‘Mmm, you smell gorgeous, what are you wearing?’ ‘Thanks, it’s my Eau de Cooch!’<\/p>\n

Seventy years ago, movie icon Marilyn Monroe sparked an international scandal when she admitted that she slept naked \u2013 except for a delicate dab of Chanel no5 perfume behind her beautiful ears.
Fast forward to depravity-laden 2025 and it takes a lot more than sleeping in the nuddy to cause outrage.
However, there is a growing trend for dabbing a particular \u2018scent\u2019 behind the ears that IS causing \u2018shock and disgust\u2019 – and it will leave any sane person yearning for the good old days when a touch of something floral and citrussy was all that was required.
Introducing \u2018Vabbing\u2019 \u2013 which might sound odd but there\u2019s a grammatical clue in there if you look hard enough. That\u2019s right, we\u2019ve got \u2018vagina\u2019 and \u2018dabbing\u2019 locked together in a highly-scented embrace.
There\u2019s really no point in trying to write around this to make it sound mystical \u2013 so let\u2019s just go there! Vabbing is a process where a woman inserts her fingers into her vagina to gather up some of her natural bodily secretions. This is then applied to, well, wherever you\u2019d usually apply a perfume – pulse points and behind the ears\/neck are popular \u2013 in a bid to seduce a mate.<\/p>\n

Ladies can save a fortune on expensive perfume by simply using their own ‘Eau de Pusswa’<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fairly recent phenomenon with the trend first being spoken about just before Covid struck (let\u2019s just call that a coincidence, huh?) \u00a0But it\u2019s taken off again recently thanks to US influencer and TikTokker Mandy Lee, whose DIY Vabbing tutorial (does anyone actually need instructions for this?) has racked up over 1.5million views and has gone viral again on X.
Of course, the million-dollar question is; does it really work? The science part is hazy, but it\u2019s believed we are sub-consciously attracted to \u2018sex smells\u2019. Having said that, experts still can\u2019t be sure how human pheromones work as we don\u2019t pick up the signals from smells in the same way as animals. And the science behind vaginal secretion is also murky \u2013 it\u2019s apparently got something to do with aliphatic acids, but after that it gets confusing and you\u2019re only reading this for the laughs and the sex talk so let\u2019s not get weighed down by the six types of \u2018copulins\u2019 that can be found in females before ovulation. Anyway, it doesn\u2019t take a scientist to work out that there could possibly be something about Vabbing that works \u2013 at least a little bit.
And here\u2019s where it does get interesting. There are brave souls out there who\u2019ve given it a try and reported back with incredible results. Take this thrilled woman who wrote on Reddit, \u2018I\u2019ve tried it 4 times the past 2 weeks. Each night were nights when 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\u2019t keep his hands off me and the sex was extra spicy. I\u2019m going to keep testing it out, but so far so good!\u2019 WOOF! \u00a0And sex expert Dr Shan Boodram \u2013 who invented the phrase Vabbing \u2013 wrote in her book The Game of Desire, ‘I am certain that every single time I employ it, it makes me feel like an enchanted goddess with a delicious secret.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Hmm, I’m not sure if this really smells like vanilla…or is it bacterial vaginosis?’<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
That said, it\u2019s not for everyone. Take these comments on Reddit from women who have absolutely no intention of wiping their va-jay-jay juice anywhere, thank you very much. \u2018This is how the new wave of HPV will be spead\u2026\u2019,\u00a0 \u2018And this is why I don\u2019t hug people!\u2019\u2026\u2019 \u2018I’m a bisexual woman. I eat pussy, but no-one – and I mean no-one – wants to smell it on your neck or wrists!\u2019
Medical experts have also received the Vabbing trend with suspicion. Not only do they say it probably doesn\u2019t work, but they\u2019re worried about the health implications. Thorough hand-washing before Vabbing is a must, says one doctor, as \u2018dirty fingers could spread infection, cause pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial vaginosis or thrush\u2019. Hmmm, that probably wouldn\u2019t smell too good rubbed behind the ears\u2026
If all this wasn\u2019t quite ikky enough for you, the bad news is that there\u2019s a sub-trend called \u2018Vabbing in the Gym\u2019 where – you guessed it – ladies are scenting themselves with eau de coochie before a workout, in the hope of attracting a lover on the cross-trainer. This is yet another good reason for all of us remember to use an anti-bacterial wipe on equipment before\/after a workout\u2026 or in the words of this gym user, “Between Covid, monkeypox and ‘Vabbing’, it\u2019s crazy to see people still not wiping down gym equipment after they use it.\u2019 Wise words.<\/p>\n

Remember the first rule of Punani Perfume Club. WASH YOUR HANDS!<\/p>\n

So there you have it. To Vab, or not to Vab? We\u2019ll leave that up to you, but always wash your hands first and remember that it\u2019s probably best not to tell anyone if you do decide to try it as it could provoke a strong reaction.\u00a0 One man was filmed destroying his phone after watching a Vabbing video on TikTok, saying, \u2018I hope all these women are joking, that is disgusting!\u2019
For now, perhaps the safest way to enjoy the trend is to simply light one of Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s \u2018This Smells Like My Vagina\u2019 candles and soak up that fabulous lady scent\u2026<\/p>\n
