Throughout history, many concoctions have been created to assist women in finding partners, ranging from love potions to homemade meals. It might seem like they’ve tried everything, but a new trend on TikTok is gaining popularity. In these videos, women are incorporating a practice known as vabbing into their self-care routines. Essentially, ‘vabbing’ involves using vaginal secretions as one would use perfume. These women claim that it helps them attract sexual partners.

Shan Boodram, a sexologist, discusses this concept in her book, “The Game of Desire.” Boodram shares that she has practiced vabbing for 15 years and affirms its effectiveness in attracting partners. She writes, “If copulins [chemicals secreted by the vagina] are used as perfume, then it will attract anyone traditionally attracted to women with vulvas.” Boodram also expresses, “I am certain that every single time I employ it, it makes me feel like an enchanted goddess with a delicious secret.”
