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

What’s the Safest Way to Freshen Up On the Go (Wipes vs Water)?
Water is safest when you can rinse. Between sinks, use alcohol-free, gentle wipes on the external vulva only, then switch to water ASAP. Avoid douching, harsh fragrance, and alcohol. Pat dry, change damp clothes quickly, and see a clinician if you notice strong odor, unusual discharge, or persistent irritation.

How Often Should I Wash My Vulva? Is Water Enough?
Once daily is enough for most people—external skin only—using warm water and clean hands. If you prefer a cleanser, choose a fragrance-free, pH-considerate wash and use it sparingly. After workouts, periods, or sex, rinse externally and pat dry. Never douche or wash inside the vagina.
