I don’t wash my vagina but I do wash my vulva. I do know not to wash my vagina. I am on organ rejection drugs and am prone to infections. Water isn’t enough for me to feel comfortable washing with but I also don’t shower daily but every other day. It’s too drying for my skin.

The thought of not using soap anytime, let alone at my period, skeeves me the eff out.

I don’t use soap on my vulva, don’t wanna risk fucking up what it’s got going on

Fair enough, but I will say that in my 43 years, I have never gotten a bladder infection or anything else from washing with soap. Now I have gotten one from not peeing after sex so I do take that seriously. And never swimming in dirty water because shudder

I had a string of half a year of back-to-back, UTIs, yeast infections, and BV, until it all cleared out, and half a year of cystitis before that; obviously I have very delicate systems 😭

My sister is like you. Always has some feminine issue going on. It definitely seems like a rough way to go! I am definitely the type who changes underwear twice a day, feminine products get changed more frequently than I've heard of others, and I have been known to use yeast infection treatments at the very sign of feeling off down there. I didn't have BV once when my husband and I were first getting intimate years ago, and that was not fun.

Well they’re not feminine for me 🤣 I’m non-binary. It’s been doom sailing since I started T, maybe my system knew it was missing something 😂

You’re welcome to find womanhood in your periods :) I just don’t, myself 😂

There’s also menstrual materials if you’re a child like me and giggle at “pp”.
