We all have to agree that some things are not taught in school and neither were we taught by our moms. She may have taught you how to shower but what do you do when you reach down there? Don’t feel ashamed if you are reading this, scroll down my sister. You definitely are doing the right honourable thing because you deserve to be clean and confident about yourself.
Every woman has their own unique scent down there and don’t worry if you have a sexual partner because probably they don’t mind about it that’s why they are still very much around! What you only need to do is to maintain cleanliness of that honey pot.
Here are the steps we recommend;
- Using a mild natural soap and warm water, lather up a sponge or face towel and wash the place. Don’t insert anything or clean inside the ‘pot’ .No. Just the area around it. Don’t use perfumed soap; they contain chemicals which may kill the important bacteria around that place and cause sensitivity
- Use your fingers to pull the labia away from the clitoris and gently wipe the skin on both sides with the bathing cloth or face towel
- Wash the vulva (outer part of your genitals) and also the opening.be careful not to insert anything in the opening, just splash generous amounts of clean water.
- Clean the perineum. This is the area between the cookie and the anus.
- Lastly wash your anal area. Keep your bathe clothe away from honey pot after washing the anus. This is to prevent the spreading of anal bacteria to the honey pot which may cause urinary tract infections. Always wipe the anus from front to back to avoid spreading germs to the valuable pot.
- Wash your cookie jar at least once per day. This is to ensure that the healthy bacteria are not destroyed completely. However, you may consider washing it the second time if you have slept with your partner so as to remain fresh.
- Drinks lots of water and natural yoghurt. You could even apply some yoghurt directly into the place. They help fight the yeast causing bacteria and keep the healthy ones.
- Remember to dry your private area by gently wiping with a clean towel.
If after observing all the above and you still experience itchiness, burning sensation, smelly discharge, pain when urinating or during intercourse, do not delay in going to see a gynaecologist.
