How Exactly Do You Clean..... Posted: 07-19-04 21:36pm
I know this sounds kinda wierd, but how
exactly do you clean your vagina? I get
sore from using a washcloth. Do you clean
inside of the vagina lips? I don't
douche, so how would I get inside of my
hole? Do I clean that with a washcloth,
too? It seems like now that i'm having
sex, I can never clean myself that well
without being sore from rubbing with a
washcloth. I don't know if i'm washing it
the wrong way...

Basically all you have to do is just wash
down there like you would wipe after going
to the bathroom.. I don't think its
necessary to scrub, as that could
definitely cause irritation and soreness.
As for cleaning inside of you, thats not
necessary at all because your body
automatically does that for you (thats
what discharge is for). If you still find
that using a washcloth is causing you too
much irritation, invest in special cloths
that are made for washing down there, such
as tucks. Hope this helped.

Well,as cherry said,the vagina is a
self-cleaning body part.If a washcloth is
too irritating,jusy get your hand soapy
and gently clean the outer surfaces.Use a
very mild soap and very gentle motions,you
don't need to scrub.I would also not use
fruityor deodorant soaps,fragrances can
also cause irritation.Go easy on colored
soaps,too.The less artificial scents and
colors the better.That goes for your
toilet paper as well-no colored paper,only
white!Hope that helps!Patty

You don't have to use ordinary soaps
because that can cause irritation if you
have sensitive skin . You can buy
summer's eve feminine wash , it's in the
women isle.After you use it ,you'll feel
fresh . Just put alittle bit on your
hands or wash cloth and clean it . It's
pretty simple! =)
