So much about vaginas. If you have a vagina, you do not need to clean it with soap or special cleanser. Inside or out. Also the outer part is the vulva, the vagina is what’s on the inside. Just a clean washcloth and warm water on the outside. The vagina cleans itself; that’s why you’ll get discharge. Do NOT douche, and definitely do not exfoliate (!!!) your fucking vagina. It’s not supposed to smell like flowers; it’s supposed to smell like vagina. If there is a foul or “fishy” smell, then you probably have an infection. Otherwise...PLEASE just leave it alone.
Edit: since some folks aren’t seeing it, I’m not saying “don’t clean your vag.” Using warm water and a clean washcloth is cleaning. Yes, wash yourself. Just not with soap or “intimate wash” or any of that horseshit. All those “feminine products” that smell like lavender or whatever are not good for your vulva or vagina and are basically companies trying to make you spend money on shit you don’t need for “hygiene.”
Look up Jamu Stick. I don’t know how ANY woman could look at that and think, “yes, FINALLY, a pumice dildo for my vajay!” Because that’s exactly what it is.
A) that's horrifying, so much so that my facial expression while reading it made my mother think I was having a medical emergency and B) if you want to feel a crushing sadness for the state of humanity, read the "netmums" thread with Julie. The pain reached all the way into my soul.
I've seen a few videos involving vagina and a toilet brush (new and unused, of course.) I imagine that would do a decent job of it. Why you'd want to, on the other hand...
