Yeah, so cleaning inside the vagina, self-cleaning oven, you don't need to do anything to clean inside.

As for products for the vulva, none of them are tested in any meaningful way, except like my mom liked my cleanser, so I'm selling it to you.

Um, and, and so basically you want a cleanser for your skin that, you know, it, you know, has a, you know, doesn't have a high pH, uh, that isn't got, doesn't have scent in it.

It's not going to be irritating.

Uh, if you want to just use water, that's fine.

Uh, water might not get off sebum.

And if you're using other products, like say you're dry and so you're using Vaseline on your skin or something, it's not going to remove that.

And so I just recommend a gentle facial cleanser, uh, you know, a non-scented, um,

CeraVe, Cetaphil, Eucerin, one that's unscented that doesn't have salicylic acid or whatever else might be in those products.

They're generally cheaper.

They're good for your whole body.

They're not soap.

Well, soap is drying.

Like a dove.

Well, so is it a cleanser or is it a soap?

And so they're different products.

Bar.

Yeah, well, a bar can be a cleanser.

Yeah, so we'll say on the package if it's a cleanser or if it's a soap.

And a cleanser is a gentle cleanser that doesn't have fragrance and is an appropriate pH.
