How To Taste Sweeter Down There
I wasn't always a fan of receiving oral, but when I got put on to how good it felt, I was and stayed hooked. Despite the interest I had for my vagina and a curiosity about its function, I was unnerved by the idea of having someone wanting to put their face in between my thighs. It was a very vulnerable act and one that I was intimidated by. At the time, the untamed bush on my pubic region and the scent of my womanhood was something I was embarrassed by and I wanted nothing more but to be confident whenever I was intimate with someone, so I refrained. But when I understood what it was that guys were after when they wanted to travel down south, I became fascinated in that area for a new reason: its taste.
There will never be someone who tastes quite like you or smells quite like you and there's something poetic about etching that stamp in a lover's memory. While I don't think your motivation for a sweeter taste should solely exist in the perception or ideals of a man, I don't think there's a problem with trying to please your romantic partner. The way a vagina tastes is a collection of factors: arousal fluids that occur when you are aroused, perspiration, and last, but certainly not least, the way you eat. (FYI: Diet plays a major role in how sweet male secretions are as well so if your man needs a semen taste boost, refer him to these tips as well.)
Below are some foods you should incorporate and eliminate from your diet to have a sweeter taste down there.
What To Add To Your Diet To Make Your Vagina Taste Sweeter:
Pineapples
Eating pineapple is the most common way that both sexes try in effort to make your vagina taste sweeter. The vagina is very acidic. Regularly eating pineapples can prove to be very effective at maintaining the delicate balance of the vagina's pH and can thus, make your secretions during sex or arousal taste sweeter. Other fruits in the citrus family like mango, grapefruit, and/or oranges can create the same result.
Cinnamon
An alkaline spice like cinnamon can help neutralize your vagina's acidic taste. As a mild antibiotic, it can help you with maintaining your vaginal balance ensuring a better, sweeter taste. Sprinkle cinnamon onto your yogurt or oatmeal in the mornings. Add the spice to bread recipes or to your favorite smoothie recipe. Nutmeg is another spice that can help maintain the vagina's sweeter taste.
Berries
The phrase "the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice" should be taken literally. Blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries are amazing fruits to include in your healthy, sweeter vagina dietary plan. As you know, cranberry juice is a great combatant of bacteria that makes its way to the urinary tract, preventing the occurrence of UTIs. Cranberries can be consumed in fruit form, but it is admittedly more palatable in juice form. Remember though, skip the Ocean Spray and buy cranberry juice that is raw/pure to avoid the intense amounts of added sugars.
Water
Rid your body of toxins while keeping it hydrated by drinking enough water. For most people, that's about two liters a day. Mix things up throughout the day by drinking a cup or two of unsweetened green tea. You can also get your hydration needs fulfilled with foods high in water content like watermelon, kiwi, and cucumbers.
What Makes The Vagina Have A Bitter (Read: Unpleasant) Taste:
Dairy
The probiotics found in natural yogurt do wonders for maintaining vaginal health and taste, but other forms of dairy like milk, cheese, ice cream, etc. can give your vagina a salty or bitter undertone in the taste department. And on the journey to making your vagina taste awesome, who wants that?
Red Meat
Although it's normal for some vaginas to naturally have a more metallic taste – especially before, during, and after periods – having a diet very heavily saturated with red meat like beef and lamb can heighten how sharp and/or how salty you taste.
Junk Food
The preservatives and chemicals often found in processed foods contribute to the imbalance of bacteria in the body leading to an out of whack pH balance which will lead to an out of whack taste. That means "no" to most fried foods as well.
Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages of all kinds can affect the way that you taste because of its ability to alter your pH balance of your vagina. So while a shot is a great way to loosen up for a night of great fun, it might not be the greatest prelude to a night of indulgent head.
Don't get me wrong, he will still go down on you, but you won't be putting your best taste forward if you don't watch what you put into your body on the regular. Eat well so he can too.
I'm all for feeding a man that's hungry. Aren't you?

I Tried Beyoncé's Haircare Line CÉCRED & Here's My Honest Review
Beyoncé is snatching our wallets yet again with her latest business venture CÉCRED. In 2023, the Texas native hinted at a potential haircare line when she posted this photo causing fans to speculate that her next project would be focused on her famous tresses - they were right. Her haircare line Cécred launched on February 20 with her first drop called The Foundation Collection which focuses on haircare first, and I can only assume that a style product line for colored-treated hair will likely follow since Beyoncé is known for slaying various shades of blonde.
As a super fan since the early 2000s, it was only right that I give an honest review of the full line and purchase the Super Fan Bundle (retailed at $265) which includes the full product line of the 8 products, as well as a branded cosmetic bag. If you’re thinking, “Girl that bundle is too pricey for me,” I can assure you that for the value you're getting, the price is quite reasonable. This bundle was an intentional and marketable way to allow consumers to experience every Cécred product.
The brand messaging surrounding Cécred has been salon-inspired, and rightfully so as an ode to Beyoncé’s upbringing growing up in her mother’s hair salon in Houston. This line is backed by science and licensed cosmetologists showing that she’s done her research and appointed the experts. Cécred's IG feed has been filled with images and videos inside of hair salons including some videos of Ms. Tina herself assisting in the styling of beauty experts who visited Cécred's private salon to have the VIP treatment!
Now, have I seen influencers, consumers, and beauty stylists using the Foundation Collection at home? Yes, but I thought it was best to experience Cécred with my go-to cosmetologist who also happens to be my Auntie Tawana. She has been my educator and go-to for hair knowledge since I was a child and has had a hand in my mom's hair health which has always been goals for me. As a little girl, my Saturdays were spent sitting in her hair salon while my mama got her hair done as I patiently waited reading Jet and ESSENCE, ever so carefully eavesdropping on the conversations of the ladies who were coming for much more than just a beauty routine, but an experience.
I’d fall asleep on the plush couch in the waiting area flipping through magazines while listening to the sultry sounds of Maxwell. And I had my first lesson in breakup empowerment when I heard Sunshine Anderson’s “Heard It All Before.” So there was no other place for me to go than to see her, and because I’m her niece, I was able to visit her private salon in her home that she calls The After Hours where upon arrival I was greeted with my favorite Black-owned sparkling Rosé, candles lit, and my aunt’s breakdown of Cécred.

But let me refocus and share my salon experience as I tried Cécred for the first time.
If You’re Wondering…Who is Cécred For?
Yasmine Jameelah/xoNecole
When news of Beyoncé potentially launching a beauty brand hit the internet, there were a bunch of predictions of what and who the line would be marketed towards and if she’d have any wig care products as she’s known for slaying her units! But she went in a totally different direction which I love, and I’m going to tell you why. Critics have questioned if Beyoncé should be venturing into the haircare industry because she is often seen in weaves and wigs, but true Beyoncé fans know that she has healthy hair and that, like many Black women, experiments with various styles.
Cécred was created for all hair types and textures, including straight to coily, virgin, color-treated, chemically processed, and heat-styled. As a Black woman who has worn wigs, had chemically processed hair, heat-styled, natural, and color-treated hair, let me tell you, this was no easy feat! The amount of money I’ve spent on my hair through its various changes just on product alone, forget styling has been astronomical.
Cécred is serving the needs of various hair types in textures and I truly believe that this is going to make Beyoncé a true competitor in the hair industry amongst brands that are comparable such as OUAI and Olaplex. Both competitor brands have similar items at a higher price point and unlike Cécred, their products and brand messaging haven’t always felt inclusive to Black women and other hair types.
Cécred has been tested inclusively and the reviews from various hair types and backgrounds of consumers are allowing the brand to stand out.
I Tried Beyoncé's Haircare Line Cécred: My Honest Review

My hair has never felt cleaner and it shined for well over a week following the styling (but the oil should be used sparingly if like me, oil can weigh down your hair.) Immediately when my hair touched the sink, my aunt told me that she saw all the dirt and oils lifting from my hair when she applied the clarifying shampoo. As a girl who loves my curls, I am often judgy when I use any other shampoo and conditioner aside from Pattern, but not this time.
When my aunt guided my hands across my hair, she showed me how my curls weren’t tangled, and how she didn’t need to comb out my curls before applying the moisturizing deep conditioner or the deconstructing treatment mask.
Yasmine Jameelah/xoNecole
She applied each step with care and walked me through the process, and to my surprise, the hair mask wasn’t thick - but through trial and error as a natural girl, I’ve learned that a thick mask doesn’t always equal what’s best for your hair. She styled me with a silk press that left my hair with shine and I can honestly say that each step of the line is needed especially if you are someone who changes up your hair and deals with breakage. If your hair is healthy, you can opt out of the reconstructing treatment mask but I recommend taking the product line to your salon, having a discussion with your stylist on where your hair health needs improvement, and then purchasing based on that.
We know ourselves better than anyone else, but your stylist knows your hair better than you do. I like to lead with their knowledge first and then incorporate what my hair goals are. If you’re a girly who’s committed to hair health and has either the discipline to incorporate each step at home or can bring your products to the salon, Cécred is for you no matter if you’re a silk press or a wash-and-go naturalist.
Give Cécred a try, I’ll be using the line for my hair appointments until it runs out and if I see long-term results, it will be added to the beauty regimen indefinitely.
