Blogger Pauline Njoroge has advised that women should not clean their vagina with soap. She says that vagina is a self cleaning organ and if it’s thoroughly and repeatedly washed by soap,it loses its grip.Below is the blogger’s argument:
“Recently, I came across a video that was apparently shared in a WhatsApp group by mistake. It showed a woman bathing using a bucket, and what caught my attention was the excessive use of soap on her private area.
I still don’t get why women take such videos or photos to send to men, but that’s not the issue here. What genuinely concerned me was the health implication of using regular soap on the vagina.
Ladies, it is important to know that the vj has a delicate pH balance, and using regular soap can disrupt it. This imbalance can lead to irritation, dryness, and an overgrowth of yeast, which may result in discomfort, and recurring infections.
What some might not know is that the vj is self cleansing. Plain water is sufficient but don’t go deep or use harsh products like soap”
Many people opt to wash vagina with soap to remove any smell from it,which is not good.
