According to a reader
“Hello, I am a gynaecologist and I need you to pass
a message to your female readers. Warning Ladies- Do not use soap to wash your
vagina. Don't use anything at all. It's self-cleaning. The discharge you get throughout
the day. That's how the vagina cleans itself. Using soap will only put you at
higher risk of developing irritation or infection. Using warn water and clean
hand is enough. Discharge cleans out dirt and dead cells. The vagina is also
acidic so kills off harmful bacteria while allowing healthy bacteria to thrive.
You don't need to clean your vagina; just your vulva but you do this with water
only. Soaps washes, wipes are potentially harmfully and may kill off healthy
bacteria! Bear in mind that your vagina/vulva is made up of mucosa - like skin
but without the top protective layer. Mucosa is sensitive so more prone to
irritation from chemicals in soaps &washes. All you need to wash your
vagina is clean hands and soap.”
