For weeks, a photo of plain double cream yogurt next to a box of cinnamon spice has been circulating on Facebook, with many women claiming that this mixture significantly enhances their s3x lives.
Alongside this, other unconventional concoctions have been gaining popularity for similar purposes.
Halls and Stoney Mixture
One such mixture involves brewing Halls Extra Strong Menthol sweets with Stoney, a ginger-flavored fizzy drink.
According to several women, consuming this mixture before s3x increases pleasure and “tightens” their vaginas.

Maleshoane Mokoena from Qwaqwa in the Free State shared that before learning about this mixture, her s3x life was dull.
She has been using it for two years, despite knowing it might be unhealthy.
“I rely on Stoney and black Halls to tighten up my private part. I must say things have changed, and my husband always compliments me. Everything is going so well. I believe that as time goes by, I will have to stop,” she said.
Despite nurses advising against it due to potential health risks, Mokoena continues to use the mixture.
Expert Opinions
Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, an activist and author of “Dr T: A Guide to Sexual Health and Pleasure,” emphasizes the importance of s3xual health and reproductive justice in enjoying s3x.
She warns against using unverified products on sensitive vaginal tissue and urges women to consider the ingredients of any mixtures they use.
Dr. Abongile Maboza also advises against inserting anything into the vagina, highlighting the potential for health problems and infections. She stresses the need for women to cherish and care for their vaginas without succumbing to societal pressures for tightness.
Cultural Practices and Peer Pressure
Research published in the journal “Culture, Health and S3xuality” reveals that practices like vaginal tightening stem from a desire to enhance men’s s3xual pleasure, ensure fidelity, and exercise agency in relationships.
Women often modify their vaginas to align with societal standards and avoid accusations of infidelity.
Street Vendors ‘magoshas’ and Unverified Products
Bongiwe Gono, a street vendor in Flagstaff, Eastern Cape, sells a variety of unverified s3xual enhancement products, including Chinese sweets and snuff meant for vaginal insertion.
Despite the lack of certification from the South African Bureau of Standards, these products are popular among women seeking to improve their s3xual experiences.
Social Media Reactions
Thobile Zungu from KwaZulu-Natal and Xoliswa Mbetshe from Mthatha shared their positive experiences with these unconventional methods.
Zungu believes her boyfriend finds her more desirable since she started using the Halls and Stoney mixture.
Mbetshe, who washes her private parts with sugary drinks, claims it cleanses and tightens her vagina while eliminating bad odors.
Conclusion
While these unconventional methods are trending and garnering testimonials, health experts caution against their use due to potential risks and the importance of proper vaginal care.
Women are encouraged to seek safe and verified ways to enhance their s3xual pleasure and health.
