Just two days after a photo of Chrissy Teigen breast-pumping on her way to dinner went viral, she’s giving us another glimpse into her private life: On Monday night (June 18), the Cravings author posted a photo of herself steaming her vagina.

In the snap, Teigen is pictured sitting over a vagina steam with a towel draped over her legs, a heating pad over her neck, and a white face mask on. “[F]ace mask / heat pad / vagina steam,” she wrote. “No I don’t know if any of this works but it can’t hurt right? vagina dissolves.”

Check out the photo for yourself, below:

In case you missed it, vagina steaming entered the public consciousness in 2015 when Gwyneth Paltrow sang its praises in a Goop article. “You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al,” she wrote. “It is an energetic release—not just a steam douche—that balances female hormone levels.”

However, vagina steaming isn’t exactly endorsed by the medical community at large. As Katharine O’Connell White, M.D., told Glamour at the time, “The vagina is like a self-cleaning oven—but you don’t even need to turn up the heat (like with steam) for her to work her magic. For many women, the vagina and vulva are pretty sensitive to chemicals (even ones that come from herbs—’all natural’ is still not natural for your lady parts). Who wants to run the risk of steam burns, or vaginitis from a reaction to the herbs? Your vagina is wonderful the way it is—regular showers are all you need to be clean—you don’t need special (and pricey) services to keep yourself clean and healthy.”

Knowing Teigen, she’ll give us all an update with her own opinion on vaginal steaming soon.
