For those unfamiliar, vabbing is a mix of the words ‘vagina’ and ‘dabbing’.

“I am certain that every single time I employ it, it makes me feel like an enchanted goddess with a delicious secret.”
She explained: “Get up there, give ’em a swipe.
“Proceed with caution — because it works.”
She advises people to shower first, wash their hands before and after, and avoid vabbing while on their period.

The biggest concern about vabbing was hygiene. Dr. Hana Patel, a doctor and women’s health expert in South London, spoke with Women’s Health and highlighted how risky the trend is.
“There is the potential to get an infection,” she said.
Moreover, London gynecologist Paraskevi Dimitriadi told the Daily Mail that vabbing could result in conditions like vaginosis or thrush, warning that bacteria from your hands could easily cause harm during vabbing.
Vabbing might even cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or, in extreme cases, lead to infertility.
However, PID and infertility would only develop in the most severe scenarios.
Dimitriadi noted, “We secrete the same pheromones throughout the glands of our body.
“We have pheromones in our sweat. We also secrete pheromones through urine and we don’t put that on our bodies.
“There is absolutely no need to use your vaginal discharge on other parts of your body to attract a partner.”*
“The concept of pheromones exists in animals, but, we are an evolved species. All of these [trends] have no scientific basis at all.”
