Feminine Washes? Good or Bad? - The Truth Behind These products


Hi ladies,
This is a really important topic that so many of us get dragged into, because of media and what our peers say.  While in class last Saturday, this topic came up, and the ladies who used it, became very defensive when I told them the truth behind it, saying things like ‘so then why did they make it?’ or ‘it makes me feel really clean’ or ‘well fine, that’s you.’

I was really shocked at how people who have absolutely no history or background to defend what they are saying, can be so defensive! 
Why haven't people yet realized that 95% of the media is simply just business, and does not really care about what happens when they sell you a product.  They sell you a product, you use it for a few years, then get ill, have to pay immensely high doctor bills, go to the pharmacy for medicine to fix the problem that they started, and then continue to use the same product, because you have no idea what caused it in the first place…. sigh, It’s just keeps going in a cycle, that keeps repeating itself…we have to do our own research before we are brainwashed.

This led me to seeing the importance of sharing this with you, my fellow ladies.

Our bodies on the whole were made to fight bacteria.  This explains why when a baby gets vaccinated; they are actually given the virus, so that their body can begin the process of learning to fight off viruses, bacteria, etc.

The vagina is in itself a self-cleaning organ, containing good and bad bacteria.  Logically one may think that because of the functions of the vagina, it contains a ton of bad bacteria, which causes itching and odor. 
So, when we see a feminine wash on the market, and we read the label, we immediately think that this would solve all problems for keeping our nether regions feeling fresh and clean.
Feminine washes come pre-mixed, as a combination of vinegar, water, baking soda, and iodine, and their main and only intent is to kill bacteria that causes odor.  A feminine wash cannot determine the difference between the good and bad bacteria and just as often as you use it, it gets rid of all bacteria, whether good or bad. 
This is a major disadvantage because your body needs the good bacteria.

An adequate amount of good bacteria (normal vaginal flora) is needed to maintain the acidity of the vagina, which is what maintains your ability to fight and prevent infections in that region. 
The use of feminine washes or any wash or cream designed to kill vaginal bacteria-- can change the acidity of your vagina, and can make you more vulnerable to infections. 

So, although you may think that you are washing infection-causing bacteria out of the vagina, you are actually also getting rid of the good bacteria that keeps the area free from infections. 
The balance of good and bad bacteria maintains the acidity of the vagina and this balance prevents the overgrowth of the bad bacteria.
The vagina should be washed, preferably with a moisturizing unscented soap. (see how to make your own liquid soap here)
You may ask, why unscented?  Because added scents of any type are usually made of phthalates, which have been shown to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and an endocrine disruptor (interferes with your hormones).

I have heard that some women even use the douching process to clean their vaginal canal. Unknowingly to them, this can actually cause infections to spread. While cleaning or rinsing, the force of the water can sometimes move the bacteria further up the vaginal canal and into the uterus. The force of the water from douching can move bacteria into the uterus.

If you happen to have a bad vaginal odor, this most likely means one of two things; 
Either you are not washing regularly enough, or you have a yeast or bacterial infection.  
Vaginal infections must be handled by a gynecologist!  If you already have a vaginal infection, it is possible that using a feminine wash can cause the spread of the infection to other areas in the canal.

Please do not think that vaginal infections only come from sleeping around!  You can simply obtain a vaginal infection from not washing off with soap and water after sex, even if you have been having sex with one man since forever.

If you're simply looking to maintain everyday cleanliness and prevention of infections, and have no symptoms, your healthiest bet is simply mild soap and water. It's convenient, affordable, and safe enough to use everyday.

Hope you take this information seriously ladies. I didn't always know, until my gynecologist had a serious talk with me.  So instead of paying over $300 for a doctor visit, here is the information for FREE :)

Do have a great day.
Love Candy xoxo

  3. Great article Candice. It seems our bodies have good and bad bacteria everywhere. I've recently learned from a doctor that anti-biotics kill the good bacteria in our stomachs, and yogurt helps to restore the PH BALANCE of the stomach. The doctor is from India and also shared with me that many health conscious people in his country have yogurt with every meal and they even make it from home. Yogurt also helps those who suffer with acid reflux

  20. Most of this article was copied and pasted from another site. It's the same word for word but is missing the most vital information. Read elsewhere.

  21. Although some of the good bacteria gets eliminated... feminine washes try eliminating the risk of UTI's and infections in the intimate area, which is a much greater concern if you ask me. Otherwise, great article and outstanding points regarding these washes.

  26. I developed hives from using Vagisil Intimate Body Was. It is the only thing I have changed in my daily routine. I never believed in douches etc and wish I had never used the Vagisil. Hives are no fun and difficult to get rid of. There is no sure cure as yet. So, ladies be careful using this stuff and let the body take care of itself especially in the intimate areas.

  27. I have had hives for 5 months. The result of using Vagisil Intimate Wash!! Like other women I though it would make me fresher in that area. I cannot get rid of the hives and have had to stay home from time to time because of swelling of my lips, eyes and the disfigurement caused. Is there any recourse? I too never believed in douches and had never used one. Please if anyone knows a cure for hives get in touch with me.
