Vagina hygiene prevents bad smells and some infections like candida and UTI. The inside of your vagina can clean itself-putting fingers, water or soap inside can irritate it and kill good bacteria. Do not use strong soaps as they can also kill good bacteria. Keep your vagina clean by washing the outside twice daily with clean water only. Vagina hygiene DOES NOT clear Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)- if you have strange symptoms go to a clinic IMMEDIATELY. ONLY abstinence and condoms protect against STIs. See a doctor before using commercially available vaginal creams.
