Should I douche to feel clean and fresh?
No, washing the inside of your vagina is not necessary. The vagina cleanses itself, so there is no need to insert douches or similar products into the vagina. In addition, douching is a risk factor for bacterial vaginosis (BV). You can feel clean and fresh simply by using a mild cleanser with deodorizing agents, such as Lactacyd, to wash the external (vulvar) area.
