Warm water for privates

Warm water is the best cleanser for your privates. Feminine washes and antibacterial soaps have many cons when it comes to feminine hygiene and it is best to not use them in the area at all. Not all bacteria is bad, and in fact there are some bacteria which kill the other harmful bacteria. An antibacterial soap or wash would actually end up killing all the bacteria. Also, soaps cause pH imbalance. Feminine washes and soaps also contain perfume that claim to "cover" the smell of your privates. However, these perfumes actually can cause localized allergy. It is a general rule of thumb to avoid exposure of all scented products to your privates. Warm water acts as the perfect wash because it is strong enough to kill harmful bacteria and anything else that might be a problem and yet mild enough not to cause any problems that the area is prone to.
