If you’ve been looking up ways to tighten a loose vagina , you might have come across something a little bit odd. Vinegar. That’s right, for potentially hundreds of years, people have been swearing by vinegar as a one stop solution to all their vaginal problems. But does it really work?
One of the main ways vinegar is said to improve the tightness of a vagina is by applying it topically. This basically means just basting your vagina with it. While vinegar does contain acids and chemicals which can have the effect of tightening your skin, this effect is only temporary, and is due to the effect of the acids on the skin. Some vinegar will be so acidic that rather than tightening your skin, it will corrode it. After a few hours, your skin will return to normal, and all you’ll have accomplished is having a strange smelling vagina.
While there doesn’t seem to be any proven beneficial effect to applying vinegar to the vagina, there is the potential for some negative ones. The vagina has its own natural Ph (Ph is the scale on which acidity is measured). Vinegar also has its own different Ph level. By applying vinegar to your vagina, you can completely unbalance the vagina’s natural acidity and give yourself yeast infections or introduce all kinds of other bacteria into the area. Nasty.
If you still aren’t convinced, and want to try vinegar for yourself, it is usually done in the form of a natural douche. People usually will mix one-part vinegar with two parts water. The mixture is put into a squeezable bottle and the tip inserted into the vagina. Squeeze the mixture into the vaginal cavity and continue releasing until you have used all of the solution. You can then bathe if you wish to rinse the leftovers from your vagina.
Bathing in vinegar is touted for much the same reason as applying it topically. Women will make a mix of vinegar and water and take a long soak in it to tighten up the skin all over their body. Again, this is a mostly temporary effect and will subside within a few hours. It does carry much of the same negatives as topically applying vinegar, only this time there are many more areas for the vinegar to enter your body, which means there are many more areas for it to cause problems. Maybe the worst thing though, you’ll stink of vinegar! Why anyone would put up with the smell for an extended period for at best debatable results is beyond me, but each to their own.
The final way I’ve seen recommended to use vinegar for tightening the vagina is to drink it. Rather than traditional vinegar, this is usually done with apple cider vinegar. Now this is one that right from the start I’m going to say DON’T DO IT. Vinegar is very ACIDIC, and can cause some serious damage to internal organs. Instead of simply unbalancing the Ph of your vagina, the concoction will be moving through your entire system. It can cause damage to your teeth, gums, and oesophagus due to the acidic nature of the liquid. It can upset your stomach, and cause you to lose potassium, which can lead to bone damage. Due to the mixture moving through your system, if you have any prescribed medications you could be in for a rough time. Mixing prescribed medicines with anything can be dangerous, but especially so with something as acidic as vinegar.
As you can see, when you start using things like vinegar to try and tighten your vagina, you’re walking down a dangerous road. I would highly recommend you leave this one on the internet, and try some of the more proven methods of vaginal tightening such as Kegel exercises or vaginal weights.

Ever wondered "Why does my vagina smell?" You're not alone. Vaginal odors are totally normal. vaginas smell. All vaginas have some kind of scent down, and no matter what soap commercials tell you, it shouldn't be a light floral one.
According to research published in the New York Times , people with vaginas "are most frequently concerned that their vaginas smell like fish followed by vinegar, onions, ammonia, garlic, cheese, body odor, urine, bread, bleach, feces, sweat, metal, feet, garbage and rotten meat."
There is no single way a healthy vagina should smell. "Every woman has her own scent and it's a totally normal part of who she is. You are most sensitive to your own natural odor, and it's very unlikely that anyone else around you can smell it," explains Dr. Vanessa Cullins, Vice President for External Medical Affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Many people would describe their healthy vaginal odor as being musky, and despite comparisons to gardens and flowers, vaginas will never smell like a bed of roses. That said, vaginal odors outside your typical smell can be a sign that something's amiss .
There are a few factors that can lead to changes in vaginal odor: infections or STIs, exercising and sweating, hormone levels during your menstrual cycle, and more. When should you see a doctor? Dr. Cullins says, "an unpleasantly smelly odor can be a sign of an infection that needs to be treated right away, especially if it's accompanied by an unusual discharge ." Your body is smart. When your vagina is trying to tell you something, don't ignore it.
Read on to learn more about seven common types of vaginal odors to look out for, explained with the help of Dr. Cullins and Dr. Debora Nucatolah, Senior Director of Medical Services, at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Possible Cause: Bacterial Vaginosis
"There are many different kinds of bacteria growing in your vagina," explains Dr. Cullins. "These bacteria are completely normal and keep the vagina healthy. However, bacterial vaginosis (BV for short) is caused by an imbalance of different kinds of vaginal bacteria. Sometimes BV has no symptoms at all; other times, symptoms may include a thick, frothy discharge that's usually white or grey, a strong fishy odor (especially after sex or washing with soap), and itching."
Treatment: Your gynecologist can prescribe antibiotics to restore your vagina's pH balance. In the meantime, avoid douches and scented products (including tampons), which are known to disrupt your vagina's pH balance.
"If you've eaten a lot of onions or garlic, you can excrete an onion or garlic smell in your urine, and your vaginal discharge may change temporarily in smell, as well," explains Dr. Nucatolah says. "Within 24 to 48 hours of eating these pungent foods, your discharge, vagina, and urine should return to their normal smell. In [people with vaginas], the opening called the urethra from the bladder to outside the vulva, the vaginal opening, and the anus are all separate openings but they are located close together. Sometimes you may think it is your vulva or vagina that smells but it may be your urine or feces or anus. The best thing to do is to wash with soap and water, and then try to decide where the smell is actually coming from."
Treatment: Take a shower or bath and you'll say bye-bye to the B.O. smell.
"Yeast infections are caused when a yeast called candida (CAN-di-duh) grows too much. Most people have small amounts of yeast in their mouths and intestines. Healthy women have yeast in their vaginas. But sometimes this yeast overgrows and causes a yeast infection. The discharge looks like cottage cheese. It can be so thick that you might notice a thick white coating in and around your vagina," says Dr. Nucatolah says.
Treatment: Your doctor can prescribe an anti-fungal medication, such as Diflucan.
"You may have heard of trichomoniasis, or 'trich' (pronounced like the word trick), but many people are not sure what it is. Trich is one of the most common causes of vaginitis. Trichomoniasis (trick-oh-mo-NEYE-ah-sis) is an infection caused by a protozoan, a microscopic, one-cell animal called a trichomona, which is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause an unpleasantly smelly discharge. More than eight million Americans are infected with it every year," says Dr. Nucatolah says.
Treatment: Trichomoniasis can be treated (and cured!) with antibiotic treatment. See your gyno A.S.A.P.
If you're smelling a coppery smell, it's could be tied to blood . Blood contains iron, which is responsible for the metallic smell. So, if you're on your period, that could be the cause of the copper odor. Even if it's not your period, you could be experiencing light bleeding from sex and that could be the culprit. A copper smell is no cause for alarm, unless you're also experiencing itching , burning, and/or suspicious discharge.
Treatment: Try using a lubricant if you're experiencing light bleeding related to intercourse; the additional moisture can help prevent small cuts or scrapes from forming in the vagina.
"If a tampon has been forgotten for days or even longer, the smell is extremely foul and should prompt you to see a healthcare provider to make sure all of the tampon is found and removed, and to determine whether you need further treatment," says Dr. Nucatolah.
Treatment: If you have a strong odor that smells like meat, go to the doctor immediately.
Possible cause: Bacterial vaginosis or bits of urine
We talked about BV earlier, and while it causes a fishy vagina smell in some women, others may interpret it as a bleach or chemical smell . But that's not the only thing that could be causing a bleach or ammonia smell: What you're smelling could actually be urine. When you're dehydrated, your urine can take on a chemical-like smell. This smell could also be attributed to the use of spermicides, lubricants, or even semen.
Treatment: If the smell persists for more than a few days, visit your gynecologist to determine if you have BV.
