A 2017 literature review led by Hedwig Neels suggested that queefing usually occurs when the muscles around our reproductive organs are relaxed, therefore enabling more air to enter the vagina.
What does random queefing mean?
What is vaginal gas? Vaginal gas, or “queefing,” is when air gets trapped inside the vagina. Once air is trapped, it will eventually be released from the vagina and can cause a sound similar to common flatulence from the rectum. It is typically a normal occurrence, and it is rarely a sign of a serious health concern.
When you fart and come out the front?
A queef is when air that has become trapped in your vagina escapes, often during or after sex. The cooter pooter is flatulence (gas that is a result of digestion) that comes from your butt and slides over your labia before gracing the nose.
