Vagina: like owning a dog

[Victor]

That just cracked me up somethin' fierce. Long as ya happy with it though, anything is worth upkeep if you're happy with it, reminds me why I hate being born with one though (One of many reasons least), high maintenance things they are, even if different for MTFs and those born with one, the principle is still similar XD.

The only problem I can foresee is it might want to follow you 'round and go everywhere you go

[spacial]

So guys can give me a hard time.

Pam. Things are really dark for you at the moment. You've been treated like crap by some guy and feel so very alone.

But you have experience now. When you start to pick yourself up again and you will, you'll put that to good use.

I know you feel so negative about what you've done. But you are a beautiful woman.

I'm sorry love, but don't try to turn back the clock or ignore yourself. You made a mistake with that one. Many of us have done it, some of us, repeatedly.

Even the ones you are born with still require mantanance, get inflections, need pap swears, etc.  So not maintanance free like having outie parts.  Does hold a tampon to absorb that mess produced by that organ connected to it.

I think many mtf's don't seem to realize that.  They do the required maintenance as suggested by their surgeon for a specified period of time, i.e. baths, douching, etc., then complain about odors, infections, etc. once their maintenance routine stops.  As mtf's, there is one thing that we have to realize--our vaginas are not self cleaning like natal female's vaginas which means we have to be just a little more diligent in our routines.

At three months post, I was supposed to stop the sitz baths and douching as per Dr Brassards instructions.  I still douche nightly before bed with a saline solution and I still have an evening bath.  I have no strange odors and I have no strange stuff dripping/oozing out of me.  Take some lubricant and let it dry on your skin--just think how this stuff collects inside of you if you don't clean it out.

I used to think that the woman who lives above me was weird as her bath was running two-three times a day--now I know why.

'Outie' parts are not maintenance free. They still require cleaning and they also get infections.

My last ex was almost paranoid about odors.  I was trained in Zen and the Art of Vaginal Maintenance by her, even if she did not know it.  And I am looking forward to practicing my training.

Does it sit?
Beg?
Fetch?
Scare off intruders?

All of the above, actually!

So guys can give me a hard time.I don't know about you guys, but I must have a sick sense of humor. I know where my mind went! 

ps. No offense taken  by me, Tekla. For gosh sakes people, this was meant to be a humorous posting, hence Kat's comments. Keep up the wit, I say. If the original poster didn't take it that way, I don't think we should, either. JMHO

according to Dr. McGinn they do become somewhat self cleaning, which is one of the reasons she strongly recommends against douching in any form. I'm just repeating what she told me. Still it's best to follow whatever regimen your own surgeon has set up because they will know what's best for your particular situation. I just keep myself clean washing in the bath (under the clitoral hood is a particularly sensitive spot to keep clean) and have not had any problems with discharge, odour, infections, etc. Dr. Mcginn showed me inside mine several times as I was healing using a mirror and a speculum, and there's never been any dog breath from my little Xoloitzquintle (Mexican hairless) lol

Well, just in case you ever run into any odor problems, here's some advice from Livestrong.com

How to Remove a Smell From the Vagina

STEP 2
Insert a fresh clove of garlic into your vagina by wrapping it in cheesecloth and attaching a string to it for removal. Garlic has anti-fungal properties that can bring yeast in check, which can eliminate vaginal odors. You can also make a garlic paste and apply it to the vagina externally.

You are unfortunately the only person that got it...oye!

Well played, Fairy Girl, well played.  Have 5 points.

For the male side, we do have to keep it clean, especially those that are uncut.  Odors and overall funkiness can occur if we don't keep it clean.  So, some of us can totally relate when it comes to feminine hygeine products...especially me, who more often than not has to buy pads and tampons for my mom when she's low on funds.

Mine is like a little chihuahua that just won't shut UP and go occupy itself with a chew toy or something so I can get some peace already!

Ahaha sorry. I know this post isn't directed at my particular gender identity but I couldn't help myself lol .

I'm glad that you and your neo-vagina-quasi-puppy get along though. hehe.
