Medicines to Tighten the Vagina
Vaginal tone enhances sex for both parties. Some women feel a loss of tone after several childbirths or as they become older. Therefore it is common to have surgery to tighten the vagina. However, traditionally medicines were applied to the vagina to tighten and tone. These are predominately astringent medicines.
Some of these remedies were to be applied to the vulva only, while others were inserted inside the vagina. Preparations inserted into the vagina are best done by rolling in thin gauze to make a tampon-shaped wad to be inserted. If any sort of powder remnants remain after use, the vagina should be irrigated with a douche, typically a decoction of Pennyroyal.
