How to properly wash down there
How do I properly wash my vagina/vulva? Especially in a shower? I used to have a bath and would just “swoosh” water down there but am finding it difficult to do that in the shower, any tips?

Hi roxfoxreal,
To answer your question, I'm going to quote Heather from this article https://www.scarleteen.com/article/advi ... damn_smell: "The way to take care of your vagina and vulva when it comes to hygiene is just to wash the external vulva -- your inner and outer labia, your mons, around your clitoral hood, perineum and anus: all the bits you can see on the outside -- very gently, either just with warm water or water and a very gentle, unfragranced soap (certainly not any kind of deodorant or antibacterial soap) no more often than you wash the rest of your body. To wash, you can either just use your fingers or a soft washcloth: you don't want to be rough with the delicate tissue there. You don't want to try and wash inside the vaginal opening at all: leave that be, as it both takes care of itself and needs to be left alone to do that."
Does that give you the information you need?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
