Vajazzle
A vajazzle (also spelled vagazzle) is a form of genital decoration, formed by the application of crystal ornaments on the shaved pubic area of a woman. The process is known as vajazzling, a portmanteau of "vagina" and "bedazzle". The phenomenon was popularized by actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, who devoted a chapter in her book The Day I Shot Cupid to vajazzling.[1] During a promotional interview on a US talk show in January 2010, she encouraged the female members of her audience "to vajazzle their vajayjays".[2] Vajazzle became the most searched term on Google for the following day.[3]
Vajazzling can increase risks of infection if not properly cleaned.[4][5]
