Now our fascination with vaginas, particularly in the sexual forum, pretty much revolves around this: we want them to look good , feel good and taste good. When the body digests food, it carries it through the bloodstream to various glands and tissues, including the vaginal wall, where vaginal lubrication is created. Studies have also shown the antibiotic properties of cinnamon can help treat yeast infections which can throw off the balance of the vagina. Moral to this part of the story: better balance equals better taste. Cotton underwear that permits the area to breathe, or wearing no underwear at night, may be helpful in reducing sweat, as well as the odor-producing bacteria that thrive upon it.
