Do you know what I am talking about? Basically do you wash your ladies area on the inside as well as the outside? I know it's a bit gruesome but it's one of those things you can't just drop into a conversation. I do.

No

jessicasmummy · 15/06/2005 12:17

in the bath yes.

WigWamBam · 15/06/2005 12:18

No. There's no need; those bits are self-cleansing.

Water's ok, but aren't the special 'feminine products' supposed to cause all manner of problems?

SecondhandRose · 15/06/2005 12:26

Don't use anything except water and soap on the outside.

Courtesy of Googe:

"Douching is squirting a soapy or antiseptic solution into the vagina to ?cleanse? it. There is no need to do this, because the vagina cleans itself very efficiently. In fact, douching has the opposite effect; it destroys the friendly bacteria, gets rid of the healthy acidity and damages the lining, allowing thrush and other infections to take hold easily".

JoolsToo · 15/06/2005 12:27

doesn't this involve a load of fannying about?

jessicasmummy · 15/06/2005 12:27

PMSL JT!

SecondhandRose · 15/06/2005 12:28

OK then the question is do you wash your Mary inside with water and not with the 'soapy or antiseptic' stuff as I certainly don't do that!

Heathcliffscathy · 15/06/2005 12:30

No. It's actually really bad for you, as it totally upsets the balance of bacteria up there and can cause thrush and allsorts. Water not as bad but still not ideal to be fannying about up there with it imo.
