Let's talk about something that often goes unmentioned - how to properly clean our vaginas!

You don't need to clean your actual vagina. The vagina - the inner canal - is a well-oiled (erm, lubed?), self-cleaning machine. It's important to know that the vagina is a self-cleaning organ, and using harsh products can disrupt its natural balance. Your vagina is literally inside your body. It's the canal that leads to the cervix, which is like the gateway to your uterus.

So, how often should you clean your vagina? The answer is never! Cleaning your vulva, on the other hand, is a good idea. Your vulva refers to all the external bits;
• Labia, aka "lips"
• Clitoris
• Clitoral hood

So what's the right way to clean down there?

Simply washing the vulva with warm water and a gentle, fragrance-free soap is all you need! And remember, each body is unique - if you're experiencing any discomfort or irritation, talk to your healthcare provider. Let's break the taboo and start having open, honest conversations about our bodies.
