Vagina-friendly cleansing products that doctors won't say No to
/Have you noticed an uptake in interest in vaginal products? If you have, you aren’t wrong. In fact one report predicts that the “feminine hygiene” market, consisting of sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners and shields, internal cleansers, sprays, and disposable razors is expected to grow to $42.7 billion by 2022.
While it’s true that your vagina doesn’t technically require any cleansing products, your vulva on the other hand could do with a little TLC. Before you go, but aren’t they the same, here’s a quick anatomy lesson.
The vagina is the muscular canal inside your body that allows menstrual flow and babies during childbirth to pass through. The vulva on the other hand refers to the outer area around the vagina and this includes the inner and outer vaginal lips, the clitoral hood, the clitoris, pubic mound and the urethra.
The vagina itself is a self-cleaning organ and a healthy vagina should have a pH value of 3.5 to 4.5, which is slightly acidic, for it to be to be considered healthy and preventing bad bacteria from thriving.

Hence washing inside or douching is not recommended at all as it can cause irritation and yeast infections.
Vulva, being on the outside area, should be cleaned on a daily basis and be part of your daily hygiene routine. Warm water may be good enough but if you want to be a little more thorough, there are products you can use to spruce things up a little without incurring the ire of your doctor.
