Nature does it : .You have a self-cleaning vagina. A mild soap can be used on the outer areas such as the outside of the external lips but should be avoided on the internal lips and around the vaginal opening. There is never, ever a need to clean inside the vaginal canal at all. The normal bacteria that live there maintain a balance. An unusual odor or irritation are signs that there are problems.
