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.

Are you people serious? You wash inside your foofy (thats obv the technical term!)? Why would you want to do that?! Does it get dirty in their? I thought thats what producing discharge was for!

Sorry, just seen that a sigle word answer will do: err, no.

I'm American and used to do it when I lived in the States but stopped doing it when I came to England and learned more about the possible harmful effects.

I can say that, in my experience in Texas, it's a common practice. Mom introduced me to it when I started having periods and friends all did it. I know because we used to discuss the various scents, strawberry being a favourite. All sounds very strange now.

What do you do? Stick your fingers in and have a wiggle about?

starrynight · 15/06/2005 16:13

NO

SecondhandRose · 15/06/2005 16:15

Mum2Ela, no I think there's another name for that.
