A member asked:
After swimming, i have a very slight irritation around my vag opening. i showered thoroughly after swimming. could this be because of the water? help?

Possibly: Did you use soap in the vaginal area when showering? This is one of the biggest irritants out there. Use water ONLY! Your vagina is not "dirty" and therefore doesn't need "cleaning". The chlorine may have caused some irritation also, but the cure again is to rinse only with water. It should clear up on its own.
