Vagina Help - Keeping Vagina's Clean

First, you must realize that you will always have some sort of odor. It is natural for females to have a bit of an odor down there because your body is constantly cleansing itself. If the odor has recently changed then it could be a sign of a bacterial infection--something only a doctor can determine and supply medication for.

The best way to wash your vagina is with clean, clear, soapless water.

Typically girls will take some soap and clean the sides of that area where your thigh meets the pubic region, but they have to be very careful not to get the soap into the vagina.

If you get soap in your vagina you can end up with a nasty yeast infection, which will take some treatments to get rid of, and possibly a visit to the doctor.

So, my normal routine is this:

Wash body off with body wash. Rinse washcloth. Take washcloth and soap it up again. Lightly "scrub" where my thighs meet my pubic region, staying clear away from the slit where the vagina is. Rinse off area thoroughly with clean water. After rinsing off all of the soap, rinse the slit and vagina with water. Do not try to "fill" your vagina up with water or anything--just wash it off like you had soap on it and were trying to rinse the soap off. Take clean wet washcloth (no soap at all on it) and wash off the inner portions of the slit in case anything is trapped in a little fold or anything.

So, in short:

Use water and no soap for the actual vagina or you'll end up very unhappy.

In addition, never douche. Douching is very, very bad for your body no matter what the packaging says for it. It clears out too much of the good bacteria and most women end up with very bad infections sooner or later.
