...to feel strongly that women should not wash their private parts with soap, nor use feminine freshness wipes?

[Needlesswidow]

And the reason this is bothering me now is because I have had an argument with my (otherwise lovely) "waxing technician" because every time I go for a brazilian she insists on wiping me, inside my vagina after every spread of wax, with these packeted wipes.

How is it that we are in 2014 and the medical profession has not done a good enough job to make women aware that using products which remove the oils/mucous from places like the urethra/vagina/anus, causes problems with bacterial infection?

Original Source Tea Tree and Mint FTW. I definitely go for being minty fresh. I don't find it stings - just zings pleasantly.

I'm surprised the sadists at Original source haven't come up with a chilli shower gel yet

This is the funniest thread I've seen for ages SauvignonBlanche never thought I'd say it but I really did snort wine out of my nose.

NoArmani - there was a special edition chili original source a while back (smelt like deep heat...)

Also avoid the mint and walnut scrub on your fanjo - perfect for back and arms but harsh elsewhere...

Phantomnamechanger, I'm not sticking a toothbrush up my bum:)

Plus, for the record ( and anyone lurking with a spreadsheet) my bum never needs to be minty fresh, no one gets that close:)

I don't usually laugh at so-called 'hysterical' MN threads but this has made me really giggle.

Glad you've learnt something today OP!

Composhat

If you had bothered to read all my posts and not just my OP you would have seen I have apologised and actually been quite deferent!

And I'll apologise to you too - I'm sorry that "people" grinded. I really did not mean to sound patronising.

I wash with aqueous cream, including my bum crack. I wash only the soles of my feet and pubic hair with plain unperfumed soap but never between my legs. I never wax.

I just want to know if I'm doing it right? I have never had complaints!

I am mid 50's, will I die?

Bum cr-aqueous cream.

YNK well why wouldnt you jut wash the sole of your feet and pubes with aqueous cream, I mean why bother changing to do them bits?

Vagina candles?! Accidentally sniffing someone else's knickers?! I bloody love this thread

It's a bit disappointing, actually

I quite enjoy my foof smelling fresh when I hop out of the shower. Not like I smell it regularly. Not like I can bend in that way to smell it. Although, after a PP I now know I can unhook this magic tree...

Just to derail the thread slightly, you know in the instructions on a bottle of dettol it gives directions on douching for medical purposes. Can you douche elsewhere?

Everything

Google comes back with nothing.

Does it says anything about enemas?

No you should not wash inside your vagina, yes your labia which gets covered on wee, poo and sweat. to not using soap on your flaps errrrr

sqoosh
mintyy just vaguely?????

No it just says how to dilute the dettol to use it for douching.
Now I know it's wrong regardless but water I can just about understand but dettol?! Would you really put dettol, diluted or not, up there???

Maybe if it was rotting and there was no hope at all in the world left?

As for the enema idea, toothbrush option methinks?

Washing the soles of your feet with aqueous cream would be an accident waiting to happen and I dont trust getting the cream out of my pubes!
Crackqueous cream - yyy!

Just apologising for my shocking sentence construction.

I remember being told as a teenager that soap shouldn't go near your fanjo, only special lady bit soap. I wonder whether this was what we were told by the people who make lady bit soap.
Bizarrely I was thinking about this only today and I was wondering what the current thinking was and if I could get rid of lady bit soap. This was something we just weren't taught about.

This thread reminds me of that Friends episode where Joey discovers the tailor has been groping him for twenty years...

Surely this should go into Classics.

It shouldn't be funny but it is

I never thought I'd see a debate on what constitutes a vagina either.

MN=Bizarre and I love it

Well that very precise and practical YNK
