An intimate wash specifically designed for the intimate area is the only type of wash you should use around your vagina. Never insert any creams or lotions, or soaps in your vagina, as that may disrupt the pH balance. Soaps in and around the area are also a bad idea, and that is because these soaps and shower gels are designed for the rest of the body and not the intimate area.
Intimate washes are used to maintain feminine hygiene to keep the area clean and avoid bad odour or even infections.
