Hey Queen! How is the new year treating you? We are well underway in manifesting greatness over here at V Line Headquarters! This year is going to be so full of absolute amazingness and we can’t wait to bring you along!
While the V Team was getting our list of goals, projects and this year’s manifestations together, we sat down with all the necessities and thought what can we, do to supplement a healthy eating routine while keeping our vagina in mind?
I’m sure by now we all have a familiar idea on what is healthy (or not) for our Vagina. We are all different, so here’s where it gets tricky. Although you may have a generally healthy lifestyle, there are times your Vagina just needs a bit of extra help. These simple adjustments to your diet can totally affect how your Vagina feels and I’ve learned these silly mistakes more times than I care to admit! So here are the details on a few vaginal issues you may have come across and how prioritizing your vaginal health (and yourself) can be a form of self care. Please feel free to share with your circle of queens; because, well..it takes a village!
pH issues? Maybe you don’t even know you have this trouble. What if you had a new odor, more discharge than usual or slight itching? These can all be the tell tale signs of an unbalanced pH. Your body can quickly become unbalanced due to using soaps with fragrances (We always recommend our Clean Queen Vulva Wash), wearing tight fitted clothing, or even eating too many processed foods also high in sugar. The solution is easy, however. Eating lots of probiotic rich food like sauerkraut, plain yogurt, kombucha and drinking lots of water!
Irregularity is probably the most common symptom a woman can experience. Irregular blood flow and reduced estrogen levels can lead to infertility, irregular periods, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can be directly related to stress, menopause, or other hormonal changes. Let’s start at one of the easiest foods to incorporate. Consuming any citrus fruits allow women to become less likely to develop uterine fibroids! Rich antioxidant foods you may like to incorporate would be pomegranates, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apples and goji berries. Supplementing your diet with phytoestrogens or compounds that mimic estrogen in the body ( like minimally-processed soy edamame, tofu, tempeh & miso) that allow you to retain more water and are beneficial for the skin.
Avocado, the final super food that we will discuss could be the solution to your libido issues! Yep, you heard that right! Your favorite avocado toast breakfast may actually be better for you than you realized! In addition to hormonal changes, vaginal dryness & weakened vaginal walls can be the leading cause for your less-than active libido. Avocado’s are full of healthy fats, vitamin B6 and potassium. All amazing, all natural supplements within an avocado to help with lubrication, estrogen levels, strengthening the vaginal walls, and may even increase IVF success!
If you are worried about the health of your bikini area, attempting to focus on what foods not to eat are key! Processed foods with added sugars and trans fats can send your lady bits into a frenzy! These unhealthy foods can make your urine more acidic causing a foul odor, among other symptoms. Common foods to avoid before a night or weekend away are garlic, asparagus, onions, brussel sprouts, fish, coffee, red meat, spicy foods and certain vitamin supplements like choline. Want to stay fresh, we have all the products to help! From our Clean Queen Vagina Wash to our Intimate lighting scrubs V Line Women Intimate Skincare is always here!

The shower is where all of the greatest epiphanies happen, so we’re big fans of extending that time by a few extra minutes. If you’re not using a booty scrub in the shower yet, let us indulge you.
The skin on our cheeks below the belt is just like the skin on the rest of your body. Dead skin cells buildup, clogged pores are an issue and some folks even struggle with acne on their butt.

Doing this helps reduce long-term scarring, hyperpigmentation and other unfavorable skin concerns. For folks who struggle with keratosis pilaris, stretch marks and butt acne, exfoliation is crucial.
Booty scrubs can also create a more permeable surface for lotions and hydrators to do their best work. Always remember to slather your favorite moisturizer on your butt cheeks after exfoliating in the shower. A hydrated booty is a happy booty.
When we exfoliate, we typically tend to massage our muscles and tissue without even thinking about it. Moving a booty scrub around in a circular motion on your cheeks helps activate some important processes in your skin like collagen production. Collagen production and skin toning are two essential pieces of healthy, radiant skin. So, as you stimulate those collagen producing cells, your skin will reach a more even tone.
If we’re keeping it real, we’re huge fans of booty scrubs and all things skin care. We work way too hard to not pamper ourselves with the bare minimum.

]]>Whatever do we mean by that? The days of inflammation and irritation are over. We’re no longer living in 2002 and our vaginas shouldn’t be either. If you are heading out for a vacation or you’ll be skipping out on a few of your regular vajacial appointments, let’s set you up with a solid DIY plan to keep your vagina happy in between visits.
If you’re new to the world of the vajacials, let us acquaint you. A vajacial focuses on a spa treatment for the vulva, paying careful attention to your bikini line and outer labia. It does not include treating the inside of your vagina, but instead your pubic area as a whole.
You can think of a vajacial as a facial for your vagina. A facial focuses on the deep cleansing and relief offered to the skin on your face during a spa treatment. Utilizing steam, vitamins and a specific cleansing method, vajacials are a gift from the goddesses.
If you’re due for a bikini or Brazilian wax, you might be curious when the best time to perform your at-home vajacial is. If you have been getting consistent vajacials once or twice a month, you’ll want to plan for around 10 days after getting waxed. This gives your hair time to grow just beneath the skin, creating an ideal environment to loosen any type of ingrown hairs or clogged pores.
Picture the way you feel after a facial appointment. Your skin is glowing, you're totally mesmerized by the release of dopamine and serotonin in your body and your pores are cleaner than the sparkling walls of the Sistine chapel. Vajacials have an incredible slew of benefits that if performed consistently, produce desirable results and an evolution of sorts for your skin.
A vajacial can release any tension that will cause pores to develop ingrown hairs, prevent bumpy skin and even address hyperpigmentation. Smoothing the skin around your bikini line, they can even prevent acne and keep your skin hydrated.
With this level of attention to detail, the exfoliation during your DIY vajacial helps to clear away dead skin cells and stimulate blood flow to keep your skin happy and healthy. Our pubic area is home to some of the most sensitive skin on our bodies. Treating it with a little tender love and care ensures favorable results and opportunities for your skin to breathe.
If you’re getting ready to do your first vajacial at home, there’s a few solid steps to take to make sure you get the most out of your time and energy.
First things first. You’ll want to start off your DIY vajacial with a va-gentle cleanser (we know that was a stretch). This can be done in the shower or during a bath, or if you don’t have time, we won’t judge you if you toss your leg up on the side of the sink.
Cleansing your bikini area with warm water can help open up your pores and allow your skin to reap the benefits of your scrubs and masks that follow.
There are endless scrubs to choose from and our best advice is to choose the one attuned to your skin needs. VLine’s Cacao Chocolate Vagina Scrub is gentle, and safe exfoliant for all skin types. Take a good dip into your exfoliating scrub and gently rub it around your entire pubic area. This will give your skin a little resurfacing and help even out tone and texture. As your exfoliating scrub removes dead skin cells, you’ll notice that your skin will become softer than you’ve felt in quite some time.
After washing the exfoliating scrub away, if you have a few extra minutes, putting on a rejuvenating mask can help soothe your skin and allow your pores to soak up the delicious ingredients to help keep your pubic area and vulva hydrated.
In the final step to this simple process is to simply lather up and your favorite moisturizer. We recommend VLine’s Whipped Coco Rose Vaginal Moisturizer for an all-natural moisturizer with a bunch of benefits. It seals things off at the perfect moment, closing the pores and calming your skin's surface.

If you have more questions about how to bring the vajacial experience home, browse our product line and begin your journey.
]]>If you’re not on the laser hair removal or wax train and have no plans to be: we respect your choice. Folks with and without pubic hair are always wondering how to prevent ingrown hairs and bumps either post bikini wax, or in general. We’re here to help you elevate your skincare and keep your bikini area happy to be a participant.
You may notice that certain areas of your body don’t react to shaving or waxing the way your bikini area does. Your bikini area skin is sensitive, and it doesn’t have the rough around the edges type of thickness that the skin on your legs does.
Ingrown hairs, bumps and razor burn are super common after a Brazilian wax or shave. It could be as simple as an allergy to the wax itself or the simplicity of skin sensitivity. Either way, understanding the cause and how to treat ingrown hairs and bumps can keep you pain and discomfort free.
Many folks may develop folliculitis after a waxing session. Folliculitis is triggered by inflammation after hair removal. A pimple-like, rough textured rash will form, leaving you with some understandable discomfort.
While this is a common occurrence, keeping an eye on it can help you identify if your skin is on the right track to healing, or developing a mild infection. If it’s the latter, seek advice from your esthetician or dermatologist.
Folks who have curly or coarse pubic hair are often more susceptible to ingrowns and razor burn. Since curly hair forms a spiral, it is very likely to re-enter the skin as it bends and curls around. With this knowledge, you can take the steps necessary to exfoliate and know exactly how to care for your bikini area.
One of the most missed steps during waxing is proper aftercare. Aftercare is still part of your waxing appointment. It is the single most important thing you can do to hydrate and seal up those pores. If there’s one thing you can do to prevent ingrown hairs, it's to follow proper aftercare steps.
After your wax appointment, whether it’s a Brazilian wax or a touchup bikini wax, taking care of your skin can help reduce inflamed skin and keep irritated skin at bay. Plus, if you stay consistent with your sessions, you’ll notice your skin getting used to the routine.
After waxing, you'll want to avoid high heat temperatures like hot tubs or showers. Refrain from tanning, exercising and make sure to dress in loose fitting clothing. One of the most challenging aspects may be to not touch or scratch an itch post wax. Touching the area with unwashed hands in general is a big no no, and can leave you more susceptible to developing an infection.
Being intentional with your post wax session means acknowledging that your skin is in a vulnerable state, and the best thing you can do for it is to give it a little extra tender love and care.
Knowing which products to use is the biggest part of the battle. And with a little dialing in, you’ll have the perfect routine to get you started.
Moisturizers are like the big hugs of the skincare industry. They’re the ones who will tuck you in and remind you that everything is going to be okay in the morning.
Using an organic blend of raw, cold pressed virgin coconut oil and tons of nutrients like omega fatty acids, our Whipped Coco Rose Moisturizer is your new best friend. Applying this moisturizer after exfoliating will help hydrate and soothe your freshly waxed skin.
Remember that exfoliants mean we’re saying goodbye to dead skin cells and dull appearance. We’re bidding big pores adieu and encouraging new growth and radiance. An external exfoliator made from organic almond meal, cacao and raw coconut oil is the deliciously fragrant exfoliator your heart desires. A few days after your wax, use our Cacao Chocolate Vagina Scrub to exfoliate your bikini area.
Combining those moisturizers and exfoliants will prepare you for a safe healing and keep the healthier version of your skin growing strong and effortless. Keep an eye out for these items in a trio set, and if you’re curious about which products may suit your skin type, don’t hesitate to send us a message! We’re here to help answer any questions you have about our products.
]]>The classic bush is just as lovable as the landing strip. And if that’s not your cup of tea, baring all is always an option. Regardless of your preference, especially for those who are somewhere in-betweeners, knowing how to exfoliate your pubic region can help you tend to and maintain a soft, ingrown free bikini area.
The art of maintaining a smooth bikini line area requires patience, skill and external resources.
We talk about exfoliating our faces as a normal part of our routine. So why should your bikini area be any different?
When we exfoliate our skin, we prime it to be able to do its best work. Allowing our skin cells to regenerate by removing dead cells paves the way for softer, smoother skin. This is especially important for the skin on and around the pubic region, given its sensitivity, making it an area that’s more prone to irritation and inflammation.
Let’s be clear, our bikini area stretches beyond where we think it should. Our bikini area includes our upper thigh area, low abdomen area and pubic region. It even includes our butt and every sensitive area in between.
Because the skin surrounding the pubic area is so thin, there are certain products designed specifically for it. And when utilized regularly and correctly, the results are beyond favorable.
Exfoliation is a gift from the heavens above. There’s absolutely nothing like the supple, smooth touch post-treatment. Eradicating the skin of bacteria, dirt and dead cells is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself. And let’s keep it real, vagina carriers know all about the type of bacterial breeding ground that can occur in the hotter months, with the bermuda triangle of conditions: tight clothing, heat and sweat.
It’s totally normal to be dealing with a more reactive pubic area, especially during those hotter months. This is all the more reason to keep that exfoliation schedule on point. Razor burn is a huge concern for folks who prefer shaving in general.
The stinging and redness that comes along with the rough skin texture can lead to aggravation beyond measure. Itchy pubic hair is also a common concern that exfoliation can address.
There are plenty of options when it comes to the method of exfoliation you’d like to use. The most common and often effective are vagina scrubs. Exfoliating before you start shaving and trimming will soften not only your skin but the hair you’re hoping to remove.
Gently applying an exfoliating vagina scrub it’s as easy as working in the small circular motions. You can apply light pressure, be mindful not to press down hard. Let the scrub do its thing and rinse your pubic region well.
The best products for exfoliating your bikini area are going to come directly from the earth. Mother earth has done an exceptional job of providing us with the staples for keeping our skin healthy and happy.

Of course, we live in a world where plenty of large corporations aren’t interested in the products that they’re selling and the safety of their clients. When it comes to scrubs and moisturizers, you want to keep an eye out for things like phthalates (endocrine disrupters), aluminum, parabens and the like.
Just like your post-wax or sugaring routine, the steps you take after exfoliating can either make or break the hard work and dollars you’ve put into your skin.
Be kind to your hair follicles and create an anti-inflammatory aftercare routine. Make sure to wear loose clothing post exfoliation. You can apply a cool, damp towel after exfoliating and moisturizing. This will help reduce irritation and give your skin the room it needs to breathe. In general, keeping your bikini area moisturized and hydrated after exfoliation is the best thing you can do for your skin.

It's crazy that in 2021 people still get weirded out when I describe this product that I think is absolutely amazing. Artisan Vegan Skincare for your Vagina. Yup, I said it.
Your Vagina has skin and it needs to be exfoliated and moisturized and definitely not with the same products you use on your face, that would be a little harsh don't you think?
Being in the skincare business for 10 plus years I was completely guilty of not taking care of the skin on my vagina. I of coursed cleansed her and sometimes moisturize her depending on the mood but nothing consistent and then OMG exfoliate her!?
Someone I had known for quite a few years started V Line Women and I seen posts on social media but for some reason it just didn't grab my attention. Then one day I got into my little "I need to support small businesses" mood and decided to purchase V Line Women's Cacao Chocolate Vagina Scrub and their Whipped Coco Rose Vagina Moisturizer. Literally, all it took was one experience in the shower with the scrub and I was hooked.
The scrub smells like a dessert and then it leaves your skin feeling so smooth and exfoliated. The moisturizer made my skin feel so soft and plumped, I had a spa experience in the privacy of my own home and loved every minute of it. I immediately called the owner/friend and apologized for not trying the product sooner and told her how proud I was that she created such an amazing product.
Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself. You can use the scrub up to three times a week and the moisturizer I use twice a day. I have a code that you can use for a discount.
Go to www.vlinewomen.com/discount/skinteawithmsb and type SKINTEAWITHMSB when you check out if it doesn't pop up on its own.
If you already have this product and love it as much as I do comment and let me know!

]]>After I had my daughter I definitely saw some changes in my body. Everything seemed more mature now. Extra fat in some places, less fat in others. My body seemed dehydrated and started to show darker pigment when I never had that issue before.
I was going to the store looking for products to help me feel like my old self again. So if you have ever been down the "feminine care" aisle of a store you know how horrible our options are. LITERALLY we have a 2 medicinal looking options and 2 that are bright and colorful with a cheeky name trying to entice us. That's it! Sorry but I don't need my Vagina to smell like a Cucumber Gimlet, I need the bare minimum amount of ingredients to help address some concerns with out throwing off my PH or putting harsh chemicals in to my body.
Did you know your Vagina is one of the most absorbable organs of your body? Why would you want to put chemicals on it that you can't even pronounce?
So I created a Luxury Vagina Skincare line made of raw, organic, cold pressed (keeping all the goodness) Coconut Oil. Our products are Gynecologist approved, preservative and fragrance free, chemical free, vegan, cruelty free and just all around good for you.
Our V products are packed full of Fatty Acid Omegas to help rebuild collagen to plump and firm your Vagina. The natural occurring Vitamin A, C and E in our products help to smooth and brighten and dark pigment on your Vagina, Inner thighs, or Butt. The coconut oil has natural anti microbials keeping odors and bacteria away.
Our products dry silky smooth making them a hit with all ages. Your vagina is rubbing up against clothes, panty liners, and maxi pads all day long. Why not create a beautiful barrier with our products to protect your delicate skin and keep in your moisture.
I love it, my clients love it, my family and friends love it and I know you will too. What are you waiting for, click the here to become a V Line Woman.
Oh and make sure you listen to our podcast V Line Women where ever you get your podcasts from!
