Just like how eating mint can freshen your breath, the vulva is another orifice that is susceptible to certain foods and smells. Pineapple, citrus fruits and other sweet vegetables have been anecdotally linked to making the vulva taste (and smell) better.
The vulva’s taste can change depending on hormone fluctuations during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. A diet and lifestyle changes may also play a role.
Pineapple
Most girls know that a certain type of pineapple can make their pussy taste sweet. However, not many of us know how that works or why it happens. This is one of those myths that has never been scientifically proven and the only reason that people believe it is because of popular culture. Pineapple is a great fruit that provides the body with much needed Vitamin C. It can also provide a girl with a variety of other health benefits. But don’t waste your time trying to eat pineapple in order to have your vagina smell better. It is a good idea to visit the doctor if your vagina starts to smell fishy or foul. It may be a sign of an infection such as bacterial vaginosis.
While there is no scientific proof that a girl’s diet can change how her pussy tastes or smells, some girls on forums swear that eating pineapple, citrus fruits and cucumber makes their vagina feel and taste sweeter down there. Other foods like onions, garlic, red meat and dairy can cause your pussy to taste grassier or muskier. It is also important to note that your vagina will taste and smell different than the next girl’s, because of individual physiology.
Having a healthy, clean vagina is what will help it to smell and taste the way that it does. So go ahead and eat your pineapple and don’t worry about how it will affect your pussy.
Berries
If you’re someone who believes that your vagina should taste sweet, then you might be surprised to know that the things you eat have the power to change the way your vulva or clitoris tastes and smells. For example, if you eat asparagus or drink wheatgrass shots, your coochie may take on the smell and flavor of those foods. Similarly, eating spicy or highly spiced foods can affect how your vagina, urine, or semen tastes.
There’s no scientific evidence to support this theory, but many women believe that certain fruits and vegetables can make their vulva and clitoris taste better or worse. For instance, pineapple is a natural sweetener and some people claim that it can make their semen or vaginal fluids taste sweeter during oral sex. Another popular fruit that can supposedly sweeten your vulva is cranberries, which are full of antioxidants and are good for vaginal health.
Other popular vulva-friendly fruits include bananas, apples, oranges, and cherries. Berries are also high in folic acid, which helps fight off candida, and they contain the phytoestrogen phloridzin, which can help to balance the pH levels of your vulva. Yogurt is also a great option because it contains lots of lactic acid bacteria, which can help prevent yeast infections and maintain the health of your vulva. You can also find lactic acid bacteria in other dairy products, such as kefir and buttermilk, as well as in fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled veggies, miso, and tempeh.
Fruit Juice
The idea that pineapple makes your vulva taste sweet is a myth, but you can still get your fix of fruity flavor down there by drinking lots of berry juice. Berries are a great choice because they are high in antioxidants and can help you maintain a healthy pH balance in your vulva.
Your diet and hygienic practices can also impact how your vulva tastes and smells. If you notice a change in taste or smell, contact your doctor as it may be a sign of an infection like yeast, bacterial vaginosis, or trichomoniasis.
Incorporating more foods that taste good down there can make oral sex more pleasurable for both you and your partner. For example, eating mint (like in gum or minty toothpaste) can make your vulva taste fresher. Or, you could try sipping on some mint-infused water before you head to sex.
Celery, parsley, and wheatgrass are other foods that can give your vulva a clean taste and scent because they contain chlorophyll, which is known to neutralize odors. Eating more probiotics-rich foods like yogurt and sauerkraut can also help, as they can add beneficial bacteria to your vulva. This can help prevent yeast infections and other unpleasant odours. Mint can also numb the sensitivity of the tongue that some women experience during sexual activity.
Water
Most women’s vaginas smell a little salty and can taste a bit metallic at times, especially near the start of their cycle. That’s perfectly normal if you’re healthy, says Laura Purdy, MD, board-certified family medicine physician and chief medical officer at sexual health company Wisp.
That said, certain foods can make your pussy taste a little different than usual. Asparagus and garlic are known to change the taste of urine and feces, respectively, and some women say that eating fenugreek (which has been dubbed the “love herb” for its supposed libido-boosting effects) makes their juices down there taste sweeter. Other people swear that eating citrus fruits, cucumber, and pineapple makes their juices down there taste more natural.
In general, the best way to keep your vagina healthy is by consuming a healthy diet and staying well-hydrated. That includes avoiding certain foods that are bad for the body, including processed meats, sugary drinks, and some cheeses. It’s also a good idea to wear loose, comfortable underwear and avoid putting on too much perfume while down there.
If you notice any significant changes in how your vulva tastes or smells, be sure to talk to your doctor. A fishy odor, for example, could be a sign of bacterial vaginosis or another infection and should be addressed as soon as possible.
