Happy Mother’s Day to each & every mama. We’re doing it friends 😭❤️💖🙏🔥

“It’s just not classy.”
I was sitting on the sideline of my son’s football practice, nursing my daughter, showing far less than Kendall Jenner just showed the world’s photographers on a red carpet.

And still. Somehow. I had offended this woman.

(A pattern I’ve noticed over 23 years of breastfeeding — it’s almost always older women doing the policing 🙃)

Here’s the thing, I don’t actually have a hard “stance” on public breastfeeding.

I believe every mama gets to decide what feels right for HER and her baby in the moment.

Cover, don’t cover. Step away, stay seated. Whatever lets her feed her child without losing her mind.

But here’s what I can’t stand.
A celebrity walks a red carpet with her entire breast on display and we call it “art.” “High fashion.” “A moment.”

A mother feeds her infant at a football field and she’s “making people uncomfortable.”

Make it make sense.
Because here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud..
We’ve collectively decided breasts are “appropriate” when they’re decorative. Sexual. Styled. Photographed. Sold.

But the second they do the one thing they were literally created to do?

Suddenly it’s “inappropriate.” “Indecent.” “Uncivilized.”
We sexualized them so thoroughly we forgot what they’re actually FOR.

If society can applaud Kendall’s couture nip slip as bold and beautiful, we can absolutely give a sleep-deprived mom in yoga pants the same grace while she literally keeps a human alive.

Does breastfeeding in public make you uncomfortable? And if so… does Kendall?

Less is more when it comes to good feminine hygiene. 🌸

Your va**na is a self-cleaning organ. Fully. Discharge, cervical mucus, and a delicate ecosystem of lactobacilli keep the pH between 3.8 and 4.5 — acidic on purpose. That’s what protects you from infection.

Soaps, “feminine washes,” scented wipes, and douches strip the good bacteria that were keeping you balanced. Anddddd then you smell off. So you buy more product. So you smell off again.

A maddening loop for you. A very profitable one for the “feminine hygiene” industry.

Whoever decided Summer’s Eve was what we all needed for our lady parts was half genius, half psychopath. These products are marketed to women desperate to fix a problem — and they make the problem worse.

Here’s what I’d tell you if you came to me asking for help 👇🏼

🩷 An off smell is almost always a microbiome issue, not a hygiene issue. The fix isn’t more scrubbing — it’s restoring the good bacteria. Oral probiotics with Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri have real research behind them for va**nal health.

🩷 Eat the good stuff. Kefir, sauerkraut, fermented veggies, and pineapple all support a healthy va**nal pH from the inside out.

🩷 Wash the v***a (outside) with plain water. The va**na (inside) needs nothing from you. Truly nothing. Rinse with water if you feel the need.

🩷 Wear cotton, breathable underwear. Synthetic fabrics and tight thongs trap moisture and feed the exact bacteria you don’t want.

🩷 Sleep au naturel for good airflow.

🩷 A healthy va**nal pH starts in the gut. Fiber, fermented foods, blood sugar regulation — it all shows up down there. The shelf at Target can’t mask what’s happening in your gut microbiome.
