I cherish my vagina just the way it is, and I’m sure you feel the same about yours. Our bodies allow us to experience incredible moments, from pleasure to childbirth. The vagina can expand for various reasons — whether it’s for intimacy, a new, slightly intimidating toy, or even to bring a new life into the world. And let’s not overlook the clitoris, blessed with over 8,000 nerve endings; how fortunate are we? We should treat our bodies right by enjoying fulfilling experiences, nurturing them, and choosing lingerie that makes us feel fabulous.
It’s essential to pamper our intimate areas. Splurging on organic products or a menstrual cup is a great idea. However, we need to draw the line at putting inappropriate items inside, like ground wasp nests. Yes, you read that correctly. There’s a bizarre trend emerging where women are inserting ground wasp nests, or oak galls (which are formed by larvae of gall wasps on oak trees), into their vaginas. Just picture it — I can’t help but think of my kids playing with these galls in the backyard while pretending to survive in the wild. The last thing I want is to envision them being transformed into some paste for my private parts.
Some claim this new practice can help with odor, a common concern for many women. But let’s pause and reconsider: Can we please stop the hysteria surrounding vaginal scent? It’s normal for your vagina to have its unique smell, and trying to mask it won’t change that. Even if you put roses in there, it will still smell like a vagina — just with a hint of floral fragrance, similar to covering a bad odor with air freshener.
Another reason women might be tempted to try this is the belief that it can “detoxify” their vagina. Seriously, can we please stop the obsession with detoxing everything? Gynecologist Sarah Dawson explains how dangerous it is to apply ground larvae to our vaginas; it can lead to dryness, abrasions during intimacy, and can disrupt the natural balance of good bacteria. No thanks! I prefer to enjoy sex comfortably and appreciate my healthy bacteria.
Our vaginas are naturally self-cleaning, ladies. They don’t require any external interventions. One Etsy shop even promoted this paste as a way to enhance your sex life by claiming it could tighten your vagina. Thankfully, that dubious claim has since been removed, likely because it was pure nonsense. Instead, let’s rely on time-honored methods to spice things up, like romantic candles, soothing massages, and flattering lingerie.
Women today face enough pressure to appear youthful and firm without resorting to grinding up larvae and inserting them into their bodies in hopes of cleanliness and tightness. This is sheer madness! Here’s the truth: Your vagina is perfectly fine as it is — no wasp nests required. Let’s unite in agreement that these practices of inserting, tightening, or trying to alter our natural scent are absurd. Celebrate your vagina for the incredible part of your body it is, and let’s leave it be.

Our bodies are capable of self-cleaning, and there are safer ways to enhance intimacy and address concerns like odor. It’s essential to love and respect our bodies as they are.
