6. Problems following excessive cleaning
Over-cleaning can do more harm than good.
Harsh soaps and douches disrupt your vagina’s natural bacterial balance, increasing the risk of infections. Strong chemicals can also irritate sensitive skin, leading to discomfort.
Stick to plain water or a gentle, unscented cleanser for external cleansing. Avoid douching, as the vagina is self-cleaning. Embrace your body’s natural scent and avoid products that mask it with artificial fragrances.
