Call It what It Is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Ludington, an iHeartRadio podcast.

Well, Hello, Hello, Hello.

Hello, call It crew, and welcome to another episode of Short and Sweet.

Let's give a little backstory.

I sent this headline to you, this article to you, and it was the most annoying headline I've ever seen in my life.

The eye roll I did lasted maybe an hour.

I was like pissed.

Actually, I was like, I don't need this in my life.

Why don't you read the headline that I sent you?

Does my vagina need a skincare routine?

Jessica Capshaw, I don't need this.

I'm tired.

Let it if I need to start worrying about what whether I'm I don't know, wrinkle free.

What are we talking about here?

We talk about botox and filler.

Well, we've talked about scrow talks.

So we have talked about scow talks.

Let's talk about it.

Okay, there's just but there.

I'm just gonna interject.

It's a little it's a little off brand for me because it's a little pessimistic.

But I just it's it's sort of smacks of.

Capitalism and consumerism, like it seems like we're just being told that we need to buy stuff.

And to be honest.

Okay, So this was an article from The Cut and it tackles the booming trend of vaginal skin, from cleansers and ceriums to v drops.

Never heard of that and luxury formulas they're flooding TikTok and sophora.

I thought to myself, I've never seen a headline that says, do my balls need a skincare routine?

So I felt like this is a little misogynistic if you're asking me, well, it feels like the.

First wave was, you know, just hair removal, Like it felt like, you know, vaginas were under attack from all angles.

They needed to be completely stripped.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then now that they're now that they're just free and naked in the world and of anything, you need to also get like polished and serummed and steamed.

And have you heard Okay, I've heard of steamed because you know, I you know, I love a goop.

I love a Goop episode.

So I heard of steaming the vagina.

Okay, I've heard of that.

Have you heard before I send you this?

Had you heard of vaginal a vaginal skincare routine where someone's going to go to bed and they're like, I'm just gonna do my space and my vagina quick.

Before bed.

They put on one of those like Jessica, you know those.

Like headbands you have your hair.

It was like a vagina aad band.

You gotta get it ready.

I think that the vaginas that are getting skincare again are bald.

I mean maybe they are, maybe they're not.

I don't think that there's I don't think there's hair standing in their way.

I think no, I hadn't heard of a skincare routine for listen.

I'm a very clean person, like I like things very clean.

Yes, I'm a tidy person, absolutely so.

I mean I put at tension on during the like when you're in the shower or the bath.

Well, we're not letting it get swampy.

Yeah, But I'm saying like, like when I wake up in the morning or when I go to bed at night, I didn't I'm not aware that there's actually an extra step that needs to be taken in a skin like in a skincare regime.

I think that I get that sorted in my normal you know, showering or bathing process.

Well thankfully, obg yn doctor ericat Neulan and dermatologist doctor Michelle Henry disagree with this skincare routine situation.

And this this next part.

Kind of creeps me out.

I don't really want to hear go ahead saying, I'm gonna.

Say it because it's true.

Well, our vaginas, they maintain that our vaginas are self cleaning.

I mean, that's a that's a beautiful thing that our vagina.

It's fine, but the self cleaning part makes me feel like like our like like our vaginas have like rumbas or something like that, like they've got it, like there's some part of them that cleans themselves automatically.

Wait, you don't have a rumba, not in my vagina.

Oh well you must know.

Like one of those pool cleaners that just like.

Roams around cleaning the bottom of.

Oh my god, I've never had that visual.

That is absurd.

And this is what I've always heard.

You should typically just use warm water or a very gentle, fragrance free cleansa.

Wow, that was so British.

Cleansing when needed on the vulva, which is the external area of the vagina and why.

For a second.

Let's just talk about that for a second.

What the word bulva?

Yeah, I knew you're going to say it.

Yeah, it's I don't I think we could have come up with something a little bit more just.

I'm sure a lot of people are going to disagree, But I don't think she's a cute word.

I don't think she's a cute word either.

I don't think penis is much better.

By the way, It's not like I think.

No, I just I don't understand why all I know, I know, I know, I.

Do agree, Okay, why do Why do these doctors think?

This is?

Because many products can disrupt your pH irritate delicate skin, and do more harm than good.

In short, less is more.

Absolutely, this is what I think is insane about this.

I've heard this for many years, as you have, as so many of us have.

I don't know what am I like?

What am am I doing?

Appeal down there?

No, no, I know, but I'm like, I'm joking, but like I feel like you have to be so careful.

It's such a delicate.

It's such delicate skin.

I mean, I think that you've got to be that being said, also, I was have already.

You already know the story, but I was.

It wasn't so long ago that I was made aware just how very different our vulvas are.

Yes, yes, you were quite shocked.

I was.

And my guess is that there's probably you know, maybe maybe it's a customization, like every vulv needs a different routine.

I don't think so well, I mean possibly, I look up what.

All the different vulva options are.

They look like they might need different routines.

That's fair, that's possible.

I think that when we I think this is what I hate about it.

I think that, like I'm already struggling with a skincare routine from the neck up right, I'm already confused.

Wait, so you're like me, like, have you ever used body lotion?

Like, yes, but I don't know which I know from here up?

Oh not every day, but I've used body lotion before.

But I'm like, I'm I'm scouring the aisles of Sephora to find the best neck cream.

I don't need to be heading down the vagina aisle next to figure out what I would the toner.

Oh god.

Also, by the way, I'm just I'm just saying, like your face is right, there you can look in the mirror and see where where you're at, how how your how your products are you know, reacting to your skin.

I'm just gonna go out on a limon and say, like, it's hard to get face to face with how things are going down there or which toner might be working right.

Yeah.

Can you imagine if I saw you and you're like, oh, you look a little tired, and I was like, but my vagina looks great today.

Well, but also, how would you check your work?

Is my point?

I mean, I mean, I guess you're maybe maybe there's there's another thing that you need to throw.

On the market, like the vagina mirror.

I just don't.

I don't care enough, is the truth, of course.

I mean I don't I care, of course to keep everything clean.

We're not talking about being clean and hygienic and keeping everything fresh and all the things.

We're talking about a fucking skincare routine for down there.

And that's what bugets I was like, women don't need another thing, No, we don't until I see a penis skincare routine that they're all following, and all the guys are in the penis aisle getting that cream I'm not gonna worry about that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah do you think that?

Now?

I'm just gonna be like my, my, My socials are just gonna start feeding me.

All the vaginal school gods.

Am I gonna get those?

Yes?

Seriously, Watch one night, I'll be two glasses of red wine and suddenly there's a bunch in my car.

I just don't understand some of these things, Like, I mean, I definitely have no idea what a vaginal detox pearl.

I've heard of.

You're right, I've never heard of vaginal glitter bombs.

Vaginal glitter bombs.

Okay, this is what it says.

First off, these these glitter.

Bombs for your vagina are called my Glitter Capsules.

Comes in a three pack.

The capsule will dissolve, releasing a sparkly mixture of shimmer and lube, adding to a magical element to your sex life.

If tinker Bell uses lube.

This is it.

I'm not even kidding this, this is what I'm reading.

Can I tell you something I have never been intimate and thought, I wish it does a little glitter.

I wish it sparkled more.

Oh god, it this would be better if it was a little sparkleer.

This would feel better if there was sparkles on it.

Oh my god.

Wait No, Jessica though a lore magazine.

I did a whole article on this, and they said that this is the headline.

People are putting glitter capsules in their vaginas and this doctor is concerned.

No sh And then The New York Post wrote why women should never put a glitter bomb down there?

What was the other one that you said, the pearl?

Yeah, a vaginal detox pearl.

They are small herbal pellets that you insert in your reagina.

There's no proof to their health claims.

It's the next pint of this, you guys.

I think we just continue doing what we're doing.

I'm with the You just keep doing what you're doing.

You keep it clean, You keep it clean people with the water, We keep it simple.

Yeah.

Anyway, So yeah, basically this is just a raging episode.

And I'm just raging on this one today because it really pissed me off.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it really pissed you off.

And I think that that's okay, And I think that that's where we're at with this.

And yeah, we are revolting against this whole.

We say no to the pearls.

We don't want the glitter, we don't want the toners, don't want any of it.

No, we were ducked at all.

How do you guys feel though?

Tell us?

Are you into it?

Are you now listening and like, wait a second, I'm in I'm going to be hitting up Sephour for the vaginal skincares, and.

Or you already are, and you and it's changed your life, then I want to hear from.

You that we do want to hear from you.

Maybe we're super naive, Jessica.

Maybe we need to be talked.

So let's call

It the end of the episode.
