To BV or Not To BV 👀 The pitfalls of self-diagnosis

Should I Use Washcloths, Loofahs, or Hands Only on the Vulva?
-
Hands or soft washcloth = yes (external only).
-
Loofahs/poufs = no on the genital area (bacteria + abrasion).
-
The vagina is self-cleaning—do not wash inside or douche.
-
If you notice strong new odor, unusual discharge, itching, pain, or bleeding, see a clinician.
