LADIES: 12 things that should NEVER go anywhere NEAR your v*gina..

This one may seem a bit counter-intuitive. You want to be clean and showered. But soap can be drying, especially inside. Remember, the vagina is self-cleaning, so stick to washing just the vulva (i.e. the external genitalia, as opposed to the vagina which is the internal canal leading to the uterus) with a natural, mild, fragrance-free soap.

Avoid body washes, which often have even more fragrance and alcohol than bar soap. And we know the temptations that come along with back massagers, but don’t even think about using your back scrubber down there!
