CAREFREE DARES TO SAY THE V-WORD

Friday, July 20, 2012 by SweetTalk on the Spot

By Julie B.

It seems that Australia has gotten its collective knickers in a twist over Carefree’s Acti-Fresh panty liners campaign. While most feminine hygiene ads are satisfied showing women frolicking in white linen or disembodied hands demonstrating absorption by pouring blue dye from a beaker; Carefree is daring to discuss actual body parts and their functions.

Can't fool us! We know what you're hiding behind there!

Being bold enough to use the words “vagina” and “discharge”, Carefree has drawn the ire of some Australian viewers, who in turn, have complained to the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB). The television commercial in question stars a naked woman standing behind some artful yet strategically arranged white orchids speaking candidly about how “even that bit of discharge in between our periods is our body working to keep the vagina healthy.”

“We have decided to take a bold approach in this campaign with the aim to tackle a subject which has always been taboo,” says Michelle Forster, women’s health manager at Johnson & Johnson Pacific, “We want to encourage women to talk openly about their bodies.”

The blogosphere has been on fire with writers and commenters sparring over whether “vagina” and “discharge” are appropriate words for primetime. Many feel that it’s about time consumers hear anatomically correct language while others remain squeamish.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Should intimate care advertisements stick to cute euphemisms and vague symbolism or would you rather just hear it straight?

6 Things That Have No Business Near Your SweetSpot

Thursday, May 24, 2012 by SweetTalk on the Spot

1. SUGAR

Many of us think of our sweet spots as an extension of ourselves. We might think, “I love dessert. Why should my lady parts miss out on the fun?” Besides the potential for a sticky situation right out of a bad sex comedy, the reason why is that Candida albicans, the pesky infection-causing strain of yeast don’t just love sugar— they thrive on it. While all healthy vaginas host a small amount of yeast, a PH-balanced environment usually controls the population.

Putting anything with sucrose, glucose, fructose or lactose down there is like opening a buffet for them to gorge gourmet and any substance that ends in “ose” should be kept far away from your panties. Next time you and your honey feel like sweetening up your bedroom fun, do yourself a favor and save the whipped cream for your sundae.

2. WET SWIMWEAR AND CLOTHING

Remember when your mom would tell you not to sit around in that wet bathing suit? It turns out she was worried about more than the furniture. While any change in vaginal PH can bring on a yeast infection, excess moisture
and irritation can sometimes be the culprit. That’s why it’s important to change into something dry (preferably cotton or moisture wicking) ASAP after you enjoy some beachy fun. Along the same lines: as soon as you’re done
working out, make sure to get out of those sweaty clothes so you don’t have to take an itchy jog to the pharmacy.

3. “VAJAZZLES” & AND “VATTOOS”

Personal style is a beautiful thing but you may want to think twice before applying temporary inks and adhesive rhinestones to delicate areas. Vajazzling and vattooing are usually done right after a Brazilian wax, when your skin is more vulnerable to irritation and infection. And it’s not just the mucous membranes of your girly parts that are extra sensitive — all the skin around your bikini area should be treated with care to prevent unpleasant skin reactions. WHEN you feel like redecorating your downstairs, try a cute new pair of panties instead.

4. SCALPELS

Temporary decorations can be potentially irritating but unnecessary renovations to your downstairs could have permanent consequences. Plastic surgeries like labiaplasty (trimming labia minora to make them small and
symmetrical) and vaginal rejuvenation (surgical tightening of the vagina) come with risks. The worst reported side effects are bleeding, infection, scarring and loss of sexual sensation. Truthfully, every woman’s flower is unique and there’s no prescribed way it’s “supposed” to look. Try to embrace what makes you uniquely beautiful. Unless something about your anatomy is causing you physical discomfort – don’t fix what isn’t broken.

5. SKIN BLEACHING PRODUCTS

While many women are concerned over the size of their parts, some are more concerned about the color. There is actually a growing market for bleaching services and products for down there. But buyer beware! Most skin lightening agents have an irritating product called hydroquinone — and trust us, the last place you want to put that is near your most delicate spot. This skin-stripping chemical is so damaging, it’s banned in all countries except the US. It’s also reported to cause irreversible hyperpigmentation.

It’s important for women to know that several factors affect the hue their sweet spots come in and variation is healthy and normal. Ethnicity, genetics and age are the three biggest factors that determine your down-there pigmentation and it’s actually common for the bikini area to be a little darker than the rest of your body.

6. NONOXYNOL-9

Nonoxynol-9 isn’t just an ineffective birth control; it’s one of the most irritating substances you can introduce to your sweetspot. This chemical is a surfactant, meaning it destroys sperm by disturbing cell membranes. Now just imagine what it does to your girly bits. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

According to the World Health Organization, not only does nonoxynol-9 have a negligible effect on conceptions rates, it has been shown to increase the risk of HIV infection. There are many safer, more effective contractive options—speak to your OBGYN to find the one that’s right for you.

Is the Va-Jay Jay a Self Cleaning Oven?

Monday, August 15, 2011 by SweetTalk on the Spot

by Brooke Kelley

Growing up, our moms always had a douche bag laying around, and no I’m not talking about our dads. So mom votes yes to keeping the inside clean, and doctors vote … NO … ??? How confusing is that, and what’s a girl to do!?

Dr. Alexandra Simotas, Board Certified, Obstetrics and Gynecology says, “Regular vaginal douching changes the delicate chemical balance of the vagina and can make a woman more susceptible to infections. Douching can introduce new bacteria into the vagina which can spread up through the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes. Researchers have found that women who douche regularly experience more vaginal irritations and infections such as bacterial vaginosis, and an increased number of sexually transmitted diseases.”

But if you’re anything like the modern woman, although you have respect for the doc, you’re careful not to rest on that advice merely because the M.D. says it. You’ve got to see the proof for yourself to know. So here’s the logic we follow here at SweetSpot Labs. There’s a potential danger if you do, and there are no repercussions if you don’t. (How do you think Great Grammy did alright?)

The main reason women are concerned with this debate at all is mostly because of the problematic odor. So we’ve go the perfect solution. Risk free and fun too. It starts with SweetSpot gentle wash for external use only. That alone will do the job, but you’ve always got the Balancing Mist to spray on later while you’re chillin’ at home. And there’s always on-the-go wipettes for the times you’re out with your friends or on a date with the one you love.

Dr. Alexandra says, “Now, if you have trust issues, and you don’t trust anyone, at least trust your vagina. It knows what it’s doing–I promise.”

How to Maintain your Brazilian Wax

Tuesday, July 5, 2011 by SweetTalk on the Spot

by Lisbeth Endre

Keeping your bikini area moisturized will reduce irritation and also minimize hair growth. As the hair grows in, it will make the skin a lot softer and reduce chafing. Many individuals like to use baby lotion.

Touch it up with a razor. While it is likely that the Brazilian wax got the majority of the hair, it is possible that there are a few strays that might have been missed. After a few days have passed and your skin is no longer irritated, shave those stray hairs off. You can also pluck them out with tweezers but that is usually more painful.

In order to keep your Brazilian wax in the best condition it’s important to regularly get waxed. Many individuals usually go again about 8 to 10 weeks after their initial wax. The more you get waxed the easier it becomes for you. Many individuals claim it is less painful and there is less hair growth after their first few waxes.

Enjoy that Brazilian wax and remember to maintain it!
