KEEPING YOUR VAGINA CLEAN AND HEALTHY
The vagina is self-cleansing meaning The vagina is designed to keep itself clean with the help of natural discharge.
Using soap or other products is unnecessary and not recommended, as certain products may cause irritation and alter the bacteria that protect the vagina.
If you use soap, use plain, unperfumed soaps to wash the area around the vagina or the vulva gently every day.
The vagina will clean itself inside your body with natural vaginal secretions or discharge.
During your period, washing more than once a day may be helpful. Keeping the perineal area between the vagina and anus clean is important, too.
