Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes, unless allergic: to any of its ingredients, but it's usually not really needed.

Question 2

hi, i'm looking to create an all natural feminine wash. i want advice from a professional on what ingredients to include that are good for the vagina, ph balancing but also very cleansing and what are their safety usages. can you please help me?

Accepted Answer

: This is not a good idea. All data on douching ("vaginal wash") show it to be harmful:  it alters the natural bacterial composition of the vagina in ways that seriously increase risk of bacterial vaginosis and susceptibility to STIs, including PID, the main serious complication of STI in women. No woman should douche routinely and creating a product that promotes it is inappropriate.

Question 3

hi, i'm looking to create an all natural feminine wash. i want advice from a professional on what ingredients to include that are good for the vulva**, ph balancing but also very cleansing and what are their safety usages. can you please help me?

Accepted Answer

: Depends what you mean by 'feminine wash'. Vulva can safely be washed by any mild soap and water.

: GO TO LOCAL PHARMACY AND ASK PHARMACIST ESPECIALLY A FEMALE WHAT IS BEST HYGIENE WASH. MANY ARE AVAILABLE BUT SOME ARE BETTER INDICATED DEPENDING UPON YOUR SITUATION.

Question 5

is it safe to use vinegar as feminine wash?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Apple cider vinegar in particular is widely reported to help vaginal yeast and many other infections- see http://earthclinic.Com/cures/yeast_infection.Html
for details.

Question 6

how safe is vagisil daily feminine wash for women compared to douche?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The vagina is self=cleaning and there is very little need for regular douching.  Plain water is adequate for washing the vagina.  Many studies show that douching regularly causes more problems like bacterial vaginosis, fungal vaginitis, and contact dermatitis.

Question 7

is it safe to use feminine wash daily?or an ordinary soap,such as dove,would be enough?

Accepted Answer

Never douche: Douching ("feminine wash") is not necessary for health or hygiene, and it increases the risk of vaginal infections. Don't do it, either with a feminine product, soap, or anything else. If you have symptoms that make you worried about a vaginal infection (discharge, odor, itching), douching won't cure it and could make it worse. See a doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment advice.

Question 8

is it safe to use a daily feminine wash like lactacyd with ph 3.5 everyday or twice per day?

Accepted Answer

Once a day : Your vagina and vulva are very delicate tissues and even if you use a ph balanced wash too frequently , you might cause irritation . If you feel the need to wash twice a day due to odor or discharge , you should see your gynecologist.

Question 9

i used a feminine wash and it's causing irritation. i'm starting to get slightly discharge with a scent.

Accepted Answer

Don't douche: Vaginal douching (which is what you probably mean by feminine wash) is unhealthy, unnecessary for hygiene, not effective against any infection or discharge, and potentially harmful. Vaginal odor with discharge usually is bacterial vaginosis, which is made worse by douching. Also, BV is associated with increased risk for STDs. See a doctor for diagnosis, treatment, and STD testing.

Question 10

what is the best feminine wash to use for an extremely sensitive area? something that will not cause irritation or smell.

Accepted Answer

Non good: you should never use douche or femenine wash. Soaps like oatmeal base or neutorgena, no perfumes or antibacterial soaps. Avoid frabric softeners for your undergarments, use cheer free detergents.
