Accepted Answer

Feminine wipes: Many feminine wipes contain ingredients such as fragrances or preservatives that can irritate delicate tissues in the vulvar area and can cause a contact dermatitis.  Best way to take care of the area is to wash with a mild, fragrance-free soap or cleansing bar, avoid using washcloths or sponges (just use hands) and use a fragrance-free dye-free detergent when washing your clothes and underwear.

Question 10

i want to know, what are y'alls thoughts on vagisil ph balance wash?

Accepted Answer

Please, No!: These commercial products like Vagisil pH wash are totally unnecessary as the vagina is like many ovens, self-cleaning. Moreover, you will 'wash away" the good bacteria (Doderlein's) that keep the vaginal pH stabilized and make you more susceptible to vaginal infections.
