“Vabbing,” TikTok’s newest trend, has caused a lot of debate among both fans and experts. People do this by using vaginal fluids as perfume, with the idea that it makes them more sexually attractive. But does it really work, or is it just a weird trend?
In the past, women have tried everything from love potions to charming home-cooked meals to find a loving partner. When you vape, though, things get really cool. People who like this trend say that using vaginal secretions as perfume makes them more attractive and attracts possible partners.

Sexologist Shan Boodram has been a strong supporter of vaping, saying that it has helped her. She says that chemicals called copulins that are released by the vagina can attract guys who are interested in women with vulvas. Boodram’s support for the trend has helped it spread, and now many TikTok users are talking about their own vaping experiences.
That being said, not everyone is sure that vaping works. Many people know that pheromones are strong chemical signs in animals, but no one knows what role they play in human attraction. Dr. Alexandra James and Dr. Andrea Wahling of La Trobe University say that more study is needed to say for sure if pheromones have a big effect on how well two people get along.
If you want to try vaping, there are also some health things you should think about. Dr. Dimitriadi from the Center for Surgery stresses how important hygiene is, since using dirty fingers inside the vagina could spread germs and cause major health problems.
Even though people are still arguing about vaping, one thing is clear: there is no solid proof that it works. Some women say they’ve had luck with the trend, but others are still not sure.
