A member asked:

If we should not use a feminine wash to was the vagina than what should we use?normal bodywash?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soap and water: Often feminine wash can be disadvantageous because they remove good and protective vaginal bacteria. This can lead to yeast and other vaginal infections. Stick to mild soap, baby shampoo and water.
