A member asked:

What is the proper way to wipe your vagina down towards your butt or up towards ur belly button?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Front to back: The better way to wipe is from the front to back so the rectum is touched last. This helps prevent stool from getting into the vagina and perhaps causing an infection.
