The vagina must be “sour”
In the vagina are a number of bacteria that are responsible to keep the vagina clean and normal. There must be a proper balance in the vagina, and a favorable environment which allows the normal bacteria favorable growth conditions and inhibit the other. The normal environment of the vagina is “acidic” (low pH). The bacterium Lactobacillus form lactic acid and provide the right acidity and balance in the vagina.
Do not wash Lactobacillus away!
Lactobacillus are very sensitive to foreign substances, such as soaps.
If the amount of Lactobacillus decreases, the environment will be less acidic. It creates better growth conditions for other bacteria that can irritate the vagina wall and cause more vaginal discharge. This will all sink with soap in the vagina creating a “vicious circle” – the more washing with soap, the worse it gets!
The vagina is self-cleaning and is usually not rinsed or washed.
