A member asked:
Is bacarbonate of soda safe to use in cleaning the vigina and how to use is and the dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: First of all, the vagina is like many ovens, "self cleaning". The use of bicarbonate of soda will introduce a very alkaline substance into the vagina that is mildly acidic naturally causing a acid/base reaction and some intense discomfort if used.
