The World According to Oz, Dr. Oz that is

Known as America’s doctor on Oprah, Dr. Mehmet Oz is one smart cookie. While vice-chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University he also directs the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program at NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital.

Though his research interests are in the area of the heart, he helps women by discussing issues on Oprah that sometimes are at the “heart” of a women’s existence, her sweet spot.

When asked if douching was a good way to stay clean, he made the now so popular statement that the “vajayjay” is a self cleaning oven. He was quoted on Oprah as saying “”You have your own bacteria in there. They’re for you. You’re supposed to have them there. When you wipe them out with a vinegar douche, then you’re left with repopulating it with whatever happens to be nearby. It may not be what’s best for you,” he says.

Douching, Dr. Oz says, may even make you more likely to have some problems, such as ectopic pregnancies and infections that can cause infertility. “It’s a big problem. That’s why I don’t think there’s any really good reason to douche. Period,” Dr. Oz says.

Keeping the vagina clean externally is important, and Dr. Oz says you should always wipe front to back to prevent urinary tract infections. And if you are worried about something in that area, you should go to a doctor and get treatment—Dr. Oz says that covering up problems with a douche won’t solve anything.

Oh Dr. Oz, tell them about SweetSpot Labs wipettes!

Itchy Business

scratchy catBy Holly

One of the reasons I love what I do is because I get to spread valuable information throughout the Sweet Talk community.

In a recent email, a friend asked my advice on some personal discomfort she was experiencing.

After turning 40, she noticed that she seemed to be plagued by vaginal itching and irritation whenever she and her husband were intimate — which, after the birth of their daughter, wasn’t all that frequent. Sometimes it would resolve itself, but other times she found herself going to her doctor for treatment. Being someone with an aversion to taking a lot of medications, she asked me if I knew of anything else she could try. Read More »


Did the period fairy visit you when you were a girl?

I was watching the episode called “Celebrity Pharmacology” on Community the other day and I had to laugh when Annie said she had saved up all her money from when the “period fairy” would come. Now that is a seriously creative parent (ok, I know this is just a TV show, but maybe that really happened to one of the writers!?) But really? She got rewarded for something that was inevitable? What about “Ahh, I’m sorry, let’s go out for some ice cream” or “why don’t I take you shopping” or “let’s go get our nails done”. But I think the best gift would have to be the Hormone Harmony gift set from SweetSpot Labs! It’s like confidence in a box.

How to Maintain your Brazilian Wax

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!
