The vagina is the most famous part of the female genital tract, however, it still continues to generate curiosity to know more about its structure, its physiognomy, and its characteristics. Therefore, Chilly they share 10 curiosities about the vagina that will surely surprise you.
1. ”Vagina” is a word that comes from Latin and refers to the object in which bladed weapons were sheathed: ”sheath of a sword”.
2. The vagina measures approximately 8 cm and its width, distended, is about 4 cm in diameter.
3. Although the vagina appears as a cavity, it should be noted that it is always closed and that its muscles are adaptable.
4. Vaginal tissue is generally smooth to the touch, and changes in texture when stimulation occurs in the area known as the G-spot.
5. The G-spot is located about 6 cm from the vulva.
6. The outer third is the part of the vagina where the most pleasure is experienced.
The vagina measures approximately 8 cm and its width, distended, is about 4 cm in diameter.
7. The clitoris is 1cm long and is located at the junction of the labia minora. The clitoris contains 8,000 nerve endings; the penis, barely 4,000.
8. The vagina can grow up to 200% during intercourse. And, when orgasm approaches, the vagina decreases in size by 30%, as the muscles of the vulva contract abruptly.
9. Squalene is present in vaginal discharge and is a substance that can be found in the liver of sharks, being a natural lubricant. As a curiosity, squalene is used both in cosmetics and in some types of vaccines against influenza and malaria.
10. Excess hygiene is bad for the vagina, as it has a specific pH different from the rest of the body and therefore requires specific and exclusive care to respect the vaginal ecosystem.
To maintain optimal hygiene, we have specific products for intimate hygiene such as Chilly Gel, which provides a sensation of freshness and lasting protection, to wash your intimate area without damaging it, and respecting the natural physiological balance of natural mucous membranes. It is enriched with natural menthol, which produces an effective refreshing action, enhanced with an anti-odor molecule, effective against odors.
Dr. Belén Gómez, a gynecologist at Hospital Infanta Leonor and a regular collaborator with Chilly, recalls that the same body soap cannot be used for the intimate area, since they tend to have more aggressive perfumes and components, and, ”the vagina is not protected by skin, except for the external part of the genitalia (the labia majora and minora), its main structure being the vaginal mucosa. The mucous membranes are much more exposed and are more vulnerable to infections than the skin itself, which is why it is so important to respect the vaginal ecosystem so that the conditions are not favorable for the possible growth of exogenous germs”.
