshed around the folds of your vulva and you’re pretty good to go! There are some lovely organic oils available for a sweet little post water bath massage if you so desire.
Contrary to any belief otherwise the natural scent of your Puss is absolutely normal and pretty darn delectable. I’m pretty sure most partners will agree. The only thing to keep a nose out for are any significant changes in smell. If it starts to get a little extra musty, pungent or sour downstairs and it’s out of the ordinary, then it might be worth getting yourself checked out for any bacterial infections so you can keep yourself healthy and happy in your pants.
And if you wanna go for a little extra loving cleanse your can try out my new found favourite - THE YONI STEAM!
I held off from this for a loooong time because I was convinced I needed a fancy stool for my sesh but it’s actually super simple with absolutely no need for special equipment.
Get yourself some suitable herbs, scoop a few spoons in a glass bowl and cover with boiling water. Get naked from the waist down (and waist up if that’s your bag but I find I get too chilly), and squat over said bowl. Wrap a blanket or towel around your waist so it covers you and the bowl almost making a tent to seal in the steam from the boiling herby water. The intention is for the steam to rise up to meet your yoni. The misty beads of water help to gently dislodge any build up of old fluids and dead skin around your vulva and inside your vagina and keep everything nice and cleansed.
Be safe, check the temperature of the steam as your near it with your delicate parts. Use your intuition and common sense so you don’t hurt yourself. Really, it feels just like a refreshing facial steam, except your face is in-between your thighs
Tip: I have a low sofa bed that I perch on the edge of as squatting can be tiring. You can also stack some decent cushions up to give you some height to allow your to pop the boil underneath you.
And ENJOY - a natural smelling, sparkly vagina .
P.s. I’m not an expert on the Yoni Steam. I’m just a Yoni owner with a bag full of herbs and a heart that wants to share the love. For more info check out the amazing @yonidayspa on instagram.
