Is it safe to put ice in your vagina bc i saw it on tik tok (well the woman was hinting at it anyway)
Thanks for sending this in – you’re definitely not the only one who’s come across this online, and it’s great that you’re checking 💛
Social media can be full of creative and surprising ideas, but not all of them are safe (or true).
This is one of those times where the trend really isn’t worth it.
🧊 Putting ice inside your vagina is not safe: it’s a very sensitive and delicate area, and extreme cold can cause pain or ice burns
📱 Just because something is trending doesn’t mean it’s been fact-checked: a lot of “tips” online are based on myths, not science
🙅♀️ There are no benefits to doing this: and the risks massively outweigh any "positive" claims people might make
💬 if you ever see something online that feels confusing or makes you unsure, you can always talk to a trusted adult, or just Ask luna like you’ve done here.
You're doing the right thing by looking for reliable info and prioritising your health 🫶
