huh? How does wearing a tampon help you stay fresh? Seriously, I've never heard of this.

This post is making me laugh so hard!

omg, this is the funniest. post. ever! I so want to put a link to it on my FB page, but I'll refrain...

I hate it when it happens after sex!

I am sitting here trying to imagine a packed yoga class at a popular DC studio -- what the hell kind of symphony does it sound like in there?

Isn't the atmosphere in a typical class kind of quiet and reflective? So if, say, 8 out of the 15 women are farting and queefing off and on, it would be ridiculous?

Oh my god, I don't think I'd heard the word "queef" since junior high. Thanks, OP! And yeah, it happens to the best of us. I think, personally, that it's possible to sort of squeeze the air out gently by doing kegels strategically -- that avoids the sound that happens when the air comes out faster, by itself. Try it at home, see if it helps! But also realize, it happens to everyone.

Personally never had - what was the word again? - queefs, but made sure never to eat "farty" foods 24 hours before my yoga class...

Kegels logically would tone that area and help reduce airflow in and out, but you would probably have to do at least a 100/day for a few weeks to see any difference (which is worth it, in my opinion, especially as there are all kinds of added benefits).

And stretching on your back/legs in the air before the class if possible, to let them out.

Again,

Oh my God, I was going to post the same question. I just cannot do yoga at a public studio knowing how bad it's going to sound!

PP: I forgot to mention, at least queefs don't smell (although I guess you'd never know--fishy fishy)

Girl, its natural...let those queefs out and don't be shy. Now, in my yoga class I hear tons of ladies letting out farts (the good old fashioned kind that are stinky). It's why i stopped going. Afraid I'd be next.

How about all of you varting, queefing ladies all meet in one location for some free for all yoga---This is a queefing zone! And has anyone heard of "gunt" after this baby no amount of yoga is going to help me lose this gunt.

I am so sorry, but I am dyyyyying of laughter right now!!! DH is actually making fun of the noises I'm making while laughing.

If it happened to me though, I would be dying of embarrassment.

It happens to the best of us OP. Or at least you, me and the others that chimed in.

Yeah, it's one of those things that just sucks and pisses me off.

I will do kegels, but I actually noticed this about a year before getting pregnant. My solution is to not do the poses that require you to lay on your back and put your feet up. Not worth it, I'm just not that self confident.

By the way, can I say as much as I get fed up for DCUM sometimes, this kind of thread is why I keep coming back. Not going to bring it up with my friends, not going to look it up online, but will bitch about it on DCUM.

No, queef is not another name for your vajayjay. It specifically refers to "varts".

I think it means the yoga is working. Gross, yes, but farts and queefs are actually normal.
