I cant remember if it was on gnet that I read about the correct way to wash the vagina. I read that you must never wash the inner labia only the outer. The inner has its own system of cleaning itself and can be affected by harsh soap/detergent. I had an argument today with a family member about how to wash this area and she washes the inner (bits) on her little girl, I have never believed in washing babies in that area unless they were soiled and only then with a damp tissue, not those scented baby wipes. So my question is, to settle the argument- do we wash the inner labia, women or babies or let it clean itself.

On a lighter side, my sisters friend went to dr for intimate examination. She lay down and assumed the smear position. The dr looked at her and said 'Thanks for making an effort today' she had sprayed herself with her daughters glitter hair spray instead of few fresh. grin

I don't doubt it, but I've heard it before. Perhaps it's quite a common occurrence!
