Do not clean too much: First douches and 'cleaning' the vagina can actually cause infections because they eliminate the good bacteria. The vagina is really a self-cleaning organ. We don't scrub our corneas because there is already a mechanism in place to keep it clean. In fact, cleaning the cornea with water and chemicals will cause problems.
