A member asked:
Is caress shower gel good to wash around the vagina with? like will it increase my risk of bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any soap is OK: Any cleasing agent is OK for external washing of the vaginal area will not increase risk of BV. Just don't douche with Caress (or anything else), which is unhealthy and often triggers BV.
