Like every other sex-related topic, the average African is hesitant when it comes to discussing the importance of maintaining a healthy vagina.

The vagina is usually thought to be dirty and smelly but the good news is; like every other body part, the vagina can be kept healthy and smelling of rose petals.

A huge percentage of Nigerian women do not visit the gynecologist for checkup because they are not comfortable discussing their lady parts while some view it as a waste of time and money.

However, it’s neither.

Here are some ways to maintain a healthy vagina.



Water is your best friend

Water should be called a woman’s best friend. It helps the skin look bright and acne will be a distant memory. In the case of your lady parts, washing with water is your safest bet.

Cleaning with soaps and feminine wash may distort the microbial balance and this could lead to infections.

Also, drinking enough water will get rid of that uncomfortable smell. Like the mouth, the vagina is a mucus surface so it needs to be hydrated to stay fresh and look healthy.

So instead of spending money on feminine wash, be economical and safe at the same time, use water.

If you insist on feminine wash…

If you feel uncomfortable washing with just water, use feminine wash occasionally.

Gynecologists have proven over time that the vagina is self-cleansing and does not necessarily need extra help.

Sisters, the extra scrubbing is not needed. Handle with care.
