Woman tried bizarre 'vabbing' trend in the bedroom - here's what happened

The bizarre bedroom trend of 'vabbing' is back - and women are sharing their experiences of trying it.

Now, it's normal for your sex drive to ebb and flow, especially if you're in a long-term relationship, and over the years experts have advised a number of ways you can spice things up again.

From introducing toys into the bedroom to trying out role play or even simply setting out a date and time to ahem, do it, different couples have their own methods for getting raunchy again after a dry spell.

However, this trend takes the cake for the strangest way people have tried to get back under the sheets - and it's not just for couples, as singletons are also giving it a go to up their dating game and attract a partner.

Sorry in advance if you're eating your lunch as the whole thing is quite stomach-turning.

'Vabbing' is the words 'vagina' and 'dabbing' combined - do you see where we're going with this? Essentially, women are using the fluid produced inside their vagina as a perfume, dabbing the liquid where your fragrance would traditionally be applied or sprayed, such as your neck and wrists.

I know what you're thinking, why on Earth would anyone want to do that?

Well, it's all part of the question of whether the 'natural scent' of a woman is something that can be used as a way of arousing the opposite sex.

Scientific studies do argue that many animals use pheromones to signal sexual readiness, so the women trying this could be on to something.

However, unsurprisingly there's been so specific research on 'vabbing' and as per Healthline, there’s actually little research showing that pheromones affect human mating behaviour - it's not even clear whether humans actually possess pheromones.

One woman who's tried the trend, which first originated on TikTok a few years back, took to Reddit to report whether it worked - and she was pleasantly surprised.

The social media user penned: "I just saw it on a show (X-rated with Andy Cohen) and tried it 4 times the past two weeks.

"Each night were nights my husband said he was too tired for sex and had rolled over for bed. I got laid each time I tried it. (I put on my neck and reached over to hug and kiss him goodnight).

"He couldn’t keep his hands off me and the sex was extra spicy. I’m going to keep testing it out, but so far so good!"

Unimpressed through, others replied with: "And this is why I'll never go anywhere near TikTok" and "Gonna give this one a pass. Yikes."

While the trend isn't dangerous, health experts have warned that it comes with risks and as to be expected, hygiene issues.

"If you use dirty fingers inside your vagina to collect discharge you can not only potentially traumatise the tissue in your vagina and but also spread infection, potentially causing something as serious as a pelvic inflammatory disease," Dr Dimitriadi, a private cosmetic surgeon at the Centre for Surgery in Paddington, London, explained to MailOnline.

She added: "Dirty fingers could also cause bacterial vaginosis or thrush. If you have bacterial vaginosis or thrush your discharge can be malodorous and will not help you attract a partner."

I think I'll be sticking to traditional perfume for now...
