The Truth Behind the Viral “Vabbing” Trend: What Experts Want You to Know

Every few months, social media comes up with a new trend that gets everyone talking — and the latest one, known as “vabbing”, is no exception.

The idea? Using a small amount of vaginal fluid as perfume, by dabbing it on pulse points like your neck or wrists, with the belief that it helps attract others through natural pheromones.

Many influencers claim that this “secret scent” can boost your confidence and even make you more desirable. Some women online have shared personal stories saying they felt more empowered or noticed extra attention when they tried it.

But before you jump on the trend, experts are urging caution. Scientists explain that, unlike animals, humans don’t rely on pheromones in the same way — and there’s no scientific proof that using bodily fluids as perfume has any real effect on attraction.

In other words, the magic may be more psychological than biological.

Health professionals also point out some risks. Using unwashed fingers or collecting fluids without proper hygiene can lead to infections.

And if someone carries an undiagnosed sexually transmitted infection, this practice could create additional health concerns.

So while vabbing might sound bold and empowering on social media, it’s probably best to take the hype with a grain of salt. Confidence, authenticity, and self-care will always be the real “scents” of attraction — no unusual tricks required.
