A Gynecologist Shares 7 Tips You Need to Know About Your Vagina and Working Out
No matter where you're working out, you're probably sweating - a lot! Have you thought about what that means for your vagina? Probably not, but board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist Jodie Horton, MD believes you should!
Exercising is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind, but what can exercise do to your vagina? "There's a lot of sweating and friction that can wreak havoc down there," Dr. Horton said, especially if you wear skin-tight leggings. After your workout, it's important to freshen up, and you need to make sure to pay extra attention to your vagina in order to prevent uncomfortable or painful infections like yeast infections or urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Dr. Horton explained that we have bacteria all over our body to protect us against bad bacteria that want to enter the body to cause disease. These good bacteria act like guards to fight the harmful bacteria that can make us sick. This happens in the vagina, too. "Normal vaginal flora is made up mainly of Lactobacillus species [a good bacteria], which promotes a healthy vaginal environment. Lactobacilli produce hydrogen peroxide that makes the vaginal pH acidic between 3.8 and 4.5," she said. This acidic environment makes it difficult for harmful bacteria and yeast to grow and cause common infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections.
When you exercise, all that sweating can introduce extra moisture and bad bacteria that can be a breeding ground that leads to infection. Here are her tips to keep your vagina fresh and clean during and after a workout.
- Wear moisture-wicking breathable workout clothes with a cotton crotch to allow airflow. Materials like nylon and lycra can trap moisture and heat, which can cause bacteria to multiply, possibly resulting in infection. Try to avoid these materials if you are susceptible to infections.
- Go commando. Even wearing cotton underwear adds another layer that can cause irritation and trap moisture.
- Ditch the thongs. The thong's friction and movement can introduce E. coli from the anus into the vagina and lead to potential urinary and vaginal infections.
- Change your clothes as soon as you finish your workout. Dr. Horton said to always keep clean, dry clothes with you to change into afterward because bacteria loves dark, moist places, and staying in your sweaty clothes can lead to infection. It's the same reason you shouldn't stay in a wet bathing suit.
- If you have time, take a shower. Wash your vulva with warm water and mild fragrance-free soap, and gently pat the vagina dry before putting new clothes on because, as mentioned above, excessive moisture and bacteria can lead to infection. In a hurry? Keep vaginal wipes handy in your gym bag, purse, or bathroom.
- Avoid using any douching products, deodorants, or sprays to mask odors. Your vagina is self-cleaning, and Dr. Horton explained that using these products can disrupt the normal pH of the vagina and reduce the number of Lactobacilli living there. If you get frequent infections, make sure to always wash your workout clothes after each use with a fragrance-free hypoallergenic detergent.
- Take a probiotic. Dr. Horton said, "Taking a probiotic can help restore the vagina's normal flora and decrease the risk of recurrent vaginal infections." Look for one that contains Lactobacillus, which is the same bacteria found in the vagina that keeps it slightly acidic so bad bacteria can't survive.
These Reality Series on Netflix Will Give You Major Selling Sunset Vibes

I Have a Phobia, and I Wish People Understood Just How Debilitating It Can Be
When people hear about phobias, they usually think that they're silly or over-exaggerated - but while phobias are, in fact, irrational, that does not make them any less frightening or crippling for those of us who live with them.
I know this because I live with a serious phobia: emetophobia, or the fear of vomit. I don't remember how or when it began. I have an anxiety disorder, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I have had all three for most of my life, despite not being diagnosed until college. For years, I've tried to trace back what "caused" my phobia and have come up empty handed, beyond it being linked to my other mental health issues. Phobias are somewhat common in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, specifically. While OCD is often thought of as an obsession with cleanliness and checking things like whether or not you locked the door, for many people, obsessive and intrusive thoughts are a large part of the disorder. These can include phobias.
While phobias are, in fact, irrational, that does not make them any less frightening or crippling for those of us who live with them.
My specific phobia tends to escalate in times of extreme stress. In college, when I was under a significant amount of stress, I noticed that my anxiety about the idea of me or someone close to me getting sick began to skyrocket. At that time, I worked at a call center. Instead of being able to brush it off, I started worrying about using the restroom at work. Most of the time, I would ask a friend to "check" the restroom first, making sure that no one was actively ill before I entered. After awhile, even that was not enough for me and I would use my lunch break to drive home and use my bathroom instead of eating lunch. On days when I could not go home, I would hold it until the end of my shift, resulting in a bladder infection that spread to my kidneys and made me so ill I was nearly hospitalized.
While something like using a restroom seems simple for most folks, phobias can affect daily activities in extreme ways. For example, a severe fear of flying can keep people from traveling, even for important family events. People with a fear of public speaking may lose out on opportunities for advancement at work or doing well in school if they refuse to speak in front of others. Phobias may seem ridiculous, but the consequences of suffering from one can be serious and far-reaching.
Even when my stress levels aren't as high, this phobia makes my life extremely complicated. I never lived in dorms or drank in college. I'm also not able to enjoy concerts or music festivals at times because of my deep fear of someone near me becoming ill. Before I see movies, I check a website that notifies parents of all kinds of potentially upsetting scenes in films, so I can decide whether to forgo the movie or simply leave the theater during a scene that might be triggering. When I'm at my most anxious, flying is nearly impossible. While these things may feel small or silly, they impact how I spend my time and the things I do.
Like many people with phobias and OCD, I have rituals, routines, and habits designed to keep me from encountering the thing I'm afraid of, or to prevent something bad from happening. I have a protocol in place for any time I feel nauseous. But while there's no "cure" for my phobia, it has gotten better. I've been working on my general anxiety for years now, and I have fast-acting medications, mantras, and breathing exercises that really help me when I'm forced to confront my fear. I've been in regular therapy since I was 19, where we often focus on reducing the number of intrusive thoughts I experience.
While I still experience fear, on the average day, it does not change the things I do in most cases. I've learned to live within the phobia and to most people, on the outside, my life and behaviors appear to be "normal." Those close to me are aware of my fear, as well as my other diagnoses, and I welcome their help and support when I'm struggling.
Not everyone understands the severity of this phobia, or of phobias in general, but I try to be patient and kind when I encounter people who do not take it seriously. Most of all, I try to be patient and kind with myself. I remind myself that I did not choose this phobia, and that there is nothing "wrong" with me, just like there is nothing wrong with anyone with any other mental illness. Instead, I do the best I can to live a normal life and not beat myself up when my phobia gets the best of me.

These Reality Series on Netflix Will Give You Major Selling Sunset Vibes
If you're a Selling Sunset fan, then you know that the series is about way more than high-end Los Angeles real estate. Revolving around the agents at The Oppenheim Group, the popular Netflix series has just as much drama as it has multimillion dollar deals, which is what makes it so entertaining. Maybe you're more interested in the fabulous mansions featured on the show than the petty fights. Maybe you're even more into the home staging process than the houses themselves. No matter what part of Selling Sunset appeals to you, we've rounded up some series on Netflix that will keep you entertained until Selling Sunset is (hopefully) renewed for a fourth season.

We only have one season left of Frankie's amazing one-liners and witty sarcasm, so in honor of our favorite character, check out 20 of her greatest moments in GIF form. These will truly fill your day with laughs.
Zac Efron to Star in Three Men and a Baby Reboot - Here's Who Should Play the Other 2
Zac Efron is getting his head back in the Disney game! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Efron will be starring in a remake of Three Men and a Baby for Disney+ - a big reunion for both the film company and the High School Musical star. No other details have been revealed, but the 1987 comedy originally starred Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson as New York bachelors Peter, Michael, and Jack, respectively. However, the real question is: who will join Efron in the reboot? We have a few ideas.
Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller
Efron already has experience paling around with Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller from their 2014 rom-com That Awkward Moment - this would be easy work for these guys. Plus, I could totally see Teller growing out a strong Sellack-style 'stache.
Corbin Bleu and Lucas Grabeel
OK, hear me out. We haven't seen Efron, Bleu, and Grabeel reunite onscreen since their High School Musical days, but what better way for them to reunite than on another Disney project? All in favor, "wave your hands up in the air!"
Henry Golding and John Boyega
Alright, I just feel deep in my bones that this trio would work. We haven't seen John Boyega do a ton of comedic acting, but let's be real, he carried most of the funny Star Wars moments (from the last few years) on his back. My one demand is that both Henry Golding and Boyega keep their accents for filming.
Zac Efron, Zac Efron, and Zac Efron
Let's just give this whole movie the Parent Trap treatment and have Efron play all three parts. Which man is he? Who cares! He's all of them. Hell, make him the baby, too.
Just Two Other Men Who Know How to Take Care of a Baby
You know what the only real requirement for this movie should be? That all three characters don't act like it's totally weird for men to take care of a baby. Maybe they're not naturals from the get-go (Although, why not? Changing diapers is an equal opportunity job!), but the fumbling around and the acting terrified of caretaking tasks is tired. Sign my petition to make childcare responsibilities normal! Just kidding . . . but really.
