Sun’s out, buns — and overall bikini area — out, arewerite? In case you’re planning on hitting the beach (or backyard) this summer, we’ve got some tips on how to practice a little extra self-care down there. First things first, apply higher SPF to parts you don’t usually expose to the sun. Got irritation? Add a little coconut oil to help soothe and moisturize. And finally, be sure to carve out some extra time to get in ~touch~ with yourself. Dame’s Aer vibrator can help with that. It’s lightweight, waterproof, and packed with tech that’s designed to mimic a fluttering tongue. So you can stay hot and bothered in the best way. Psst…here’s 15% off.

The latest making the digital rounds: COVID-19 is caused by snake venom. Ssssound fake? That’s because it is. The theory stems from an online documentary full of claims that have — are you ready for it? — zero sound scientific evidence to back ‘em up. Aaaaand it already has over 2 million views online. Big sigh.

Before you stress-slam your computer shut, peep our guide on all things misinformation. Where we show you how to call out fake news when ya see it. And what steps you can take after you do.
