Ladies, do you wash your lady parts or do you just rinse? Guys, would you give oral to a woman who didn’t wash her vulva?

I’m not talking about douching (though you shouldn’t do that), but outside, do you wash your vulva or do you just rinse it with water?

I’m asking because a lot of women don’t use anything except water since the vagina is self cleaning but men seem to often complain of a smell, especially during oral.

  • Rinsing your vagina alone is poor hygiene. By rinsing, you're simply giving the bacteria on your body a nice luxury pool to swim in. I'm willing to bet that any girl that just rinses herself down there has a stank pussy. Whenever I clean my vagina, I use pH balanced light soap strictly designed for feminine hygiene. My main brand that I use is Summer's Eve. I put a small portion of soap on the washcloth, and wash my whole area down there using the soap and wash in between my labia area and clit. It's very important to wash in between those hard to reach places because nastiness can accumulate there and produce a bad smell. Afterwards, I rinse it off. As for the vagina, meaning the actual canal, I give it a quick rinse with filtered water. I understand that the vagina is a "self-cleaning oven," but that doesn't mean that it is completely clean, especially if you have a significant other that enjoys giving you head. Filtered water has a neutral pH balance. I just simply wet my finger with warm water and lightly rinse the inside with my finger. When I get out the shower, I dry the inside of it using a dry washcloth, also using a finger. Personally, I don't understand why doctors and others don't recommend this. I've been doing this all my life and never really suffered vaginal odor problems or ever had any infections. In fact, I actually feel a lot cleaner when I wash it this way and my fiancee never complains about any funny smells.

  • I've been told you're not supposed to use anything down there, so I just rinse it with warm water (detachable shower head!) I have feminine wipes that I sometimes use though.

    • I think feminine wipes count towards washing it. It’s like using vaginal soap with a wipe since toilet paper doesn’t clean anything and leaves residue.

  • I've given oral to multiple women and I've never had an issue with how it smelled. There are differences between women but I've always enjoyed it and I can't care if they use soap or not. As long as the soapy smell doesn't get too much. My girlfriend uses normal shower gel when washing her pussy, she says she feels fresher than if she would just use water because she keeps a full bush. But she only washes the outside; she doesn't wash between her labia or inside her vulva.

    Vaginal douches are a no-go, a pussy should smell and taste like a pussy.

  • I believe in lots of foreplay. Plenty of time to get her sexually aroused and soaking wet.
    At that time, her vulva will never be cleaner or fresher than it ever will be.
    I would gladly put my tongue down there. The only girls that stink down there are girls that smoke.

  • Soap and water. Vaginas are self cleaning on the inside - not the outside

    • Because they have all the bacteria needed to clean, using douches or feminine wipes or feminine soaps are bad for it. They're unnecessary chemicals. Best to use fragrance free soap

  • I use non scented soap and water to thoroughly clean my entire vulva, but never the inside of my vagina.

    • That’s what you are supposed to do. I don’t know if anyone who puts soap inside themselves. I think that’s actually dangerous.

    • Putting anything inside our vaginas to wash it can seriously upset the ph balance that helps with the self cleaning system... Definitely not recommended.

  • My East Asian SO warm water rinses her vulva every time she uses the toilet. She is always fresh for oral. No chemicals, no soap, no douching. Just a flood of warm water.

  • I like the scent of a vagina and don't mind giving oral to a woman who just washes hers with water.

    • Soaps don’t get rid of the natural scent of the vagina.

  • Not direct soap but its like do ladies expect that I pull my skin back to clean my dick...
    Then they probably should also clean the inside... if not, the taste is just terrible and makes even the hardest dick soft

  • I wash my girlfriend's lady parts when she's here. I don't know if she does at her house.

  • Would give us an opportunity to shower together. Hehe.

  • I love giving oral but our bodies need to be washed properly that’s just basic hygiene

    • I’m actually having several women tell me water is okay. I know that doctors say that, too, but I can’t bring myself not to use vaginal soap. I don’t feel clean otherwise 🤷🏾‍♀️

    • I mean I don’t think you have to get soap all up in there to make sure it’s clean but soap on the outer parts of the vulva for sure combined with a thorough rinse with water on the inner portions of the vulva to me is what is needed and appreciated when I’m giving oral.

    • True. But the women I’m talking about don’t even do that. You aren’t supposed to use anything harsh like Dial or Olay, but I can’t bring myself to use strictly water.

    • Show All
  • As long as she does not smell like the fish&chips i order at the Brits cafes, she would do just fine

  • I would say yes to a healthy vulva that smells healthy.

  • Every girl should wash their private parts after pee, if is nice and clean very nice to lick all of it..

  • I don't get anything out of giving a woman oral, but I don't mind doing it because it turns her on and makes her feel good. But there is no way I'm going there if she is not clean!
