'Vabbing' is the latest trend on TikTok. If you haven't heard about it yet, we apologize in advance for learning about it now.
Vabbing is coined as a portmanteau of the words "vagina" and "dabbing"*.
*Dabbing - here it translates as applying something soft and moist.
The term refers to people who use vaginal fluid as perfume.
The idea came from TikToker Mandy Lee, who insisted it boosted her success in attracting men. She has since deleted the original post, but others have followed in her stead.
Ever since that TikTok post, the internet has gone crazy over the trend.
Some people have expressed horror at the use of eau de vagina , while others have described it as a feminist empowerment movement - where women embrace their natural scent rather than feeling ashamed.
The theory behind vabbing is that female pheromones found in vaginal secretions are useful for attracting a partner.
However, doctors like Erick Janssen say there is no basis to give vabbing any kind of scientific approval.
Okay, enough internet for today!
