It has been commonly believed that the vagina needs to be cleaned and washed to maintain hygiene. The TRUTH is that it is the VULVA that should be cleaned. The vagina is self-cleansing muscular canal that connects the uterus to the outside.

The vulva is the area of female sex organs that lies outside of the vagina. These organs include folds of sensitive tissue called the labia (labia means “lips”). So ladies and gentlemen, we clean the vulva not the vagina. The vagina is internal and the vulva is external.

Use warm water to wash the vulva. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Use a mild soap for washing underclothes. Avoid fabric softeners and detergents with enzymes. Avoid scented feminine hygiene products, which can irritate the vulva After using the toilet, wipe front to back. Even better, rinse with warm water to remove unwanted bacteria and pat dry. Wear cotton underwear over synthetic fabric. Cotton is better at absorbing moisture. Change tampons, pads and liners at least 4-5 times a day. It may help to also wash or wipe the area regularly during your period. Wear cotton underwear over synthetic fabric. Cotton is better at absorbing moisture.
