I think vaginal health is super important and I would like to know more about it. Do you have any tips for resources (books, podcasts etc.) that you would recommend?

    My gyn said we should actually put cream on our vagina if we shave it regularly. Just as we take care of other shaven areas on our body. When it comes to the vulva, she recommended to refrain from constant vaginal douching to not destroy the vaginal flora.Sorry, I don't have any resources to share.

    If your vaginal flora is out of balance I can recommend Vagisan, which you can purchase in pharmacies (at least where I live). I would also be interested in books in case anyone has to share any recommendations! Thanks!

    It is commonly unknown that washing your vulva is a very sensitive matter. Your vagina has a ph that can be upset by unsanitary liquids put inside your vagina or on the vulva. Using cleaning products can be harmful and cause bacterial infections. I would personally just use water but you could use ph specific products carefully to wash your vagina.
