6. Problems following excessive cleaning
Over-cleaning can backfire badly. Harsh soaps and douches upset your vagina’s natural bacterial balance, raising infection risks. Strong chemicals may also irritate delicate skin, causing discomfort. Use plain water or a mild, unscented cleanser for external washing only. Skip douching—your vagina cleans itself. Embrace your natural scent and avoid products with fake fragrances that mask it.
