The vagina is a very sensitive part of every woman’s body. The vagina is the muscular canal that connects the uterus to the outside world. Menstrual flow, babies and other discharges pass through it.

Cleaning your vulva should be part of your daily hygiene routine. Generally, warm water is all you need to adequately clean your vulva, but if you want to cleanse, moisturize or freshen up properly, you can go for vaginal washes (also known as feminine washes).
