Just wondering what cleaning products do you mamas use to wash feminine area?
I used to use Vagisil but think this may have given me thrush. Was just looking for something more gentle. My GP says water is sufficient to clean but what about the odour 🙄

Please don’t use any soap on your vulva! Water ONLY! You’ll find that if you use soap you’ll actually get more odor due to the pH of the soap mixing with your body fluids. Also, it’s likely to cause irritation and possible infection. Your GP is correct! Water only! Also, your vulva has a natural smell that is NORMAL. However, if you’re noticing a fishy smell or a smell that is “off”, or an increase or change in discharge, go to your doctor to be evaluated for an infection 💗

I use nothing, just water, any products actually upset the pH balance of your self cleaning lady parts. I started using things years ago and found myself getting thrush constantly, turns out it was the products, since using only water I have had 0 issues!

Don't use any feminine washes they're all full of chemicals!
Haha okay, thanks ladies I will stick to the water! 😂 I think I’m just paranoid and get self conscious especially when my boyfriend goes down on me 🙈☺️

i’ve only ever used water and never smelled before, my partner actually loves the smell of my vagina 🤣 the one time i used soap, i was itching like crazy and it irritated me. water is fine!

If you really want to use something I use femfresh it smells lovely xx

Hi ! I have been using dermoplast spray and it has worked marvellously for me
Hope it works xx

Femfresh most def gave me thrush, agree with comments don’t use any of these types of products on your vulva! I’m really self conscious also, and the fact that these products are on shelves doesn’t help.

Femfresh 0% works fine for me. The other types are too aggressive and might indeed give thrush. Not too aggressive and have been using during pregnancy as well. My husband uses it too and no issues!

Femfresh is one of the worst things to use. If you Google the ingredients in it they are all so bad for your skin let alone your intimate areas! Please just use water only
Your vagina is not meant to smell of flowers strawberries vanilla or anything else that's sweet. It's meant to have an odour

Very true. I agree with you in general terms, but for myself I don’t mind Femfresh 0% as the ingredients are ok on my skin and it doesn’t have a smell. INCI decoder gives it a good score: https://incidecoder.com/products/femfresh-0-intimate-wash

I use super drugs version of femfresh. Women sweat around their lips and I found water alone does allow me to feel or smell clean which is Important to me

*doesn't

I use femfresh soothing and I think it's great personally, never had any issues! X
