Vabbing
Vabbing is the application of vaginal secretions as a perfume. It was first popularized on TikTok in 2022 as a way of attracting men.
Use and popularization
[edit]Vabbing is done by placing vaginal secretions on pulse points behind the ears and wrists, with the intention of attracting men.[1][2][3] It was popularised on social media platform TikTok in 2022.[2][4]
Efficacy
[edit]There is no research that indicates this technique works, with the placebo effect offered by a relevant expert as the only possibility for any efficacy.[2][5][6]
