okay, hate to revive this thread... but yoga is important to me, and I don't want anyone to stop going because they're afraid of queefing! Looking into it (don't ask me why) i have read that strengthening your abdominal area will help prevent it. This makes sense to me because I've let that go a bit in the last year, and, well. Also, kegels and/or the yoga version of that, Mula bandha.

also, how/when you breathe and hold the belly muscles might help

exhale on the way up and use your abs to pull in your bellybutton, not by sucking in your stomach. If you queef anyway (this happens to me all the time), try slowly expelling the air so that it's less likely to make a sound.

Um. Washing your vagina is a very, very bad idea. The vagina is like a self cleaning oven. It knows what it's doing, and putting stuff in there that shouldn't be in there can have some really unpleasant consequences.

Hey!!! I do this too! so loud! and often! But it's not a "problem." I'm trying to do a search online now with positive feedback for the queef!

Why would anyone wear a tampon when they are not on their periods? Someone please shoot me!

You shouldn't be "washing" your vagina at all in the way you probably mean. Just wash the vulva with water. Soap isn't good for the pH balance and creates all kinds of trouble (like odors and infections)

If you're washing your vagina every 3-4 hours you are in a seriously destructive cycle. Get up there with a turkey baster full of yogurt then leave it alone.

Yes!! Same here you are not alone...its really mortifying and particularly difficult to focus when you have your queefing issue on your mind. It happened to me 3 times today during yoga and even while I was speaking to another student! I wanted to die but I have no control over it whatsoever!

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,


It's not farting b/c it's coming from your vagina, which is probably way stretched out from child birth. In class don't kick your legs back too far or too quickly. This has worked for me.
