Is it safe to wash your vagina out with soap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: There is not reason, and this can cause problems. The vagina depends on a normal acidity, and washing it out can disturb this, causing an abnormal change in yeast and bacteria content. In general, the vagina does much better without douching or washing.
