Feminine Hygiene - Vagina Health & Smell
By Sacha Tarkovsky

It should be noted that both the smell of a vagina and its being infected are directly related to a woman’s lifestyle, her weight, and diet.

Some basic rules on Feminine Hygiene can both prevent infections and insure a sweet smelling vagina as well.

Hygiene

• Because infectious agents such as bacteria and yeasts are found in the intestine, after defecation a woman must wipe herself from front to back vaginal area first, rectum after.

A bidet or immediate wash of the anus is also advised, with a rinse of the vulva with warm water.

• Washing also the genital area often with a special ph balanced soap is also essential, and especially after each urination

• Vaginal irrigation is not necessary as it usually disturbs the acid environment, and can allow yeast, for example, to flourish.

• Women should discourage vaginal and anal intercourse alternation during the same session.
