Washing the outer vulva with plain lukewarm water once or twice a day is enough for most people. A mild pH-balanced wash can be used instead of water, but using it more than once daily or using regular soap inside can disturb the natural balance and cause irritation or infections.
Next Steps
Always wipe and wash front to back, wear breathable cotton underwear, and change out of wet or sweaty clothes quickly. Never douche inside the vagina, it cleans itself.
Health Tips
See a gynaecologist if you notice odour, itching, unusual discharge or discomfort despite this routine.
