Vagina self cleans: Your vagina cleans itself through natural secretions. Douching is not recommended, as it washes away 'good' bacteria, protective secretions and changes the ph, thus making it easier to develop irritations and infection. Wash the vulva or outer genitalia with a washcloth and mild cleanser.

Outside only: A simple gentle wash of the vulva(outside) with a mild soap is just fine. Douching (inside washing) is not recommended as it washes away "good" bacteria and allow more serious vaginal infections to take root.
