      @@imaginartist2139 Yes, anything with scents are bad according to my gyno. She said to stay away from douches, soaps, scented products, etc. The best way to keep the vagina & the surrounding area clean is washing the area with warm water & your hands (no washcloths). If the area is especially dirty she said to use Cetaphil plain facewash & do not get it inside, use it only on the outside.

      Dont have sex until it is cleared. If you have sex and are already doing so without condoms, use coconut oil as a lube when doing so. But dont use it with condoms.
      Vagisil wipes arent cure. Getting your body in check, is. Sometimes you need a script.

    @kellyphant88 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Dear women (young and old) please do not use any soaps in the vulva area, and most definitely not IN the vagina!
    Vaginas clean themselves, vulvas are to be cleaned with water and fingers.
    Using soaps (including vagisil) will only make any issues you have worse.
    If you have BV or are prone to BV, don’t use tampons as this can make the odor worse and the vagina can not breathe properly.
    If in doubt, see a doctor.

    My Nana is a nurse and for many years she worked primarily with gynecologists, and when my dad was a teenager, he would always hang out during the Lamaze classes, so talking about vaginal health was never a problem for me. I'm fortunate enough to have parents I feel comfortable talking to. The funny thing is my dad usually knows more about that kind of stuff than my mom, just because he spent so much time at the OBGYN with my Nana. Another advantage I had, was we went to an extremely liberal church, and they had this class for elementary school students, where they went in depth about sexual health, I mean it was really detailed, they didn't down play anything and they didnt insist on abstinence. I actually didnt go to the class but parents could still purchase the text book that went with it, and thats what my mom did. I wish more places could have a program like that one.

    Initially I thought this a sponsored video not a full ad but quickly realized it was. I'm not bothered though. I listened to hear what they had to say, even though I don't use these types of products. I do wish they'd been clear about which part is actually the vagina and advised that one's personal Dr still needs to be talked to. Otherwise no issue. I'm glad my little one knows AND says the word with no problem 😊.
