Hey guys! In this video I discuss how feminine hygiene practices passed down by our moms, grandmas, and even great-grandmas may be negatively affecting our vaginal health. There seems to be this never ending rat-race women find themselves in as it pertains to vaginal odor and cleanliness. Let's talk about it!

Boric Acid: amzn.to/2SLOdH4
My commonly used women's health probiotics:
1) amzn.to/37Bo9ny
2) amzn.to/37sNf80
Here's the Boric Acid supplement I recommend: ph-D Feminine Health Boric Acid Vaginal suppositories - go.magik.ly/ml/1vc4z/
These are wonderful! I always have a bottle in my bathroom.
Ty so much. I've been telling my OB Dr that I have a std because I never had oder or itchy. They keep telling me I have nothing. But sensitivity. Gave me a cream, and years later. Same problem. I'm going to talk to my OB Dr. About VD or how do I say it again?

@@carolspivey7199 Thank you so much! Because I've haven't been with anyone in a long time. So I was very confused 🤔. Ty because I think if you was my nurse, I would be better by now, and you taught us how to prevent it from coming back. I do drink a lot less coffee. And try to stay away from toxins, and drink water. Now I know not to be so clean. The vagina cleans out it self. So now I'm just using water inside and out. However. I think I need an antibiotic first. 🦋🌹😊
I use boric as well I’m very clean comes when I have sex with hubby I hate so uncomfortable
I was 13 when my foster mom taught me how to properly clean my crotch. She showed me how to squat or prop up a leg on the tub and lower myself down a bit to open my legs. Then use a fesh washcloth with a little mild soap and water to gently wipe my mons and between my vulva creases, then rinse thoroughly. Never douche either! Wash twice a day, morning when I wake up and before bed at night, and on hot days, sprinkle a little cornstarch baby powder in the panties to reduce moisture from sweat. Also change into fresh dry panties as many times as you need to in a day to keep dampness out of your crotch and prevent infection. I also learned to replace my stash of cotton panties every year and buy at least 20 pairs. Hope this helps anyone seeing this!
I believe that wetness is the biggest culprit. Drying properly will help us avoid most issues.
Baby powder causes cancer. Wash your boxers and put arm and hammer on your feet 🧌
😂😂😂😂😂
Using cornstarch/baby powder is extremely dangerous and outdated. Please ladies, really do your research and get to know your body.
Stay away from powders
I was TODAY years old when I learned this information that us females should have been taught FROM THE BEGINNING! Thank you so much
I hate how there's memes out there shaming women's vaginas for smelling fishy. the littlest thing can trigger bv or thrush. stop shaming women's genitals. we all do our best. not saying this channel does. great channel

STOP BEING SO SENSITIVE STOP THE BUSINESS
@@beegees3180 are you a boy?
@@dinOo.882 yep so what
@@DeadPiixxel did I ask you?
Good job explaining this to women who may not know. I'm a nurse and listened to see what you had to offer. I knew most of this from being old, but also from training and some good gyn doctors over the years. I think we have been conditioned to artificial fragrances over the years in the form of douches, sprays, soaps, air fresheners, etc. We need to learn that we all have A SMELL unique to our own bodies and unless it's really foul, we should learn to love it. I'm of the opinion if it smells like something rotting and maybe looks bad or stuff is oozing somewhere, you may be infected with something. See a Doctor. Thanks for your video. I hope the women watching learn from this.
Using boric acid is super good
How can I explain this to someone without hurting their feelings?
@@MrRock0002 depends what you’re trying to explain…
Yes! I learned this because I was also conditioned to that concept. I started learning more when becoming a nurse myself. It’s very interesting.
For you:
Repent and be baptize in the name of Yeshua Almighty Masiah, time is running out, Yeshua love you and He don't won't you to parish, repent and turn to Yeshua Amen.😇
'Soap on the outside,water on the inside ' was what I was taught. And to wear cotton panties.
Yep!!😊
Yep. Me too
👍
I was taught to use soap on the outside and good loose cotton panties and not tight clothes and keep your self clean
Ik
@@ginniejohnson4535 yep, tight clothes is how you can get trichomonas which causes yeast infections.
Eating apples regularly works very well...in addition to abstaining from excessive sugar intake. A wholesome plant-based diet works best.
I agree! I’ve upped my Apple intake and I can tell a huge difference.
If you are worried about a bad smell, its always a good idea to ask your doctor to test for any other infections going on too 😊
Diet is very important spicy food and excessive alchohol is a no no.Drinking Lots of water flushes out the vagina ..Also lemon and water or aloe is magical it strips vagina of impurities yet it keeps the vaginal walls moist as it cuts down odor, continually and regularly drinking aloe or a bit apple cider vinegar eliminates odor completely..soaking in the tub draws impurities out which is very rewarding along with a healthy sensible diet helps tremendously..Natural products with no added perfumes are safer and healhtier. Hope this inFo will be helpful...
I have been washing my private area with Aveeno bar soap. I never had an issue. Washing with just water does not do the job. 😊
Thank you it doesn't do the job water alone down there come on
Oh I agree Plus what about your bowl area going back to the vagina like bacteria traveling giving a person a UTI ?❤
I tried the water only thing after reading Dr. Jackie's book. Didn't work for me either. Dove or feminine wash typically do the job.
Yes Ma'am.@@COJAZZ3
Wash that hair regularly keep fresh panties
Oh my...I thought I smelled bad especially during my menstruation, my doctor was a woman and said exactly what you said...our vagina cleans itself naturally...😉 good advice!!
That is a lie, it cleans itself. Well, not good enough.
I've heard this for years, feminists.
Thank you for this video. Many women are afraid to ask questions regarding their own body. You gave it “real”!
Always pay attention to any scent changes in your body. My regular ob/gyn thought I only had the BV she talks about. Was concerned and went for a second opion only to find out the BV smell was actually the beginning stages of cervical cancer.
Does anyone else agree with the information about the beginning of cancer?
I would like to know more!
Cancer makes a body have different smells that are not always pleasant that's one of the reasons they are training dogs to find cancer in sick people. Also a doctor one time told me the worst thing a patient can do is take a shower or bath before the visit or brush their teeth with toothpaste and wear deodorant. Reason being the different smells from the body tell the doctor what is wrong bfore blood tests a lot of times.
@@sherlynpatterson4304 thank you for the info! Makes sense to me 💕💕
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Sooooo glad I came across this page, I soooo wish some of them “know it all uneducated females on Facebook and Instagram that swear you get BV from men and that you’re nasty” come across this page! I’m a new subscriber….. I got BV after a miscarriage and have had a reoccurring issue but I am glad I came across this page
I'm sorry for your loss x.
I've heard lots of ignorant comments from men like , eww they don't have good hygiene. It's got nothing to do w hygiene. Lots of women can overwash their vaginas which can create an imbalance which made lead to some more serious issues
@@nicksterp2805 awwww….thank you
The BEST thing I ever bought for my bathroom routine was a small bidet unit that is easily installed under the toilet seat. I feel and smell clean ALL of the time. There is really no need for toilet paper except to dry off.
Yes the water is cool, but it feels therapeutic and soothing after a bout with your man.
I wish to GOD that I would have had one of these after I gave birth to my 9 pound son. 😉
They aren’t expensive compared to how much we spend on toilet paper and wipes every year.
I found mine on Amazon and I think it was about $150. So Worth It!!!
I'm thinking of getting one of these.
I was curious on how they dry after does it spray water and the air to dry
@@gina62474 Mine doesn’t. I just pay dry with toilet paper. They exist, they just cost more
My mom has one of those, but I haven't ever used it because of toilet contents possibly splashing on the opening where the water sprays out. I don't know maybe it dose’not, but just in case?
@@rufusdusol9453 It has a cleaning mode. Just keep the toilet clean and there shouldn’t be a problem
I have a third of a cup of vanilla Greek yogurt every day. I have absolutely no more problems since I started doing that. It's great! I stay hydrated. Drink more water!
Please don't use it with vanilla just natural yogurt with nothing in it
Yep, yogurt is the way to go.
Are you eating the yogurt?
@@naimamarshall6574 you put it inside Vijaya
Dip a tampon in yoghurt then put it inside for 7 days don't have any sex don't do it on your period.
I’ve stopped wearing underwear for years (except during menstruation). I also wear a lot of dresses and wax every 8 weeks. This allows fresh air to circulate! I only use water in the vaginal area. I invested in a bidet and it has a fan to dry yourself off. No toilet paper needed. No wonder BV is a problem when we keep our vagina all trapped, moist and in darkness all day.
Thats nasty, unhygienic for whoever sits after you, it goes down into upholstery…
@@beverlybalius9303 Nothing going through my dress down into upholstery! LOL 😆
@@beverlybalius9303I agree! I can understand not sleeping in them but just strolling around without no drawers on is nasty.
@@rubytuesday863 Why is it" nasty" to go without underwear? You SHOULD air it out down there. ( And if you're concerned, DON'T STROLL!)🤣
I agree with you! I stopped wearing undies in Junior high, because of being a beach kid who was in the ocean all the time, no wet bottoms for me. I have a very healthy vagina, if I get a discharge it means something is off. I address it with plain yogurt, plain water, and have used boric acid to get back to my normal ph.
The use of probiotic capsules, daily, every other day, before or after periods and when there is an irritation really helps
Are you talking about orally or inserted?
Yesss
@@gelflingfay orally
Yeah I agree! I started taking the Doctor's Recipe "women's probiotics with prebiotics and cranberry" which had 50 billion CFU for two capsules. I experimented with that and it was a really good decision. It made my natural smell sweet, buttery, and tangy, like fermented fruit. I started eating more yogurt and stopped wearing underwear. If I didn't want to smell like something I wouldn't eat it. I started eating more avocados, pineapples, mangos, almonds and cashews, etc. Also started taking Sea Buckthorn oil which really helped with lubrication. I never have those issues anymore!! It's one of the best decisions I've made.
@@gelflingfay capsules are for oral and suppositories are for the vagina or anal. Hopefully this is helpful?
A natural antibiotic is one clove of garlic that you can chop up with out chewing and swallow as a pill
My auntie was a registered nurse but also used natural methods as well for people who did not like prescribed medications👍🏽
Won't that make your breath stink all day?

So it's not compulsory for me to chew the garlic right, can I just swallow it, and is it everyday?
Thank you. Like my Mom taught me, I used pre made douche 40 years ago on a regular basis. Once married, I developed a horrible smell with green discharge. I was even embarrassed to go the doctor. When I finally did, he gave me a vag suppository that looked like a yellow light bulb and ordered me to stop douching. No worries now for 40 years. Ty for educating women about this topic.
The worst vag infection I had was when I douched. I did it once and never douched again
I use Dove and / or baby wash, and I never have a problem. Why is that? 2 of my my gynecologists said I was "very clean." Now I am worried that I am doing the wrong thing, and one I may regret the baby wash or Dove, later on.
I do use witch hazel after a potty visit.
@@M2J89 Are you an Adult? Then, why do you call a visit to loo, do not call it"A 'POTTY' Visit. ! Kindy-Talk. Further, Witch Hazel is natural Herb, AN ASTRINGENT, that school kids put on their pimply Faces., to wipe the facial grease/oils off. Dry up the Spots.
Just go to your Local Supermarket, & by some plain, white Yogurt(we have Greek Farmers Union, in Australia), just white, plain And take a spoonfull of that, orally every day. That will help rectify the normal PH of your body.
And, wipe down your Pubic Area with same, daily. Better-still, get a 10 ml syringe from local chemist, AND just squirt 10 mls of plain yogurt, into your Vagina, daily, it will kill off any fungus, or other bad germs that are not supposed to be there. All natural, but a lot Cheaper than that Japanese liquid, in a microscopic plastic bottle, with red writing on it, 'With or without Sugar'. I cannot think of it's name, here & now.
Rhonda weaver..that was Nystatin suppository..
I was lucky to have a Doctor who was trained in the US but of Asian descent. So she took an organic approach..She also did a total diabetes workup. And guess what? The sugar content in my body, which was wacko.... was causing infections, and odor. Once I started on a lower keto diet, and paid more attention to what I ate, made some lifestyle changes? My blood sugar came back into line. And my 'infections' cleared.
Also polyester blend underwear. Needs to be 100% cotton. Too tight pants or not breathable like polyester leggings. Exercise or after swim then stays in wet clothes too long.
I agree with some of what you’re saying but, any female would have an odor during her period or after when the period is going off and the first couple days of discharge. Women can have an odor urinating during the course of the day and going hours of not having a shower. We as female need to wash the out side of the vagina with some kind of soap or feminine wash but not to put anything inside the vagina to wash it. Having an odor doesn’t mean you have vaginosis, it means all day of sweating and not changing under wear and panty liner, urinating, discharge, having sexual intercourse and period days. Anybody not having a shower for hours wearing the same under will be smelly in the private area. I remember watching dr oz on Oprah show and he said the vagina is like a self cleaning oven it cleans itself but I know as women whatever comes out we have to wash the outside of the vagina to make it smell fresh.
I actually don't have an odor with every period...that's how I can usually tell when I'm off. The right Pads trap everything in it. If I can smell anything, I'm off. If I can't smell anything, I'm good. I had recurrent BV for years and the only thing that worked was the boric acid suppositories. You don't need soap, water does work just fine. And instead of using toilet paper, I used the all natural wet wipes with no scent. It took years for me to find a solution but what she said is the truth. Plus she's a medical professional so I would trust her opinion over anyone else's. I'm just commenting because I know what she's saying firsthand from experience.
I agree…the outside and in between those folds and under the hood needs to be cleansed with some form of mild soap. It should never be used inside though.
Well said perfect simple 👏🏾👌🏾✨
@kinggunner197hi how are you
Yes exactly I especially have to address odor from frequent urination and excessive sweating down there a gentle cleanse on outside and changing underwear and panty liners throughout day really helps me thanks for sharing
You really addressed this problem for me. Exactly what I wanted to hear. Straight to the point. Thank you ❤️
I am 52 years old and I have never heard explained that well thank you very much and I'm one of those that always want to keep clean because in the past I have had problems with UTIs and yeast infections
Wow what valuable information, me as a guy always wondered about the soap thing. What’s strange is one day a ex told me her newborn’s kitty smelled like fish, and I didn’t know what to tell her, I do now 25 years later..Thanks for answering my mind🤔 My heart goes out to all females 💞
Sir, don't forget to get your prostate exam. 🙄And MY heart goes to all males who thinks washing their "backside" is unmanly. 😬
@@LUX_8 men also have wash their balls and crack!
@@LUX_8Mean unnecessary comment.
She is spot on ! Its hard to hear for some after what we've been taught. In the 70's we had scented and color toliet paper plus Calgon bath powder. UTI went through the roof. We learned then that plain on water is all we needed, as our vagina is self cleaning. These bath / feminine products sold are all for profit. Drink enough water, yes if you have pubic hair you can clean with non fragrance soap and eat yogart.
I'm 67 yrs young. I've used suppositories, white vinegar, feminine soaps, wet wipes ,Feminine sprays and feminine powders. Some of these are helpful in keeping you fresh and cut down on moisture but the one thing I find that definitely keeps odor in check is something that mothers have used but over looked. The Bidet bottle or peri bottle made from plastic. If you had a baby and got stitches then you know what I'm talking about. This is a game changer ladies. Sometimes I put a very small amount of white vinegar in my bottle for extra freshness. Since I started using this peri bottle I don't have any issues with bad odor or vaginitis. Wish I had stuck with this many moons ago.
Do you dilute it with water & just spray it on the outside of the vagina?
Ĺĺ
@@zoemange6768 as a former nurse, I believe she was saying she uses a peri bottle with water to cleanse and sometimes adds a little vinegar to the water. This is a good idea since most bacteria causing odor comes from the outside, normal discharge or any urine/etc is washed away with every bathroom trip using this method.
Thank you. We will have women walking around smelling. Wearing masks will be necessary. We should not use soap inside the vagina. The tissue in the vagina is sensitive. Women better wipe around that area. Who are they kidding?

I've never used a douche, & never used products down there. My mum taught me from a young age that you don't do those things. Unfortunately a lot of women dont, and won't have been taught about feminine hygiene and care.
I do find it shocking the amount of women who don't know their own bodies, & don't know how to take care of their parts.
Thank you for this video. I hope it helps other women. X.
Why do gyms say the discharge and order is from a yeast infection. Is this true
Boric acid??????
@sabrtnabolden8757
*sorry* I commented you but forgot to @ you in it. X.
A yeast infection could be a reason for a change in discharge & a (different) smell.
Discharge is normal , every woman has it, & it can change depending on the time of month, etc.
It can even get a different smell of you use certain products, never use anything that can mess with the ph balance which can cause bv. The comment above saying boric acid is right, it's a supplement you can take it f you have a ph imbalance. But it can have side effects, it's not for everyone. Food can change it too,
If the smell is very unpleasant & it looks different (colour, texture etc) you should go to your GP, or obgyn.
We have good bacteria in our discharge & certain things can 'kill' it all & cause yeast to grow.
X.
I wouldn't consider that of not knowing your body. It is a lot of things we thought kept it clean, now keeps it dirty.
I totally understand what you saying but also people don’t explain to use it on the outside the (vulva) yes you can use sensitive soap on your vulva not in the insides . And my obgyn explains to me you can use it on the outside not inside the hole. But we can not just smell perfectly fine with out using soap on the vulva !

Wi smell somehow
Thank you so much I’m young 16 and I always get so self conscious about how I smell down there. Like I don’t do anything sexual at all but I could still smell something! And when I sit next to people at school I always get so scared and then I start sweating and stuff! Especially during band because I have to sit with my legs spread out to prop the French horn on my thigh. I don’t even use soap down there except like once a month or something right after my period. When it’s at its worst I swear even more than I usually do because my anxiety just gets worse and then I start smelling body odor on top of it!
I really appreciate this video thank you so much! I thought I was just a disgusting person and I feel a lot better about it now that I know what it is!
It could also depending what you eat because during period my mom always says and its true never to eat eggs fish or anything that give you stench i never eat fish or sushi i dont smell even when i get bv or yeast infection or in general i smell normal the way its suppose to smell i only wash with water not the inside just the outside , it helps me alot i also Dont drink any hard drinks Only keep it with water as hell i also know fruits and sour items help too I eat cucumbers everyday Im honestly good Maybe try that see if it improves also try to change undies every day Instead of wearing same one for two days only keep it cotton honestly i noticed lace and Satin gives off strong smell not worth it
Eat pineapple and drink lots of water.
Bathe in the morning and evening every night
Use a blow dryer to dry yourself after showering. Low or cool setting.
Oh no you're not. You're perfectly imperfect!

DEAREST , HELLO . EXCUSE ME , BUT ...... I THINK AND BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE " IGNORANT " PERTAINING TO THE " FEMALE ORGAN " . A HUMAN FEMALE VAGINA " IS A STRETCHY , MUSCULAR CANAL . MOST WOMEN USUALLY DO WASH THE OUTER PART OF THE VAGINA , SUCH AS , THE LABIA MINORA AND LABIA MAJORA . IT'S FINE USING SOAPS . IT'S THE BUILDUP OF URINE , SWEAT , DIRT , GREASE , POLLUTANTS , AND THE WARMTH OF THAT AREA , THAT CAUSES BACTERIA TO GROW FASTER , THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR , ALSO ODOR COMES FROM HAVING STD . IT GIVES THAT " FOUL FISHY ODOR , ALSO HAVING POOR HYGIENE ".. REMEMBER TO , ALWAYS WASH YOUR FEMALE PART FIRST , THEN WHEN FINISH , WASH YOUR ANUS LAST , AND NEVER TOUCH YOUR FEMALE PARTS AGAIN , EXIT THE CLEANING FROM YOUR ANUS . BECAUSE YOU'LL BRING BACTERIA TO YOUR FEMALE PARTS , AND THAT'S ALSO THE CAUSE FOR AN INFECTION . GET IT ? GOOD !
It's reality dear, education is vital :P

So the folds where the vaginal lips are clean themselves? Yeah I’m not going to put soap inside my vagina but the folds need to be cleaned some way and not cleaning that area doesn’t seem correct. I’ve had no issues with cleaning the folds...
No it dosen't, can't tell if she is talking about both or just the inside, which I know already.
Agree
Same here. I absolutely clean the outside, folds, labia with mild soap. That area is not self cleaning.
Exactly

If you don’t clean it it’s going to stink I have experience this my self if I don’t clean it with anything it will smell bad
Why do i smell like fish when i eat fish?
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is an uncommon condition that causes an unpleasant, fishy smell. It's also called "fish odour syndrome". Sometimes it's caused by faulty genes that a person inherits from their parents, but this isn't always the case. Body odor after eating seafood is typically related to a metabolic disorder. People with trimethylaminuria develop a fishy odor after consuming seafood because they can't break down the chemical trimethylamine that's naturally found in seafood. The odor will appear within a few hours
This is not true.i don't eat seafood and I still will have fishy odors.mostly at the end of my cycle.
Drink lots and lots of water . Pineapple makes it sweet and oregano in tea makes it smell sweet. Do not put any inside you can put oregano in your bath too. Oregano gets rid of body odors maybe Change pad more often like every half an hour and talk a bottle in toilet for it over Vijaya when on the toilet that will freshen you up before you put pads back on.

Thankyou so much, happens to me every time. So it’s likely not always BV. After years of rashes and pain,which I thought must be endless yeast infections, l finally saw a really kind gynaecologist who explained I have lichen sclerosis. It’s a skin condition and it’s MISERABLE. What do you use for this fishy condition.?? Every women needs to know about lichen sclerosis but very few do and suffer until they go bananas.
I haven't been able to use soap for 16 years. I either use no scent feminine wash or just hot water. I only wear cotton panties with panty liners. I drinks lots of water, eat fruit, yogurts and I swear by apple cider vinegar with the mother and lemon in my water. Feminine wash doesn't cause discharge like soap did for me.

Women don’t realize how FAST they can get a bacterial blood infection. Many women have died as a result. Sorry I can’t remember her name but she was on for an hour and the host was extremely sensitive and caring. Please look for it. EVERY woman needs to hear it. TSS feels like a flu at first or you become disoriented. It’s a form of SEPSIS and is DEADLY‼️ ‼️ Again the show is diary of a ceo and hosts name is Steven. PLEASE WATCH IT‼️
Only time I ever have issues like this is if I eat alot of foods with sugar. Being on keto and eating keto friendly sweets I don't have this problem anymore but when I did it sucked.
I would shower twice a day. And I know that's normal for some of yall for me ....no.
Yep, sugar has alot to do with it I think.
@@talenalewis1823 yes because the yeast candida feeds off the sugar.
I eat keto and stopped getting skin tags too!!!
@@merinajalaya740 EXACTLY!👍
I learned that sugary drinks and foods will cause an unpleasant scene 😏. Drinking more water and cutting out meat and dairy does my skin and body good.
Thank you. Very direct supportive video. We assume that women know about the female area and so there is no need to teach. Some women feel uncomfortable asking questions.
Been telling my friends this for years.. wash downstairs with plain water. And go knickerless. You will never have any odours & don't have sex if your not in a relationship.
Thank you for sharing. I've had it twice now. Beating my brain how I got it. My doctor looked at me like I was a dirty person.. They never explained to me what caused it. They said no more baths..
I'm so happy I ran into this page.
Let me guess, a male doctor?😷
Male doctor - it has to be!
Taking probiotics makes a huge difference
It sure does!
Amen to that
Thank you for discussing this topic. I have been dealing with this and didn't know what to do.🥰
💕 you're not alone, sis
Yogurt ( Greek ) helps tremendously, whether eaten or used as a “ douche “, and yes I said douche. ☺️ I am 67 and have been blessed to have never suffered from this condition. When I first started my period, my physician just told me to use vinegar/water douche after my period if there is any odor or if I just want to feel clean and fresh. Thank you for the info..
Yes vinegar is the best .
I do not know how these young women think, but we must keep that area clean. Thank you for clarifying. We will have women walking around smelling. Wearing masks will be necessary. We should not use soap inside the vagina. The tissue in the vagina is sensitive. Women better wipe around that area. Who are they kidding?
@@Dr.Sharron I agree some may think they mean the whole thing you must clean the outside of your virgina
My gynecologist told me that it is not good for a woman to douche!! You should not insert ANYTHING in your vagina!!!
@@crystalhill3815 they old school. It’s hard to unteach people things
I'm not a woman but I'm the man that loves a woman that takes care of her "Golden Purse". And I'd I could pass this important and valuable message on to my females ,its a plus..trust
FEMALES?? PLAYA!
You just take care of your bits, males can get odour down there
I work in pools. BV happens to me every year bc of the chlorine. It strips the bacteria down there.Boric Acid suppositories really helped.
Boric Acid works
I swear by those
Yes they really help.
simple and practical advice! you wear one underwear when you go to work, another underwear at home, bacteria are destroyed very quickly in the air!
Thank you for this, I did a small experiment because I've been using dove no scent soap and some days im good and other days the odor comes..I stopped using soap for about a couple of days and guess what ...no smell lol go figure.. I just rinse my area with hot water until its clean
My pleasure. Happy to hear you're getting some relief!
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
Wait really? I always feel like if I don’t use the soap I smell

A good diet is better. Baked or grilled chicken, raw fish, plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink about 2 liters of water a day. You’ll be good…
Not true. diey might help some things but not smelly vaginas much,
Thanks to *doctor iyhere on youtube* he cured me with his *herbal medicines* and now my *Virginia no longer sticks nor smell*
Cranberries or the juice
A good diet is better for a lot of things , including healthier skin , but most people don’t want that. Most people want convenience. They want to eat fast food and then rely on some product from the pharmaceutical industry to take care of their problem.
One "small" thing: a lot of people say vagina when they actually mean vulva (for those who don't know, you can't see your vagina, the thing you see from outside - the flaps etc - is a vulva), I think this is an important thing that needs to be clarified in every such video because you never know who is watching and if they know the difference.
I use the word Vagina because so many women don’t recognize the word “vulva”. As a clinician you have to meet your patients where they are and explain things in a way they understand, that’s why I use vagina vs vulva, so often in the video. But I agree with you.
@@NurseMidwifeBAEYou have to explain the difference though. First of all you need to clean the vulva with warm water and either a good feminine wash or a mild soap to get it clean. The vagina is what is self cleaning and doesn't need anything besides maybe a little water if you want.
Watching to assist my wife. Excellent work nurse.
😂😂😂😂
All men who enjoy the female company need to know everything that that you have talked about on this video clip Aishah
You did better than any video I've seen regarding BV. Get rid of soap down there ladies. Good job!👌🏾
Thank you for this upload Sis 🙏 ❤ Much love coming from a dude My mother taught us as young boys what to look out for she always told us whenever that time comes all a women needs is just water and clean underwear. Long story short I had to stop talking to a girl because whenever that time would come up the small was just horrible and we both want to Doctors to make sure. All them chemicals in them brands is causing our Sisters to get cancers etc Thank you for your post once again
my pleasure!
This is very good information. Probiotics is good in avoiding bacterial infections and to much douching is not good either because you're washing away your natural secretions that fight off germs. The vagina is like a open wound... easily to get infection.
Good analysis...the vagina is like an open wound..easy to get an infection..
@@AshleyParker7888 thanks!
Wow I learned today 👌and I enjoyed her way of explaining very sweet and understanding

Our bodies can also smell bad from smoking, eating animal products, and drinking alcohol. Instead of just using bathroom tissue after using the toilet- squirt some water on yourself ( back first, then front ).. then use toilet tissue to dry yourself ( first front then back ). You can save an empty shampoo bottle for this purpose.
Just sit in a warm bath twice a day with ACV. For 2-3 days. Should clear that up. 😊
What's ACV?
@@kellyh119 Apple cider vinegar
@@kellyh119 i think it’s Apple Cider Vinegar?
How much ACV goes in the bath
@@kellyh119 Water above waist line. And about a cup of ACV.
The commercials that are on TV (Lume) are disgusting and degrading to women. Women don't need these expensive things. Wash the perineal area with mild soap and water, rinse and dry. The vagina does not need to be washed.
I use dove soap on the outside & just rinse with water. Nothing up in that but plain water.
Unscented?
I think stress sweat is a nightmare for me🤦🏽♀️ the more fight or flight(anxiety /adrenaline) the worse it is and started getting that Lumi deodorant for your creases, and it helps but even that can have you getting boils or rashes if not careful with shaving and usage. This is part of the reason why I don’t go to the gym.
Sis....THANK YOU! The Boric acid suppositories WORKED!!! I began inserting morning and before bed and in two days my BV was GONE! As my hardheaded self has had to learn...I continued inserting for 7 days and odor is gone. I also have found that using local spring water is better than tap water because spring shouldn't have any chemicals added. Sometimes I wish I could just sew it up!!! Geesh...been battling BV for 20 years now!!! Stuff be embarrassing.. men think you're dirty...and we aren't. We just have trippy coochies!😇
Vagina is natural cleaning, all you need to do is eliminate what is causing the excess bacteria.
@@zythr9999 I'm odor free now...thank God! But how do you pin point the cause of the rising of the pH???
@@tanyadoeshairllc That's good. It can depend on sex, if you're taking medications, douching, a tampon in too long, to name a few instances. Too tight clothing that doesn't allow airflow can also cause an increase in bacteria in the vagina.
Boric acid capsules are magical! 😉💗🦄
@@tanyadoeshairllc sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint but a healthy diet as organic as possible, drinking more water and regular exercise has worked wonders for me.
OMG...I LOVE U!! I'm literally so grateful that there is finally a professional voice putting this info out there for young women or just women period...I feel very blessed to have had an informed mother, she passed in 2012, but she instilled this, as well as a plethora of knowledge over many subjects, well within me!! She was such a beautiful woman and it's awesome to finally hear her teachings to me throughout my life, not just professionally confirmed but BROADCASTED on a major social media platform. I cannot tell you the number of times that my peers, mostly females but men, too, at times have looked at me like I was just gross and completely batty when I would try to tell them that the vagina is, in my mother's words, "a self cleaning oven." ☺️💯💜 Well, I'm definitely #GANGGANG...YOU ARE AWESOME!! THANKS AGAIN LOVELY LADY!
I share tips on how to get rid of a fishy vagina smell th-cam.com/video/pFnOC2tMRwI/w-d-xo.html
Soap messed me up so bad. Regardless of how mild and even Summers Eve was terrible. I wash the outside with soap, BUT before I apply soap to my wash rag, I clean my vagina by using only a wet rag (i just wipe with a wet rag in the shower). *Baam, clean*. I freak out if any soap gets between my Labia.
Very helpful. Thanks .
The best way to get your ph levels back to normal is to get a douche bottle, fill it clear up with warm water and put in about 2 Tbsp of plain Stonyfield Organic probiotic yogurt. Shake it up really well and douche.
Also, you should obviously limit sugar intake. If you’re desperate, do a keto diet! That works like a charm.
To get the itching to go away on the outside, you can always wipe with apple cider vinegar, but I’d always make sure to put something probiotic on it afterward. But apple cider vinegar really does give immediate relief. It’s just that the infection will come back stronger if you don’t use probiotics. The key is to practically bathe in probiotics!
Avoid situationships sex with men who you're not in a committed relationship with, this is another risk factor
You are so right about that. I was told years ago by my doctor not to use soap. It will give you problems.. Good advice to those that do not know.
Never gave me problems. Used dove.
I did an experiment. I learned that the discharge from men in vagina gives a bad odor. There’s nothing you can do to get rid of this odor. Washing douching or sitting in a tub don’t work. You have to let the discharge run out on its own. Takes between one to two weeks.The order varies cause each men discharge is different. Me and my girlfriend use to wonder why we had orders and no matter what we did we couldn’t get rid of it. Then it would just disappear. That’s why I did the experiment.
Hello, in your experiment(s) was the men condom"d or not?
@@kaygibbs8639 not
Thank you Nurse Midwife Bae and explaining BV. I always wondered about the fishy smell. I stopped eating tuna because I thought it was because of that. This discussion was very informative and helpful.
Thankful for my Arabian husband-and I strong medical background not only in books but in various understandings.
i struggled all my life with odor, had BV many times. ive tried everything. went to.the doc many times and nothing wrong. but still had odor. i tried not using soap and let the vagina maintain itself and still stinky. so....i purchased lume deodorant . finally im good and feel normal. stink is gone. been using Lume 3 yr. what a relief
Yes girl warm water is all u need 🙏💯❤️ that's how God put us together cause that stuff has all those chemicals in them an are bad for us
Ive been teaching this to my grand daughters since they were teens! The vagina is the only self cleaning organ in the human body and males don't have one!
&Don't Want1🤔
This is a great video. I love the way you put the information out to cover everyone. I stopped using soap and things are so much happier down there.
i’m only 13 and i hate being by people at school because they don’t understand.
Yooo i took this advice because my mom and grandma kept telling me to use soap down there and i kept getting this fishy smell
I stopped using soap and like after 3 days the smell is all gone 🤩🤩🤩
LOL
I hate myself

While reading some of the comments, I've noticed some women don't know that the vagina and the vulva are not the same. We should wash our vulva but not our vagina.
Exactly!
Way to go girl 👍still watching and I like how you mentioned probiotics too. Didn't know you were going to. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I STOPPED USING SOAP FOR QUITE SOMETIME BECAUSE I NOTICED I WAS ITCHING OR FEELING "DIFFERENT!" ONCE I STOPPED USING SOAPS AND SCENTED ANYTHING, I'M FINE...
Thank you very much for educating us in how vaginal hygiene should be. We learn so much from this talk.💖🌹👍🤗
For you:
Repent and be baptize in the name of Yeshua Almighty Masiah, time is running out, Yeshua love you and He don't won't you to parish, repent and turn to Yeshua Amen.😇
My question is, whose using soap IN the vagina? That isn't possible. Does she mean that we shouldn't be using soap anywhere in the vaginal area? The Vulva should be washed with soap, right? Or just warm water?
Im still a kid but im going thru puberty now and this relieved me cause i thought it was infection or something they cal STI or yeast thingies 😭 tysssm!!! 😊😊
Yuck, I would hate to have a vag.

Thank you so much! I had BV on and off for a period of over a year, long in each time i had it- and the first time I had it I was douching all the time unsure initially what it was but just with water and I never knew and always thought or read up that it's bad- but it relieves me to know water isn't as harsh as it's made out to be- there was times it was so bad and in my mentality it's better to wash out (if needed) though the vagina is meant to be self cleaning the fact of the matter at that time was it was not self cleaning and there was not a good presence there so it wouldn't do more harm to take away the more multitudes of it by douching with water :) random thought/remember but wanted to share thank you so much and this is the most informative helpful video I have ever seen I love the way you have explained for us thank you :) I wish us all good health and Balance
You are absolutely adorable ! I learn something from you in 86 years of my life ! Thank you I wash my “ flora and fauna “ with soap,crazy old women ! Thank you dear !
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
Oh you old old
Harsh soaps always burned my peri area! 😮 I stopped using them with sulfates in them and switched to a baby body wash with NO CHEMICALS. BIG DIFFERENCE ! No more stinging there !
I know what you mean but it’s almost impossible to stop washing the outside area of the female parts especially when it stinks!
I found this video very informative & wish I’d seen it yrs ago as I always worried when I’d have that “fishy smell” after having sex or skipping a shower on the weekend.
I did hear 30 yrs ago that we shouldn’t use douches. And yes my mother & grandmother always stressed the importance of staying clean down there so we wouldn’t stink!😂😃
I noticed that Coast deodorant soap would give me VB instantly just washing the outside area . A cpl hrs after using perfumed soap & the FDS spray I’d start smelling that “fishy odor”! Thank you so much for this video & educating those of us that listened to our mothers & grandmothers all our life!! I’m subscribing to your channel!♥️🙏🏻
Ppp
I am almost 70, so I know a few things! 1st. I have never used soap or worn underwear! I know, I can hear, groan if you will but it's worked for me. Now I'm going to listen to the post. P. S. I grew up in Europe where I always heard that if you want to stink trap the smell with panties.
I Absolutely love the way you presented this & it does make a lot of sense.
thank you! Glad you enjoyed the information.
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
Awesome info. Thank you for helping me to understand so much My question is , does any of this pertain to a Postmenopausal 70 year old lady who is also a newlywed and still enjoys intimacy. I have found the product Monistat boric acid genital wash is very helpful for irritation and itching, but of course like anything else it’s temporary. I find just wiping down there after urinating with cold water dampened toilet paper helps very much. I have always been a Vagisil Oder control and PH Balance liquid soap user , but now it sounds like those two products are actually exaggerating the irritation after a day or 2. UGHhhhhhh , Momma never explained these Senior moments to me. 😂. Love listening to your advice and Thank You. God Bless and keep you safe❤🙏🏼
Old school Male here.
Would rather smell natural odour rather than soap any day.
Lmao 😂 hell naw. You sound like somebody else I know😀
@@talenalewis1823 well at least I'm not alone.
