so, this is so embarrassing, but no one has ever really talked to me about how to care for my private area. like i’ve been told antibacterial soap and to change your wash cloth after each use, as well as cotton underwear and giving it time to breathe, but i have questions. when people say to wash your vaginal region with soap or water do they mean just run it over the area or get up in there, like in the folds? when do i know something is wrong down there? this sounds dumb, but i have bad stomach issues and various other chronic health issues so its hard to gauge when something is wrong because there is always something wrong with some part of me. like what discharge or smells are normal? all of this feels silly, especially because im grown, but no one ever talks about this stuff around me and all the information ive found online differs so much. (i also have been to an obgyn but they sucked tbh, so i dont feel like i have people to ask)
