Each vagina has a particular odor which depends on the bacterial flora and not on the lack of hygiene.
Vaginal washings or vaginal showers are to be AVOIDED, in fact, several studies have shown that they alter the balance of the vaginal flora and promote the growth of “bad” bacteria, increasing the risk of infections.
