Ty so much. I've been telling my OB Dr that I have a std because I never had oder or itchy. They keep telling me I have nothing. But sensitivity. Gave me a cream, and years later. Same problem. I'm going to talk to my OB Dr. About VD or how do I say it again?
@@carolspivey7199 Thank you so much! Because I've haven't been with anyone in a long time. So I was very confused 🤔. Ty because I think if you was my nurse, I would be better by now, and you taught us how to prevent it from coming back. I do drink a lot less coffee. And try to stay away from toxins, and drink water. Now I know not to be so clean. The vagina cleans out it self. So now I'm just using water inside and out. However. I think I need an antibiotic first. 🦋🌹😊
I was 13 when my foster mom taught me how to properly clean my crotch. She showed me how to squat or prop up a leg on the tub and lower myself down a bit to open my legs. Then use a fesh washcloth with a little mild soap and water to gently wipe my mons and between my vulva creases, then rinse thoroughly. Never douche either! Wash twice a day, morning when I wake up and before bed at night, and on hot days, sprinkle a little cornstarch baby powder in the panties to reduce moisture from sweat. Also change into fresh dry panties as many times as you need to in a day to keep dampness out of your crotch and prevent infection. I also learned to replace my stash of cotton panties every year and buy at least 20 pairs. Hope this helps anyone seeing this!
Diet is very important spicy food and excessive alchohol is a no no.Drinking Lots of water flushes out the vagina ..Also lemon and water or aloe is magical it strips vagina of impurities yet it keeps the vaginal walls moist as it cuts down odor, continually and regularly drinking aloe or a bit apple cider vinegar eliminates odor completely..soaking in the tub draws impurities out which is very rewarding along with a healthy sensible diet helps tremendously..Natural products with no added perfumes are safer and healhtier. Hope this inFo will be helpful...
Good job explaining this to women who may not know. I'm a nurse and listened to see what you had to offer. I knew most of this from being old, but also from training and some good gyn doctors over the years. I think we have been conditioned to artificial fragrances over the years in the form of douches, sprays, soaps, air fresheners, etc. We need to learn that we all have A SMELL unique to our own bodies and unless it's really foul, we should learn to love it. I'm of the opinion if it smells like something rotting and maybe looks bad or stuff is oozing somewhere, you may be infected with something. See a Doctor. Thanks for your video. I hope the women watching learn from this.
For you: Repent and be baptize in the name of Yeshua Almighty Masiah, time is running out, Yeshua love you and He don't won't you to parish, repent and turn to Yeshua Amen.😇
Oh my...I thought I smelled bad especially during my menstruation, my doctor was a woman and said exactly what you said...our vagina cleans itself naturally...😉 good advice!!
I was lucky to have a Doctor who was trained in the US but of Asian descent. So she took an organic approach..She also did a total diabetes workup. And guess what? The sugar content in my body, which was wacko.... was causing infections, and odor. Once I started on a lower keto diet, and paid more attention to what I ate, made some lifestyle changes? My blood sugar came back into line. And my 'infections' cleared.
Always pay attention to any scent changes in your body. My regular ob/gyn thought I only had the BV she talks about. Was concerned and went for a second opion only to find out the BV smell was actually the beginning stages of cervical cancer.
Cancer makes a body have different smells that are not always pleasant that's one of the reasons they are training dogs to find cancer in sick people. Also a doctor one time told me the worst thing a patient can do is take a shower or bath before the visit or brush their teeth with toothpaste and wear deodorant. Reason being the different smells from the body tell the doctor what is wrong bfore blood tests a lot of times.
Sooooo glad I came across this page, I soooo wish some of them “know it all uneducated females on Facebook and Instagram that swear you get BV from men and that you’re nasty” come across this page! I’m a new subscriber….. I got BV after a miscarriage and have had a reoccurring issue but I am glad I came across this page
I'm sorry for your loss x. I've heard lots of ignorant comments from men like , eww they don't have good hygiene. It's got nothing to do w hygiene. Lots of women can overwash their vaginas which can create an imbalance which made lead to some more serious issues
So the folds where the vaginal lips are clean themselves? Yeah I’m not going to put soap inside my vagina but the folds need to be cleaned some way and not cleaning that area doesn’t seem correct. I’ve had no issues with cleaning the folds...
I hate how there's memes out there shaming women's vaginas for smelling fishy. the littlest thing can trigger bv or thrush. stop shaming women's genitals. we all do our best. not saying this channel does. great channel
The BEST thing I ever bought for my bathroom routine was a small bidet unit that is easily installed under the toilet seat. I feel and smell clean ALL of the time. There is really no need for toilet paper except to dry off. Yes the water is cool, but it feels therapeutic and soothing after a bout with your man. I wish to GOD that I would have had one of these after I gave birth to my 9 pound son. 😉 They aren’t expensive compared to how much we spend on toilet paper and wipes every year. I found mine on Amazon and I think it was about $150. So Worth It!!!
My mom has one of those, but I haven't ever used it because of toilet contents possibly splashing on the opening where the water sprays out. I don't know maybe it dose’not, but just in case?
I have a third of a cup of vanilla Greek yogurt every day. I have absolutely no more problems since I started doing that. It's great! I stay hydrated. Drink more water!
I’ve stopped wearing underwear for years (except during menstruation). I also wear a lot of dresses and wax every 8 weeks. This allows fresh air to circulate! I only use water in the vaginal area. I invested in a bidet and it has a fan to dry yourself off. No toilet paper needed. No wonder BV is a problem when we keep our vagina all trapped, moist and in darkness all day.
I agree with you! I stopped wearing undies in Junior high, because of being a beach kid who was in the ocean all the time, no wet bottoms for me. I have a very healthy vagina, if I get a discharge it means something is off. I address it with plain yogurt, plain water, and have used boric acid to get back to my normal ph.
Thank you for this, I did a small experiment because I've been using dove no scent soap and some days im good and other days the odor comes..I stopped using soap for about a couple of days and guess what ...no smell lol go figure.. I just rinse my area with hot water until its clean
Also polyester blend underwear. Needs to be 100% cotton. Too tight pants or not breathable like polyester leggings. Exercise or after swim then stays in wet clothes too long.
She is spot on ! Its hard to hear for some after what we've been taught. In the 70's we had scented and color toliet paper plus Calgon bath powder. UTI went through the roof. We learned then that plain on water is all we needed, as our vagina is self cleaning. These bath / feminine products sold are all for profit. Drink enough water, yes if you have pubic hair you can clean with non fragrance soap and eat yogart.
I agree with some of what you’re saying but, any female would have an odor during her period or after when the period is going off and the first couple days of discharge. Women can have an odor urinating during the course of the day and going hours of not having a shower. We as female need to wash the out side of the vagina with some kind of soap or feminine wash but not to put anything inside the vagina to wash it. Having an odor doesn’t mean you have vaginosis, it means all day of sweating and not changing under wear and panty liner, urinating, discharge, having sexual intercourse and period days. Anybody not having a shower for hours wearing the same under will be smelly in the private area. I remember watching dr oz on Oprah show and he said the vagina is like a self cleaning oven it cleans itself but I know as women whatever comes out we have to wash the outside of the vagina to make it smell fresh.
I actually don't have an odor with every period...that's how I can usually tell when I'm off. The right Pads trap everything in it. If I can smell anything, I'm off. If I can't smell anything, I'm good. I had recurrent BV for years and the only thing that worked was the boric acid suppositories. You don't need soap, water does work just fine. And instead of using toilet paper, I used the all natural wet wipes with no scent. It took years for me to find a solution but what she said is the truth. Plus she's a medical professional so I would trust her opinion over anyone else's. I'm just commenting because I know what she's saying firsthand from experience.
I agree…the outside and in between those folds and under the hood needs to be cleansed with some form of mild soap. It should never be used inside though.
Yes exactly I especially have to address odor from frequent urination and excessive sweating down there a gentle cleanse on outside and changing underwear and panty liners throughout day really helps me thanks for sharing
A natural antibiotic is one clove of garlic that you can chop up with out chewing and swallow as a pill My auntie was a registered nurse but also used natural methods as well for people who did not like prescribed medications👍🏽
I am 52 years old and I have never heard explained that well thank you very much and I'm one of those that always want to keep clean because in the past I have had problems with UTIs and yeast infections
Only time I ever have issues like this is if I eat alot of foods with sugar. Being on keto and eating keto friendly sweets I don't have this problem anymore but when I did it sucked. I would shower twice a day. And I know that's normal for some of yall for me ....no.
I learned that sugary drinks and foods will cause an unpleasant scene 😏. Drinking more water and cutting out meat and dairy does my skin and body good.
Thank you. Like my Mom taught me, I used pre made douche 40 years ago on a regular basis. Once married, I developed a horrible smell with green discharge. I was even embarrassed to go the doctor. When I finally did, he gave me a vag suppository that looked like a yellow light bulb and ordered me to stop douching. No worries now for 40 years. Ty for educating women about this topic.
I use Dove and / or baby wash, and I never have a problem. Why is that? 2 of my my gynecologists said I was "very clean." Now I am worried that I am doing the wrong thing, and one I may regret the baby wash or Dove, later on. I do use witch hazel after a potty visit.
@@M2J89 Are you an Adult? Then, why do you call a visit to loo, do not call it"A 'POTTY' Visit. ! Kindy-Talk. Further, Witch Hazel is natural Herb, AN ASTRINGENT, that school kids put on their pimply Faces., to wipe the facial grease/oils off. Dry up the Spots. Just go to your Local Supermarket, & by some plain, white Yogurt(we have Greek Farmers Union, in Australia), just white, plain And take a spoonfull of that, orally every day. That will help rectify the normal PH of your body. And, wipe down your Pubic Area with same, daily. Better-still, get a 10 ml syringe from local chemist, AND just squirt 10 mls of plain yogurt, into your Vagina, daily, it will kill off any fungus, or other bad germs that are not supposed to be there. All natural, but a lot Cheaper than that Japanese liquid, in a microscopic plastic bottle, with red writing on it, 'With or without Sugar'. I cannot think of it's name, here & now.
I just watched a model on diary of a ceo who had her legs amputated from TSS. Toxic shock syndrome. ‼️DO NOT USE TAMPONS, especially if your flow is light. Women don’t realize how FAST they can get a bacterial blood infection. Many women have died as a result. Sorry I can’t remember her name but she was on for an hour and the host was extremely sensitive and caring. Please look for it. EVERY woman needs to hear it. TSS feels like a flu at first or you become disoriented. It’s a form of SEPSIS and is DEADLY‼️ ‼️ Again the show is diary of a ceo and hosts name is Steven. PLEASE WATCH IT‼️
Thank you so much I’m young 16 and I always get so self conscious about how I smell down there. Like I don’t do anything sexual at all but I could still smell something! And when I sit next to people at school I always get so scared and then I start sweating and stuff! Especially during band because I have to sit with my legs spread out to prop the French horn on my thigh. I don’t even use soap down there except like once a month or something right after my period. When it’s at its worst I swear even more than I usually do because my anxiety just gets worse and then I start smelling body odor on top of it! I really appreciate this video thank you so much! I thought I was just a disgusting person and I feel a lot better about it now that I know what it is!
It could also depending what you eat because during period my mom always says and its true never to eat eggs fish or anything that give you stench i never eat fish or sushi i dont smell even when i get bv or yeast infection or in general i smell normal the way its suppose to smell i only wash with water not the inside just the outside , it helps me alot i also Dont drink any hard drinks Only keep it with water as hell i also know fruits and sour items help too I eat cucumbers everyday Im honestly good Maybe try that see if it improves also try to change undies every day Instead of wearing same one for two days only keep it cotton honestly i noticed lace and Satin gives off strong smell not worth it
Eat pineapple and drink lots of water. Bathe in the morning and evening every night Use a blow dryer to dry yourself after showering. Low or cool setting.
Oh no you're not. You're perfectly imperfect! I think a lot of ppl have anxiety about their vaginal smell (me included). I get hot easily and then I feel like my vaginal smell intensifies. It's great to educate ourselves and to learn to accept women's bodies just the way they are!
Wow,so informative!Cause lord I have been embarrassed from being on my period at work and it was a women who called me out in front of other women and I’m not a dirty women!It was a combination of being on my period and sweating at work!I never forgot how she made me feel!So I did research and now I maintain a healthier down their even on my period days!Im over 40 and I learned a lot today!😢Thank you
Yeah I agree! I started taking the Doctor's Recipe "women's probiotics with prebiotics and cranberry" which had 50 billion CFU for two capsules. I experimented with that and it was a really good decision. It made my natural smell sweet, buttery, and tangy, like fermented fruit. I started eating more yogurt and stopped wearing underwear. If I didn't want to smell like something I wouldn't eat it. I started eating more avocados, pineapples, mangos, almonds and cashews, etc. Also started taking Sea Buckthorn oil which really helped with lubrication. I never have those issues anymore!! It's one of the best decisions I've made.
I totally understand what you saying but also people don’t explain to use it on the outside the (vulva) yes you can use sensitive soap on your vulva not in the insides . And my obgyn explains to me you can use it on the outside not inside the hole. But we can not just smell perfectly fine with out using soap on the vulva !
@@redcandi01You most definitely have a odor maybe it's just not strong enough for you to say it stinks. Maybe you like the smell, if you dont properly clean your vulva with warm water and some kind of soap you will smell.
I haven't been able to use soap for 16 years. I either use no scent feminine wash or just hot water. I only wear cotton panties with panty liners. I drinks lots of water, eat fruit, yogurts and I swear by apple cider vinegar with the mother and lemon in my water. Feminine wash doesn't cause discharge like soap did for me.
Wow what valuable information, me as a guy always wondered about the soap thing. What’s strange is one day a ex told me her newborn’s kitty smelled like fish, and I didn’t know what to tell her, I do now 25 years later..Thanks for answering my mind🤔 My heart goes out to all females 💞
Why do i smell like fish when i eat fish? Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is an uncommon condition that causes an unpleasant, fishy smell. It's also called "fish odour syndrome". Sometimes it's caused by faulty genes that a person inherits from their parents, but this isn't always the case. Body odor after eating seafood is typically related to a metabolic disorder. People with trimethylaminuria develop a fishy odor after consuming seafood because they can't break down the chemical trimethylamine that's naturally found in seafood. The odor will appear within a few hours
Drink lots and lots of water . Pineapple makes it sweet and oregano in tea makes it smell sweet. Do not put any inside you can put oregano in your bath too. Oregano gets rid of body odors maybe Change pad more often like every half an hour and talk a bottle in toilet for it over Vijaya when on the toilet that will freshen you up before you put pads back on.

Thankyou so much, happens to me every time. So it’s likely not always BV. After years of rashes and pain,which I thought must be endless yeast infections, l finally saw a really kind gynaecologist who explained I have lichen sclerosis. It’s a skin condition and it’s MISERABLE. What do you use for this fishy condition.?? Every women needs to know about lichen sclerosis but very few do and suffer until they go bananas.
Consuming quality probiotics are a great way to prevent vagina odor as well. These healthy bacteria are notorious for preventing yeast build-up in the urinary tract and reproductive organs.
@@LUX_8 No, I'm not either. I've always had a deep interest and desire to learn all I can about health, fitness, human anatomy, chemistry, and biology, in general. This is especially true concerning the female genitalia and body. Sadly, most men on the planet don't care to even learn, but "to each, his own", as is said.
Thank you. Very direct supportive video. We assume that women know about the female area and so there is no need to teach. Some women feel uncomfortable asking questions.
I've never used a douche, & never used products down there. My mum taught me from a young age that you don't do those things. Unfortunately a lot of women dont, and won't have been taught about feminine hygiene and care. I do find it shocking the amount of women who don't know their own bodies, & don't know how to take care of their parts. Thank you for this video. I hope it helps other women. X.
A yeast infection could be a reason for a change in discharge & a (different) smell. Discharge is normal , every woman has it, & it can change depending on the time of month, etc. It can even get a different smell of you use certain products, never use anything that can mess with the ph balance which can cause bv. The comment above saying boric acid is right, it's a supplement you can take it f you have a ph imbalance. But it can have side effects, it's not for everyone. Food can change it too, If the smell is very unpleasant & it looks different (colour, texture etc) you should go to your GP, or obgyn. We have good bacteria in our discharge & certain things can 'kill' it all & cause yeast to grow. X.
I'm not a woman but I'm the man that loves a woman that takes care of her "Golden Purse". And I'd I could pass this important and valuable message on to my females ,its a plus..trust
Thank you so much for such an informative and well executed presentation. As a male, I too have learned so much today and have always had a curiosity as to the intricacies and functionality of the female anatomy, especially all things connected to the reproductive system and the maintenance thereof. So, with that, thanks again, continued success in all of your endeavors and I am happy to have become a subscriber. Ciao 💐 Nurse Bae ! 😊👍🏽☮️
I'm 67 yrs young. I've used suppositories, white vinegar, feminine soaps, wet wipes ,Feminine sprays and feminine powders. Some of these are helpful in keeping you fresh and cut down on moisture but the one thing I find that definitely keeps odor in check is something that mothers have used but over looked. The Bidet bottle or peri bottle made from plastic. If you had a baby and got stitches then you know what I'm talking about. This is a game changer ladies. Sometimes I put a very small amount of white vinegar in my bottle for extra freshness. Since I started using this peri bottle I don't have any issues with bad odor or vaginitis. Wish I had stuck with this many moons ago.
@@zoemange6768 as a former nurse, I believe she was saying she uses a peri bottle with water to cleanse and sometimes adds a little vinegar to the water. This is a good idea since most bacteria causing odor comes from the outside, normal discharge or any urine/etc is washed away with every bathroom trip using this method.
Thank you. We will have women walking around smelling. Wearing masks will be necessary. We should not use soap inside the vagina. The tissue in the vagina is sensitive. Women better wipe around that area. Who are they kidding?
@@NurseMidwifeBAEI have yeast infections. I have doubled with yogurt per doctor's suggestion. But sometimes I will get otc meds for a yeast infection.
Thank you for such an educational video! A ob -gyn told me years ago that the vagina is like a "self cleaning oven". I had a Bartholon cyst the size of a baseball in my vaginal wall . I have never used another douche or feminine spray, but I did not know that soap was not healthy. So thanks again for a valuable lesson.
I knew all this because I kept getting a yeast infection so my gynocolgist asked me what I used.I told him and he told me take all fragrance out.The purer the better.
I know you’re a nurse, but my Question is why don’t our doctors 🥼 tell us this? 🤷🏽♀️ Because I’ve never had a doctor 👩🏽⚕️ tell me not to use soap 🧼 on my Vagina ! Thank you for sharing!
Yogurt ( Greek ) helps tremendously, whether eaten or used as a “ douche “, and yes I said douche. ☺️ I am 67 and have been blessed to have never suffered from this condition. When I first started my period, my physician just told me to use vinegar/water douche after my period if there is any odor or if I just want to feel clean and fresh. Thank you for the info..
I do not know how these young women think, but we must keep that area clean. Thank you for clarifying. We will have women walking around smelling. Wearing masks will be necessary. We should not use soap inside the vagina. The tissue in the vagina is sensitive. Women better wipe around that area. Who are they kidding?
Thank you for sharing. I've had it twice now. Beating my brain how I got it. My doctor looked at me like I was a dirty person.. They never explained to me what caused it. They said no more baths.. I'm so happy I ran into this page.
A good diet is better for a lot of things , including healthier skin , but most people don’t want that. Most people want convenience. They want to eat fast food and then rely on some product from the pharmaceutical industry to take care of their problem.
This is very good information. Probiotics is good in avoiding bacterial infections and to much douching is not good either because you're washing away your natural secretions that fight off germs. The vagina is like a open wound... easily to get infection.
@@suefata2033 thank you Sue, I appreciate and respect your input. As a solo dad of two girls I cannot offer insight to which my daughter/s share. Hence having access to this media platform is invaluable. Blessings be upon you and whanau
Yooo i took this advice because my mom and grandma kept telling me to use soap down there and i kept getting this fishy smell I stopped using soap and like after 3 days the smell is all gone 🤩🤩🤩
Been telling my friends this for years.. wash downstairs with plain water. And go knickerless. You will never have any odours & don't have sex if your not in a relationship.
Thank you for this upload Sis 🙏 ❤ Much love coming from a dude My mother taught us as young boys what to look out for she always told us whenever that time comes all a women needs is just water and clean underwear. Long story short I had to stop talking to a girl because whenever that time would come up the small was just horrible and we both want to Doctors to make sure. All them chemicals in them brands is causing our Sisters to get cancers etc Thank you for your post once again
I think stress sweat is a nightmare for me🤦🏽♀️ the more fight or flight(anxiety /adrenaline) the worse it is and started getting that Lumi deodorant for your creases, and it helps but even that can have you getting boils or rashes if not careful with shaving and usage. This is part of the reason why I don’t go to the gym.
I was told the same many years ago....I now use "All Free & Clear", it does not have any added fragrances, which are toxins in and of themselves. There are other brands of Free & Clear, however most are made in a factory that uses perfumed/fragranced ingredients, yet 'All' brand has been made w/o those toxins from the beginning.
You can also use Dreft, it's mostly made for baby clothes. No fragrance or harsh chemicals. Also, save those nylon panties for special occasions. They make you sweat down there. use more cotton panties for everyday use.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I STOPPED USING SOAP FOR QUITE SOMETIME BECAUSE I NOTICED I WAS ITCHING OR FEELING "DIFFERENT!" ONCE I STOPPED USING SOAPS AND SCENTED ANYTHING, I'M FINE...
The commercials that are on TV (Lume) are disgusting and degrading to women. Women don't need these expensive things. Wash the perineal area with mild soap and water, rinse and dry. The vagina does not need to be washed.
#notificationgang Ps. I know BV is not an STD but the only time my lovely smelling kitty kat starting STINKING LIKE day old cat food in the Florida summer was after sex with a new guy. Girl, it was sooooo bad I apologized to my lifelong gyno before I would let him check me.
Strangest thing with me. I would always develop BV with only one of my ex boyfriend. Would get treated, have intercourse once cleared and then come back again. Every single time… only with 1 man. Other ex boyfriends not once did I have BV. Don’t understand that but I say our chemistry did not work together.
@@pattywacker6340 Exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately that would also mean he didn't bother to wash after cheating. That's an even more disgusting thought😱.
If y'all listened to the video, the doc said men can't pass BV, only if two women have sex with eachother. 🤦♀️. THAT would be from an STD HE PASSED on to YOU from ANOTHER WOMAN. THATS REALLY dangerous. THAT, should be checked out.
Shame on the brands trying to “help” us with their products! Just more cash grabs from women who just need help. Very informative video! I’ve been extremely self conscious of how I smell lately, this was helpful and simply explained
Im still a kid but im going thru puberty now and this relieved me cause i thought it was infection or something they cal STI or yeast thingies 😭 tysssm!!! 😊😊
@@bulletproofguy5112 Well heres one for You. I hope your circumcised. Nothing stinkier than a Man who won't pull his skin back and clean his junk. Dead give away that he's dirty or cheating. It's Not just women. at least we girls have legitimate reasons for having an odor.
Awesome info. Thank you for helping me to understand so much My question is , does any of this pertain to a Postmenopausal 70 year old lady who is also a newlywed and still enjoys intimacy. I have found the product Monistat boric acid genital wash is very helpful for irritation and itching, but of course like anything else it’s temporary. I find just wiping down there after urinating with cold water dampened toilet paper helps very much. I have always been a Vagisil Oder control and PH Balance liquid soap user , but now it sounds like those two products are actually exaggerating the irritation after a day or 2. UGHhhhhhh , Momma never explained these Senior moments to me. 😂. Love listening to your advice and Thank You. God Bless and keep you safe❤🙏🏼
Thank you Nurse Midwife Bae and explaining BV. I always wondered about the fishy smell. I stopped eating tuna because I thought it was because of that. This discussion was very informative and helpful.
For you: Repent and be baptize in the name of Yeshua Almighty Masiah, time is running out, Yeshua love you and He don't won't you to parish, repent and turn to Yeshua Amen.😇
Our bodies can also smell bad from smoking, eating animal products, and drinking alcohol. Instead of just using bathroom tissue after using the toilet- squirt some water on yourself ( back first, then front ).. then use toilet tissue to dry yourself ( first front then back ). You can save an empty shampoo bottle for this purpose.
OMG...I LOVE U!! I'm literally so grateful that there is finally a professional voice putting this info out there for young women or just women period...I feel very blessed to have had an informed mother, she passed in 2012, but she instilled this, as well as a plethora of knowledge over many subjects, well within me!! She was such a beautiful woman and it's awesome to finally hear her teachings to me throughout my life, not just professionally confirmed but BROADCASTED on a major social media platform. I cannot tell you the number of times that my peers, mostly females but men, too, at times have looked at me like I was just gross and completely batty when I would try to tell them that the vagina is, in my mother's words, "a self cleaning oven." ☺️💯💜 Well, I'm definitely #GANGGANG...YOU ARE AWESOME!! THANKS AGAIN LOVELY LADY!
Can you make another video. I keep having and off smell I’m not sexually active and kind of embarrassed to talk to my moma about it. I use dove soap for sensitive skin not inside just around
try changing your diet if you can ( alkaline vegan just look up dr.sebi food guide ) , drink 1 gallon of spring water daily & maybe switch to holistic lifestyle? this girl did that and she said she doesn’t stink not even after a long day of work followed up w seggs . she uses dr.bronners baby soap to wash up with & key limes under her arms ( OH WEARING PANTIES CAN ALSO GIVE YOU A STINCH it’s a hole it has to breathe )
also when you pee you can take a water bottle with you to pour it on there because even when you wipe it could be access pee ( btw I just came here to educate myself I’m not a hypocrite)
*I'm 39 and I feel stuck on stupid after hearing all this lol I been cleaning my vagina with soap all my life and I'm so confused more then ever* 🤦♀️🤣
One "small" thing: a lot of people say vagina when they actually mean vulva (for those who don't know, you can't see your vagina, the thing you see from outside - the flaps etc - is a vulva), I think this is an important thing that needs to be clarified in every such video because you never know who is watching and if they know the difference.
I use the word Vagina because so many women don’t recognize the word “vulva”. As a clinician you have to meet your patients where they are and explain things in a way they understand, that’s why I use vagina vs vulva, so often in the video. But I agree with you.
@@NurseMidwifeBAEYou have to explain the difference though. First of all you need to clean the vulva with warm water and either a good feminine wash or a mild soap to get it clean. The vagina is what is self cleaning and doesn't need anything besides maybe a little water if you want.
You are absolutely adorable ! I learn something from you in 86 years of my life ! Thank you I wash my “ flora and fauna “ with soap,crazy old women ! Thank you dear !
Sis....THANK YOU! The Boric acid suppositories WORKED!!! I began inserting morning and before bed and in two days my BV was GONE! As my hardheaded self has had to learn...I continued inserting for 7 days and odor is gone. I also have found that using local spring water is better than tap water because spring shouldn't have any chemicals added. Sometimes I wish I could just sew it up!!! Geesh...been battling BV for 20 years now!!! Stuff be embarrassing.. men think you're dirty...and we aren't. We just have trippy coochies!😇
@@tanyadoeshairllc That's good. It can depend on sex, if you're taking medications, douching, a tampon in too long, to name a few instances. Too tight clothing that doesn't allow airflow can also cause an increase in bacteria in the vagina.
@@tanyadoeshairllc sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint but a healthy diet as organic as possible, drinking more water and regular exercise has worked wonders for me.
What about post- menopausal women? If you are not sexually active, maintain excellent hygiene and yet have issues with odor? I realize that hormonal changes can cause issues - I am on HRT and notice that even my sweat has a different odor All of my clinical tests are normal - blood, urine, and I am not diabetic.
Men are sooooo critical. Why don't they realize that their d**k and ba**s also smell like Clorox bleach. It's not only women who have personal odors, men have them too; but I suppose that men think that we should be so grateful for that pipe that we should be grateful to inhale that Clorox!!!!!
I'm addicted to changing my panty liner every time I pee or poo and I use 3 liners lined up front to back per change so it's co$ting me. Mentally I feel fresh this method.
Hopefully you’re not using panty liners daily. They should not be used in that way because the backing of liners is plastic, which can create a moist environment. My friend used to do this and had an awfully fishy vagina.
Harsh soaps always burned my peri area! 😮 I stopped using them with sulfates in them and switched to a baby body wash with NO CHEMICALS. BIG DIFFERENCE ! No more stinging there !
Here's the Boric Acid supplement I recommend: ph-D Feminine Health Boric Acid Vaginal suppositories - go.magik.ly/ml/1vc4z/
These are wonderful! I always have a bottle in my bathroom.
Ty so much. I've been telling my OB Dr that I have a std because I never had oder or itchy. They keep telling me I have nothing. But sensitivity. Gave me a cream, and years later. Same problem. I'm going to talk to my OB Dr. About VD or how do I say it again?

@@carolspivey7199 Thank you so much! Because I've haven't been with anyone in a long time. So I was very confused 🤔. Ty because I think if you was my nurse, I would be better by now, and you taught us how to prevent it from coming back. I do drink a lot less coffee. And try to stay away from toxins, and drink water. Now I know not to be so clean. The vagina cleans out it self. So now I'm just using water inside and out. However. I think I need an antibiotic first. 🦋🌹😊
I use boric as well I’m very clean comes when I have sex with hubby I hate so uncomfortable
I was 13 when my foster mom taught me how to properly clean my crotch. She showed me how to squat or prop up a leg on the tub and lower myself down a bit to open my legs. Then use a fesh washcloth with a little mild soap and water to gently wipe my mons and between my vulva creases, then rinse thoroughly. Never douche either! Wash twice a day, morning when I wake up and before bed at night, and on hot days, sprinkle a little cornstarch baby powder in the panties to reduce moisture from sweat. Also change into fresh dry panties as many times as you need to in a day to keep dampness out of your crotch and prevent infection. I also learned to replace my stash of cotton panties every year and buy at least 20 pairs. Hope this helps anyone seeing this!
I believe that wetness is the biggest culprit. Drying properly will help us avoid most issues.
Baby powder causes cancer. Wash your boxers and put arm and hammer on your feet 🧌

Using cornstarch/baby powder is extremely dangerous and outdated. Please ladies, really do your research and get to know your body.
Stay away from powders
I was TODAY years old when I learned this information that us females should have been taught FROM THE BEGINNING! Thank you so much
I have been washing my private area with Aveeno bar soap. I never had an issue. Washing with just water does not do the job. 😊
Thank you it doesn't do the job water alone down there come on
Oh I agree Plus what about your bowl area going back to the vagina like bacteria traveling giving a person a UTI ?❤
I tried the water only thing after reading Dr. Jackie's book. Didn't work for me either. Dove or feminine wash typically do the job.
Yes Ma'am.@@COJAZZ3
Wash that hair regularly keep fresh panties
If you are worried about a bad smell, its always a good idea to ask your doctor to test for any other infections going on too 😊
Diet is very important spicy food and excessive alchohol is a no no.Drinking Lots of water flushes out the vagina ..Also lemon and water or aloe is magical it strips vagina of impurities yet it keeps the vaginal walls moist as it cuts down odor, continually and regularly drinking aloe or a bit apple cider vinegar eliminates odor completely..soaking in the tub draws impurities out which is very rewarding along with a healthy sensible diet helps tremendously..Natural products with no added perfumes are safer and healhtier. Hope this inFo will be helpful...
Eating apples regularly works very well...in addition to abstaining from excessive sugar intake. A wholesome plant-based diet works best.
I agree! I’ve upped my Apple intake and I can tell a huge difference.
Good job explaining this to women who may not know. I'm a nurse and listened to see what you had to offer. I knew most of this from being old, but also from training and some good gyn doctors over the years. I think we have been conditioned to artificial fragrances over the years in the form of douches, sprays, soaps, air fresheners, etc. We need to learn that we all have A SMELL unique to our own bodies and unless it's really foul, we should learn to love it. I'm of the opinion if it smells like something rotting and maybe looks bad or stuff is oozing somewhere, you may be infected with something. See a Doctor. Thanks for your video. I hope the women watching learn from this.
Using boric acid is super good
How can I explain this to someone without hurting their feelings?
@@MrRock0002 depends what you’re trying to explain…
Yes! I learned this because I was also conditioned to that concept. I started learning more when becoming a nurse myself. It’s very interesting.

Thank you for this video. Many women are afraid to ask questions regarding their own body. You gave it “real”!
'Soap on the outside,water on the inside ' was what I was taught. And to wear cotton panties.
Yep!!😊
Yep. Me too

I was taught to use soap on the outside and good loose cotton panties and not tight clothes and keep your self clean

@@ginniejohnson4535 yep, tight clothes is how you can get trichomonas which causes yeast infections.
I was lucky to have a Doctor who was trained in the US but of Asian descent. So she took an organic approach..She also did a total diabetes workup. And guess what? The sugar content in my body, which was wacko.... was causing infections, and odor. Once I started on a lower keto diet, and paid more attention to what I ate, made some lifestyle changes? My blood sugar came back into line. And my 'infections' cleared.
Always pay attention to any scent changes in your body. My regular ob/gyn thought I only had the BV she talks about. Was concerned and went for a second opion only to find out the BV smell was actually the beginning stages of cervical cancer.
Does anyone else agree with the information about the beginning of cancer?
I would like to know more!
Cancer makes a body have different smells that are not always pleasant that's one of the reasons they are training dogs to find cancer in sick people. Also a doctor one time told me the worst thing a patient can do is take a shower or bath before the visit or brush their teeth with toothpaste and wear deodorant. Reason being the different smells from the body tell the doctor what is wrong bfore blood tests a lot of times.

The BEST thing I ever bought for my bathroom routine was a small bidet unit that is easily installed under the toilet seat. I feel and smell clean ALL of the time. There is really no need for toilet paper except to dry off.
Yes the water is cool, but it feels therapeutic and soothing after a bout with your man.
I wish to GOD that I would have had one of these after I gave birth to my 9 pound son. 😉
They aren’t expensive compared to how much we spend on toilet paper and wipes every year.
I found mine on Amazon and I think it was about $150. So Worth It!!!
I'm thinking of getting one of these.
I was curious on how they dry after does it spray water and the air to dry
@@gina62474 Mine doesn’t. I just pay dry with toilet paper. They exist, they just cost more

@@rufusdusol9453 It has a cleaning mode. Just keep the toilet clean and there shouldn’t be a problem

I’ve stopped wearing underwear for years (except during menstruation). I also wear a lot of dresses and wax every 8 weeks. This allows fresh air to circulate! I only use water in the vaginal area. I invested in a bidet and it has a fan to dry yourself off. No toilet paper needed. No wonder BV is a problem when we keep our vagina all trapped, moist and in darkness all day.

Also polyester blend underwear. Needs to be 100% cotton. Too tight pants or not breathable like polyester leggings. Exercise or after swim then stays in wet clothes too long.
She is spot on ! Its hard to hear for some after what we've been taught. In the 70's we had scented and color toliet paper plus Calgon bath powder. UTI went through the roof. We learned then that plain on water is all we needed, as our vagina is self cleaning. These bath / feminine products sold are all for profit. Drink enough water, yes if you have pubic hair you can clean with non fragrance soap and eat yogart.
I agree with some of what you’re saying but, any female would have an odor during her period or after when the period is going off and the first couple days of discharge. Women can have an odor urinating during the course of the day and going hours of not having a shower. We as female need to wash the out side of the vagina with some kind of soap or feminine wash but not to put anything inside the vagina to wash it. Having an odor doesn’t mean you have vaginosis, it means all day of sweating and not changing under wear and panty liner, urinating, discharge, having sexual intercourse and period days. Anybody not having a shower for hours wearing the same under will be smelly in the private area. I remember watching dr oz on Oprah show and he said the vagina is like a self cleaning oven it cleans itself but I know as women whatever comes out we have to wash the outside of the vagina to make it smell fresh.
I actually don't have an odor with every period...that's how I can usually tell when I'm off. The right Pads trap everything in it. If I can smell anything, I'm off. If I can't smell anything, I'm good. I had recurrent BV for years and the only thing that worked was the boric acid suppositories. You don't need soap, water does work just fine. And instead of using toilet paper, I used the all natural wet wipes with no scent. It took years for me to find a solution but what she said is the truth. Plus she's a medical professional so I would trust her opinion over anyone else's. I'm just commenting because I know what she's saying firsthand from experience.
I agree…the outside and in between those folds and under the hood needs to be cleansed with some form of mild soap. It should never be used inside though.
Well said perfect simple 👏🏾👌🏾✨
@kinggunner197hi how are you
Yes exactly I especially have to address odor from frequent urination and excessive sweating down there a gentle cleanse on outside and changing underwear and panty liners throughout day really helps me thanks for sharing

Why do i smell like fish when i eat fish?
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is an uncommon condition that causes an unpleasant, fishy smell. It's also called "fish odour syndrome". Sometimes it's caused by faulty genes that a person inherits from their parents, but this isn't always the case. Body odor after eating seafood is typically related to a metabolic disorder. People with trimethylaminuria develop a fishy odor after consuming seafood because they can't break down the chemical trimethylamine that's naturally found in seafood. The odor will appear within a few hours
This is not true.i don't eat seafood and I still will have fishy odors.mostly at the end of my cycle.
Drink lots and lots of water . Pineapple makes it sweet and oregano in tea makes it smell sweet. Do not put any inside you can put oregano in your bath too. Oregano gets rid of body odors maybe Change pad more often like every half an hour and talk a bottle in toilet for it over Vijaya when on the toilet that will freshen you up before you put pads back on.

Why do gyms say the discharge and order is from a yeast infection. Is this true
Boric acid??????
@sabrtnabolden8757
*sorry* I commented you but forgot to @ you in it. X.
A yeast infection could be a reason for a change in discharge & a (different) smell.
Discharge is normal , every woman has it, & it can change depending on the time of month, etc.
It can even get a different smell of you use certain products, never use anything that can mess with the ph balance which can cause bv. The comment above saying boric acid is right, it's a supplement you can take it f you have a ph imbalance. But it can have side effects, it's not for everyone. Food can change it too,
If the smell is very unpleasant & it looks different (colour, texture etc) you should go to your GP, or obgyn.
We have good bacteria in our discharge & certain things can 'kill' it all & cause yeast to grow.

I'm 67 yrs young. I've used suppositories, white vinegar, feminine soaps, wet wipes ,Feminine sprays and feminine powders. Some of these are helpful in keeping you fresh and cut down on moisture but the one thing I find that definitely keeps odor in check is something that mothers have used but over looked. The Bidet bottle or peri bottle made from plastic. If you had a baby and got stitches then you know what I'm talking about. This is a game changer ladies. Sometimes I put a very small amount of white vinegar in my bottle for extra freshness. Since I started using this peri bottle I don't have any issues with bad odor or vaginitis. Wish I had stuck with this many moons ago.
Do you dilute it with water & just spray it on the outside of the vagina?

@@zoemange6768 as a former nurse, I believe she was saying she uses a peri bottle with water to cleanse and sometimes adds a little vinegar to the water.

Thank you. We will have women walking around smelling. Wearing masks will be necessary. We should not use soap inside the vagina. The tissue in the vagina is sensitive. Women better wipe around that area. Who are they kidding?

I knew all this because I kept getting a yeast infection so my gynocolgist asked me what I used.I told him and he told me take all fragrance out.The purer the better.
Yes its not healthy it helps give infection too hun
How did you get rid of it?
@@bleusun4195 Hi😀! Get rid of what the cyst or yeast infection??
@@irenemarano8241 hello, thank you for replying back. I was mentioning about the cyst. I'm afraid I may have the same problem
I know you’re a nurse, but my Question is why don’t our doctors 🥼 tell us this? 🤷🏽♀️ Because I’ve never had a doctor 👩🏽⚕️ tell me not to use soap 🧼 on my Vagina ! Thank you for sharing!
Yogurt ( Greek ) helps tremendously, whether eaten or used as a “ douche “, and yes I said douche. ☺️ I am 67 and have been blessed to have never suffered from this condition. When I first started my period, my physician just told me to use vinegar/water douche after my period if there is any odor or if I just want to feel clean and fresh. Thank you for the info..
Yes vinegar is the best .
I do not know how these young women think, but we must keep that area clean. Thank you for clarifying. We will have women walking around smelling. Wearing masks will be necessary. We should not use soap inside the vagina. The tissue in the vagina is sensitive. Women better wipe around that area. Who are they kidding?
@@Dr.Sharron I agree some may think they mean the whole thing you must clean the outside of your virgina
My gynecologist told me that it is not good for a woman to douche!! You should not insert ANYTHING in your vagina!!!
@@crystalhill3815 they old school. It’s hard to unteach people things
Yes girl warm water is all u need 🙏💯❤️ that's how God put us together cause that stuff has all those chemicals in them an are bad for us
Thank you for sharing. I've had it twice now. Beating my brain how I got it. My doctor looked at me like I was a dirty person.. They never explained to me what caused it. They said no more baths..
I'm so happy I ran into this page.
Let me guess, a male doctor?😷
Male doctor - it has to be!
i’m only 13 and i hate being by people at school because they don’t understand.
A good diet is better. Baked or grilled chicken, raw fish, plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink about 2 liters of water a day. You’ll be good…
Not true. diey might help some things but not smelly vaginas much,
Thanks to *doctor iyhere on youtube* he cured me with his *herbal medicines* and now my *Virginia no longer sticks nor smell*
Cranberries or the juice
A good diet is better for a lot of things , including healthier skin , but most people don’t want that. Most people want convenience. They want to eat fast food and then rely on some product from the pharmaceutical industry to take care of their problem.
This is very good information. Probiotics is good in avoiding bacterial infections and to much douching is not good either because you're washing away your natural secretions that fight off germs. The vagina is like a open wound... easily to get infection.
Good analysis...the vagina is like an open wound..easy to get an infection..

Yooo i took this advice because my mom and grandma kept telling me to use soap down there and i kept getting this fishy smell
I stopped using soap and like after 3 days the smell is all gone 🤩🤩🤩

All men who enjoy the female company need to know everything that that you have talked about on this video clip Aishah
I use dove soap on the outside & just rinse with water. Nothing up in that but plain water.
Unscented?
Been telling my friends this for years.. wash downstairs with plain water. And go knickerless. You will never have any odours & don't have sex if your not in a relationship.
Thank you for this upload Sis 🙏 ❤ Much love coming from a dude My mother taught us as young boys what to look out for she always told us whenever that time comes all a women needs is just water and clean underwear. Long story short I had to stop talking to a girl because whenever that time would come up the small was just horrible and we both want to Doctors to make sure. All them chemicals in them brands is causing our Sisters to get cancers etc Thank you for your post once again
my pleasure!
simple and practical advice! you wear one underwear when you go to work, another underwear at home, bacteria are destroyed very quickly in the air!
Watching to assist my wife. Excellent work nurse.
😂😂😂😂
Wow I learned today 👌and I enjoyed her way of explaining very sweet and understanding
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
Also eating healthy food drinking lots of water helped to flush the impurity wearing loose clothing also wearing cottons undies lol.
Taking probiotics makes a huge difference
It sure does!
Amen to that
oh heck those canned summers eve femininely odor sprays of any kind cause the most painful cysts down there !!!!!!!!!!!!! I learned that the hard way
I think stress sweat is a nightmare for me🤦🏽♀️ the more fight or flight(anxiety /adrenaline) the worse it is and started getting that Lumi deodorant for your creases, and it helps but even that can have you getting boils or rashes if not careful with shaving and usage. This is part of the reason why I don’t go to the gym.
My OB told me it could be the laundry soap I use as well. Is this true? If so what’s the best brand to use? I have very sensitive skin.
I was told the same many years ago....I now use "All Free & Clear", it does not have any added fragrances, which are toxins in and of themselves. There are other brands of Free & Clear, however most are made in a factory that uses perfumed/fragranced ingredients, yet 'All' brand has been made w/o those toxins from the beginning.
You can also use Dreft, it's mostly made for baby clothes. No fragrance or harsh chemicals. Also, save those nylon panties for special occasions. They make you sweat down there. use more cotton panties for everyday use.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I STOPPED USING SOAP FOR QUITE SOMETIME BECAUSE I NOTICED I WAS ITCHING OR FEELING "DIFFERENT!" ONCE I STOPPED USING SOAPS AND SCENTED ANYTHING, I'M FINE...
Just sit in a warm bath twice a day with ACV. For 2-3 days. Should clear that up. 😊
What's ACV?
@@kellyh119 Apple cider vinegar
@@kellyh119 i think it’s Apple Cider Vinegar?
How much ACV goes in the bath
@@kellyh119 Water above waist line. And about a cup of ACV.
The commercials that are on TV (Lume) are disgusting and degrading to women. Women don't need these expensive things. Wash the perineal area with mild soap and water, rinse and dry. The vagina does not need to be washed.
#notificationgang Ps. I know BV is not an STD but the only time my lovely smelling kitty kat starting STINKING LIKE day old cat food in the Florida summer was after sex with a new guy. Girl, it was sooooo bad I apologized to my lifelong gyno before I would let him check me.
🤣
@@zaftigone85😭😭😭😂😂🗣️🗣️
I feel sometimes a man can throw your pH balance off that is true.
Strangest thing with me. I would always develop BV with only one of my ex boyfriend. Would get treated, have intercourse once cleared and then come back again. Every single time… only with 1 man. Other ex boyfriends not once did I have BV.
Don’t understand that but I say our chemistry did not work together.
Maybe he was intimate with another. Person. Could have infected u that way
@@pattywacker6340 Exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately that would also mean he didn't bother to wash after cheating. That's an even more disgusting thought😱.
@@cherylrobinson517 yuk
If y'all listened to the video, the doc said men can't pass BV, only if two women have sex with eachother. 🤦♀️. THAT would be from an STD HE PASSED on to YOU from ANOTHER WOMAN. THATS REALLY dangerous. THAT, should be checked out.

I am taking probiotics, I still wash using soap but it doesn't cause me any harm even my poop is not so smelly. I had regular bowel movement.
Awesome info. Thank you for helping me to understand so much My question is , does any of this pertain to a Postmenopausal 70 year old lady who is also a newlywed and still enjoys intimacy. I have found the product Monistat boric acid genital wash is very helpful for irritation and itching, but of course like anything else it’s temporary. I find just wiping down there after urinating with cold water dampened toilet paper helps very much. I have always been a Vagisil Oder control and PH Balance liquid soap user , but now it sounds like those two products are actually exaggerating the irritation after a day or 2. UGHhhhhhh , Momma never explained these Senior moments to me. 😂. Love listening to your advice and Thank You. God Bless and keep you safe❤🙏🏼
Thank you Nurse Midwife Bae and explaining BV. I always wondered about the fishy smell. I stopped eating tuna because I thought it was because of that. This discussion was very informative and helpful.
Way to go girl 👍still watching and I like how you mentioned probiotics too. Didn't know you were going to. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thankful for my Arabian husband-and I strong medical background not only in books but in various understandings.
This is a great video. I love the way you put the information out to cover everyone. I stopped using soap and things are so much happier down there.
Thank you very much for educating us in how vaginal hygiene should be. We learn so much from this talk.💖🌹👍🤗
For you:
Repent and be baptize in the name of Yeshua Almighty Masiah, time is running out, Yeshua love you and He don't won't you to parish, repent and turn to Yeshua Amen.😇
You are so right about that. I was told years ago by my doctor not to use soap. It will give you problems.. Good advice to those that do not know.
Never gave me problems. Used dove.
Our bodies can also smell bad from smoking, eating animal products, and drinking alcohol. Instead of just using bathroom tissue after using the toilet- squirt some water on yourself ( back first, then front ).. then use toilet tissue to dry yourself ( first front then back ). You can save an empty shampoo bottle for this purpose.
OMG...I LOVE U!! I'm literally so grateful that there is finally a professional voice putting this info out there for young women or just women period...I feel very blessed to have had an informed mother, she passed in 2012, but she instilled this, as well as a plethora of knowledge over many subjects, well within me!! She was such a beautiful woman and it's awesome to finally hear her teachings to me throughout my life, not just professionally confirmed but BROADCASTED on a major social media platform. I cannot tell you the number of times that my peers, mostly females but men, too, at times have looked at me like I was just gross and completely batty when I would try to tell them that the vagina is, in my mother's words, "a self cleaning oven." ☺️💯💜 Well, I'm definitely #GANGGANG...YOU ARE AWESOME!! THANKS AGAIN LOVELY LADY!

Can you make another video. I keep having and off smell I’m not sexually active and kind of embarrassed to talk to my moma about it. I use dove soap for sensitive skin not inside just around
wash maybe?
try changing your diet if you can ( alkaline vegan just look up dr.sebi food guide ) , drink 1 gallon of spring water daily & maybe switch to holistic lifestyle? this girl did that and she said she doesn’t stink not even after a long day of work followed up w seggs . she uses dr.bronners baby soap to wash up with & key limes under her arms ( OH WEARING PANTIES CAN ALSO GIVE YOU A STINCH it’s a hole it has to breathe )
also when you pee you can take a water bottle with you to pour it on there because even when you wipe it could be access pee ( btw I just came here to educate myself I’m not a hypocrite)
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
Honey I’ve used dove my whole life sensitive down below never even had a yeast infection. I wipe it on and rinse it right away. Not a big deal.
*I'm 39 and I feel stuck on stupid after hearing all this lol I been cleaning my vagina with soap all my life and I'm so confused more then ever* 🤦♀️🤣
One "small" thing: a lot of people say vagina when they actually mean vulva (for those who don't know, you can't see your vagina, the thing you see from outside - the flaps etc - is a vulva), I think this is an important thing that needs to be clarified in every such video because you never know who is watching and if they know the difference.
I use the word Vagina because so many women don’t recognize the word “vulva”. As a clinician you have to meet your patients where they are and explain things in a way they understand, that’s why I use vagina vs vulva, so often in the video. But I agree with you.
@@NurseMidwifeBAEYou have to explain the difference though. First of all you need to clean the vulva with warm water and either a good feminine wash or a mild soap to get it clean. The vagina is what is self cleaning and doesn't need anything besides maybe a little water if you want.
You are absolutely adorable ! I learn something from you in 86 years of my life ! Thank you I wash my “ flora and fauna “ with soap,crazy old women ! Thank you dear !
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
Oh you old old
Sis....THANK YOU! The Boric acid suppositories WORKED!!! I began inserting morning and before bed and in two days my BV was GONE! As my hardheaded self has had to learn...I continued inserting for 7 days and odor is gone. I also have found that using local spring water is better than tap water because spring shouldn't have any chemicals added. Sometimes I wish I could just sew it up!!! Geesh...been battling BV for 20 years now!!! Stuff be embarrassing.. men think you're dirty...and we aren't. We just have trippy coochies!😇
Vagina is natural cleaning, all you need to do is eliminate what is causing the excess bacteria.
@@zythr9999 I'm odor free now...thank God! But how do you pin point the cause of the rising of the pH???
@@tanyadoeshairllc That's good. It can depend on sex, if you're taking medications, douching, a tampon in too long, to name a few instances. Too tight clothing that doesn't allow airflow can also cause an increase in bacteria in the vagina.
Boric acid capsules are magical! 😉💗🦄
@@tanyadoeshairllc sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint but a healthy diet as organic as possible, drinking more water and regular exercise has worked wonders for me.
You did better than any video I've seen regarding BV. Get rid of soap down there ladies. Good job!👌🏾
Thank u for that important topic nurse that's wat I suffer wit coz I never know soap is a enemy to my veg an I keep using it ❤👍👍
What about post- menopausal women? If you are not sexually active, maintain excellent hygiene and yet have issues with odor? I realize that hormonal changes can cause issues - I am on HRT and notice that even my sweat has a different odor All of my clinical tests are normal - blood, urine, and I am not diabetic.
I had this pretty gal that I was going to "please" but when I got close, it was really nasty. This really ruined everything. I truly feel bad.
All men have experienced this
Every woman has a distinct smell, got to missing it after divorce.
Men are sooooo critical. Why don't they realize that their d**k and ba**s also smell like Clorox bleach. It's not only women who have personal odors, men have them too; but I suppose that men think that we should be so grateful for that pipe that we should be grateful to inhale that Clorox!!!!!
I'm addicted to changing my panty liner every time I pee or poo and I use 3 liners lined up front to back per change so it's co$ting me. Mentally I feel fresh this method.
Hopefully you’re not using panty liners daily. They should not be used in that way because the backing of liners is plastic, which can create a moist environment. My friend used to do this and had an awfully fishy vagina.
I Absolutely love the way you presented this & it does make a lot of sense.
thank you! Glad you enjoyed the information.
Thanks to doctor iyhere on youtube, he cured me with his herbal medicines and now my virgina no longer sticks nor smell
why fish?couldnt it smell like ripe strawberries.

YEAH! Like breath..
Why can't it smell like flowers.
Harsh soaps always burned my peri area! 😮 I stopped using them with sulfates in them and switched to a baby body wash with NO CHEMICALS. BIG DIFFERENCE ! No more stinging there !
