A member asked:
I'm 35 weeks pregnant & i have been blow drying my vagina after i shower. can that cause an air embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the vagina!: If a woman is blow-drying her vagina, either she is doing something bad (vaginas must stay moist forever) or she is calling something a vagina when in fact it is not her vagina. What that means is nobody blows dry her vagina. On the other hand, blow-drying pubic hair and the outer labia is ok to do. That's her vulva, not her vagina. It's like North Carolina and South Carolina... different places.
