Question 1

is good to use toothpaste as feminine wash?

Accepted Answer

No: Toothpaste is not indicated for cleaning any part of the body aside from the mouth, teeth, and gums. There are products on the market that are indicated for feminine hygiene, although douching is not recommended because it eliminates helpful bacteria and leaves a woman susceptible to infections by yeast and harmful bacteria.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

No data available: Oral bacteria are different than the vaginal. I recommend you to use the appropriate product for the suitable part of the body they are created for.

: 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 4

is it safe to use feminine wash?

Accepted Answer

Safe?: Safe? Personal Hygiene is a private choice and there is no indication that such a product would be unsafe. That seems like such an obvious answer it makes me wonder what you are really asking.  Millions of women use all kinds of products for their personal hygiene.

Question 5

are feminine wash same as douches?

Accepted Answer

Not the same: Douching is to introduce a stream of water in the body for medical or hygienic reasons, it usually is used for vaginal irrigation but it may be used for rinsing any other body cavity.
The feminine washes are marketed as a way of cleaning the inside og vaginal wall and can be harmful, as they contain oerfumes and other ingredients which can change the ph of the vaginal fluids and lead to complication.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Douch is no good: Douch can cause problems
some water can be retained in vagina causing infection
never take a douch.

Question 7

is it ok for a child to use over-the-counter feminine wash?

Accepted Answer

Douche Products: The vaginal lining of the pre-pubertal child is much more fragile than after puberty. The lining cells are much thinner(squamous) and the pH is more alkaline resulting in lower resistance to bacteria. Like commercial bubblebath products, these washes are more likely to be very irritating in this age group. There is no physiologic need for such products.

Question 8

is there any advantage to using ph balanced feminine wash over any other type of soap?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Probably not. The use of soap in general and certainly douching is not generally recommended.  In most cases it is not good to interrupt the bacterial flora present in the normal state in the vagina. Always seek balance and although ph is important in the vagina using a ph balanced soap is not likely to assist or help in anyway.

Question 9

Question 10

how do i find what's the best feminine wash?

Accepted Answer
