Cleansing products[edit]
Although there is no need for cleansing products given that the vagina cleans itself with vaginal discharge, many commercial cleansing products exist.


 * Douches: A fluid used to flush out the inside of the vagina. Douches are not recommended for use given that they can disrupt normal vaginal bacteria.
 * Feminine wipes: A moist, sometimes scented cloth used to wipe the vulva. These may also disrupt the normal vaginal environment.
 * Unscented soap: A gentle way to wash the vulva to minimize the risk of irritation. Using plain, unscented soap is recommended for the area around the vagian but not inside the vagina.
