Question
How do you keep your vagina clean?
Answer
The coolest thing in the world is that a vagina actually keeps itself clean. All a female needs to do is wash the area around her vagina, called a vulva with warm water and a gentle soap. The natural discharge keeps things cleaned out, so there is no reason, unless your doctor tells you to, to do anything else.
