No-rinse intimate foam, lotion or gel?

Hello

Can you suggest a no-rinse intimate foam, lotion or gel that removes and keeps off the smell effectively without having to wash and rinse?

Cheapest possible would be great too!

Thanks!

I'd be very wary of using products that get left on. Get a portable bidet (for on top of your loo) and use warm water and a spoon of bicarb. Sit in that for a while. Should solve your problem. Use a wet wipe(take it in a bag) for when you are away from home.

If there is an offensive smell, then you need investigated for an infection. Normal vaginal secretion is either odourless or smells faintly like fresh cut raw potato.
You shouldn’t need to use any products other than your normal soap (or shower gel) and water.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster

Have you been to see your GP? If you’re smelling to that extent you really need to get checked out.

Yes as others have said, the vagina is self-cleaning, and good at it. Vaginal fluids are slightly acidic to prevent infections. If there's a smell then there could be a problem and a GP should be visited. It's not advised to leave products on the vulva and definitely not advised inside the vagina. It upsets the natural balance that the secretions normally ensure.

I once had BV and the nurse said to never use those intimate washes or anything like that.
