A member asked:

Some say to wash vagina with apple cider vinegar to restore natural ph and some say to wash it with baking soda. but one is acidic and other alkaline.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wouldn't: I've never recommended any washing of the vagina internally. My professors a long time ago crudely mentioned its a self cleaning oven and needs no internal maintenance. Just feel free to clean the outer regions.
