Is it necessary to clean?

Question

Asked for Female, 28 Years

Is it necessary to clean your vagina (vulva) each and every time after peeing? And if cleaning is mandatory after every pee, how should we have to clean it? Is it necessary to clean with bidet spray? Or just wiping it with toilet paper is enough? Or should we spray it with water and wipe with toilet paper? Or can we keep it unclean after peeing?

You don't need to clean your vulva with water or a spray after every single pee. Wiping with toilet paper is enough for daily hygiene.

Next Steps

You can rinse with plain water sometimes, but skip soaps, scented washes, and daily bidet spray. These can disturb your natural vaginal balance.

Health Tips

Always wipe from front to back to lower infection risk. See a gynaecologist if you notice unusual discharge, odour, or itching.
