Is it safe to put ice in your vagina bc i saw it on tik tok (well the woman was hinting at it anyway)
Social media is full of new info - you’ll find loads of interesting content, but also lots of not so accurate stuff 🤔
With that in mind, it's super important to be careful when it comes to social media trends and health advice – and a recent trend really shows why this is the case…and this is putting ice inside your vagina.
Putting ice directly in your vagina is not safe at all 🧊
Your vagina is very sensitive and delicate, and extreme temperatures can cause discomfort or harm, such as ice burns and even getting stuck 😖
So, whatever people online ‘claim’ the benefits are - they 🙅♀️ will 🙅♀️ not 🙅♀️ be 🙅♀️ worth 🙅♀️ it and won't be true!
