Vabbing at the Gym: Reasons for it, Side Effects and More

What Does Vabbing Mean?

Vabbing is the short form for “Vaginal Dabbing”. Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, you didn’t think there would be any correlation between the vagina and the gym, right? Let’s dive into the details.

Vabbing is the practice of women using their vaginal secretions as perfume. Yes, you read that right. It is a common practice these days where women use their vaginal secretions as perfume instead of regular perfume.

This practice has been around for a while now but wasn’t pronounced. With the use of Tiktok, Mandy Lee brought this somewhat disturbing knowledge to the world.

Understandably, the video came under much backlash for professionals across most spheres. It also amused some Tiktok audiences as they tried it in a bid to be testifiers themselves.

Mandy Lee shared a video on Tiktok informing how she used her vaginal secretions as a perfume in her erogenous zones, such as her wrist, neck, and ear, and she had men flocking around her. Her face showed Joy and appreciation for her vagina.

Although the video has been taken down, many other videos have come up, either demystifying the idea behind vabbing or affirming its very potency. What is the idea behind vabbing and is there a science to it?

The Science Behind Vabbing

There is a plausible explanation behind vabbing. When a woman vabs, she is directly endowing herself with pheromones. Pheromones are chemical substances released from the body, such as urine, sweat, and, in this case, vaginal juice.

These substances secreted pass hidden communication to the opposite s3x. This communication can be s3xual. It is not confirmed if humans release pheromones but we’ve already adopted the science of plants and lower animals.

To know more about Pheromones, read this excellent article on Healthline. Some women believe that when you rub this vaginal secretion on your erogenous zones, you are actively passing s3xual signals to men and you are simply irresistible… or so they think.

Some schools of thought uphold that vabbing has a placebo effect on women. The application of vaginal juice is a physical action of affirmation that psychologically affects women. It gives them more confidence in their body and vagina.

You know, “My Vagina, my pride”

That tells you that there is no scientific explanation for vabbing. It’s just a physical-psychological trick that you play on yourself to improve confidence. That’s if you want to.

If one vabs (vabs is the verb for vabbing) and needs a place to release pheromones, what better place than the Gym? Hence, vabbing at the Gym.

Vabbing At The Gym

If you’ve been to the gym before, a few words come to mind, such as; exercise, sweat, push-ups etc. You can’t help but sweat when you efficiently use the gym. Since this is a constant, few women have decided to take vabbing straight to the gym.

They rub this secretion on themselves (not all over) and pretentiously exercise in the gym. Since they have an ulterior motive of bagging the gym gents, they make eye contact with men, flirt with their instructors, boldly move around the gym etc.

All because of Vabbing. Can you see it has a psychological effect?

The question of whether vabbing works or not is very relative and personal. If and when you vab, you must understand that you are publicly announcing yourself for a s3xual encounter. So don’t look so angry when men flock around you.

To realise the potency of your vagina’s secretion, you must be ready to have men flock around you. On the other hand, if men do not flock around you, then it’s either you have weak vagina secretion (haha), or you just affirmed that vabbing is a completely psychological treatment.

Now that you know all about vabbing. It’s entirely up to you to adopt this practice on your next trip to the gym. The question you should be asking is. Is vabbing a safe process, and what are the side effects?

Is Vabbing at The Gym Safe?

The gym is a public space, and smearing yourself with vaginal juice seems highly unhygienic. The thought of hygiene towards others is not enough to deter women from vabbing. It is also important to consider personal hygiene. The physical health education tutors do too well for you not to worry about that.

Apart from the topic of hygiene, there hasn’t been any notable proof to show that vabbing at the gym is not a safe practice at the gym. It is entirely up to the person to decide if you want to rely on the power of the vagina for s3xual attraction.

Side Effects of Vabbing

There are two known side effects of vabbing ;

1. Bacterial Infections and
2. Fungal Infections.

Your fingers attract an unfathomable number of germs daily, and it is dangerous to stick those fingers up your vagina carelessly.

Bacterial Infections of The Vagina

Bacterial infections of the vagina are quite common and can cause discomfort and irritation. The vagina has a delicate balance of naturally occurring bacteria, with Lactobacillus being the predominant species that helps maintain a slightly acidic environment.

This acidity prevents the overgrowth of harmful bacteria. Certain bacteria can multiply when this balance is disrupted, leading to infections. Some common bacterial infections of the vagina include:

1. Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age. It occurs when there is an overgrowth of certain bacteria, primarily Gardnerella vaginalis, which upsets the natural balance of the vaginal ecosystem.

BV is not considered a s3xually transmitted infection (STI), but certain s3xual behaviours may increase the risk of developing it. Typical symptoms include a thin, greyish-white vaginal discharge with a fishy odour and sometimes itching and irritation.

2. Group B Streptococcus (GBS)

Group B Streptococcus is a type of bacteria that can naturally be found in the gastrointestinal and genital tracts of some women. It is generally harmless in healthy adults but can cause vaginal infections, particularly in pregnant women.

GBS testing is an essential part of prenatal care to identify women who may require antibiotic treatment during labour to prevent passing the infection to the baby.

3. Aerobic Vaginitis (AV)

Aerobic vaginitis is a condition characterized by an overgrowth of aerobic bacteria (bacteria that thrive in the presence of oxygen) in the vagina. It shares some symptoms with BV, such as abnormal discharge and odour, but different bacteria cause it.

Various other bacteria can cause vaginal infections, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus species.

Fungal Infections of The Vagina

Fungal infections of the vagina, also known as vaginal yeast infections or vulvovaginal candidiasis, are common and can cause significant discomfort. Most of these infections are caused by a fungus called Candida, with Candida albicans being the most common culprit.

Under normal circumstances, Candida is present in the vagina in small amounts and does not cause any harm. However, when the balance of the vaginal environment is disrupted, such as by changes in pH levels or a weakened immune system, Candida can grow excessively, leading to an infection.

Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection may include:

1. Vaginal itching and soreness
2. Abnormal vaginal discharge that is typically thick, white, and clumpy (resembling cottage cheese)
3. Burning sensation during urination
4. Pain or discomfort during s3xual intercourse

These are all possible side effects of vabbing. Another psychological effect vabbing can have is an over-reliance on vaginal juice for s3xual attraction. You might lose faith in your looks and totally depend on your vagina.

This brings you to the end of vabbing and vabbing in the gym. You must have learnt a lot, and you can try it today.
