I almost could cry over finding your channel. It is so helpful. My journey To good health down there HEALTH has been a struggle since i first started getting periods, I am excited to follow your advice and start feeling like a normal person. Only took me 10 years!!!
Congratulations on hitting a million subscribers. To think there was a time I was worried that the UA-cam algorithm wasn't letting people know about your channel.🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this video Doctor. Whilst visiting the Caribbean, I learned that the gel from Aloe Vera plant is very effective in vulva cleansing. I still use this method myself in the shower 👍🏽
@lastudentessa I use a knife to scrape the gel. Just apply in the shower as you would use a normal wash and rinse. The consistency is thick and slimy which gives it a 'soapy' feel when you apply it.
I'm so glad UA-cam exists for this reason! I wouldn't know these normally and it's not really something you go to a doctor for. My mum also never talked to me about feminine hygiene so I'm learning so much and I'm 30!! Thank you for the information and your videos ❤️
Just wanted to add to my previous comment that I ordered two of the washes that Dr. Simi recommended and noticed an immediate change (no more itching and no odor) compared to my old scented wash that I used to use. Thank you, Dr. Simi!

Dermol 500 is great mum has eczema so we all were raised with dermol and now showing my niece your videos so she knows how to take care of herself as she’s heading towards puberty now and it’s important
Thank you for this video! Plain Dove liquid soap has truly helped a great deal, but I also had to switch to the free and clear laundry detergent, as well as plain dryer balls to replace the fragranced dryer sheets.
I use mild/unscented soaps down there. I love to use Dr. Bronner's unscented baby soap, and this brand called Sure. Sure's soap is also unscented and it keeps you nice and clean. As long as the soap is mild, but preferably unscented I will use it.
With what I have learnt so far, I don't think it would be out of place to request a diploma in vulvulogy😃😅 Weldone Dr Simi, you always hit the nail with a touch of humour👍👍👍
I watched this video to see what was being said. When I went through puberty, there wasn’t a whole lot of educational content directed towards girls and more precisely, sexual health for girls. Luckily I have a mom who was always very open about these things and taught me how to wash my vulva properly. “Just water, a simple neutral soap and a gentle washing cloth if you want” is what she always said. To this day, even though I use scented gel washes on the rest of my body sometimes, I avoid using those on the pubic area and use the normal soap that works for me there. I’m happy to see that girls can now search things up like this on the Internet now ❤
Hi Dr simi, today is my first time coming across a page, and I am so glad I subscribe, I have 3 girls , ages 10, 8 & 3. Teaching them how to take good care of the special part , but now I am going to introduce you to them ,so they can understand how important it is to take care of themselves. Thank you so much,.
👩🏾🎓👩🏿🎓👩🏽🎓 Parts 1 & 2 were so timely! Thank you, Dr. Semi for providing a safe & judgement free learning environment. I really adore that you use the doll as your model, and that you use visuals of brown/Black skin with eczema and other forms of atopic dermatitis. Representation feels lovely. 🤎🤎
Super interesting! I was expecting to hear of some specific feminine washes, but there weren't any. I'm quite curious why things like Lactacyd and similar items marketed as specifically for use on the vulva were not recommended. Is it because they are not good to use? Please help clear this confusion for me Dr Simi!
That is exactly why I came to the comments myself. I have used Vagisil and Summers Eve for years with no problems. The washes, not the douches. I know douching is not necessary and can actually cause problems.
Hi dr Simi. I was thrilled when I saw this video come up but unfortunately none of the liquid formulas or creams you mention seems to be available in the Netherlands (not even the specific Eucerin one you mention.) Would you be so kind as to give some more options? Thank you so much for your work!
I’ve only used water on my actually lady parts and used soap on the surrounding areas. I have zero odor and no one complains about taste 😂 if you have odor go to the doctor or change your diet, less junk food because that can definitely cause body odor in your arm pits, sweat and down there.
@@semoneg2826 You're totally right, and thoses infections usually comes by excessive hygiene or harsh hygiene products, killing the bacterial flora. Honestly, all those products shown in this videos are useless : water, 7ph body wash on the external parts, and coton underwears do the trick just well. Also, because of p0rn, people are obessed with totally hairless lady parts. It's called "lady" part for a reason, and not "3 years old" parts. Hairs are truly here for protection. Ppl complaining about their own body odors should just wash more and wear undergarments made out of coton. And stop to obsessively want to have private parts look like ones of a toddler. Trim it how you want, but at least keep it around the outer labias to protect what's under. Consumerism has washed our brains, convincing us to buy many useless products, and follow useless beauty trends that just harm our bodies on the long run. It also cause a lot of allergic reactions.
This was amazing! I’ve had such a hard time finding a soap that worked for me. I’m not really sensitive but a lot of fragrances bother my skin. I find dove body wash works best for me.💜💜💜👩🏻🎓
Oh my. I was using some Avon intimate wash with fragrance.... Definitely switching to the dove baby head to toe Today!. Better safe than sorry😅. Thank you so much for sharing. 🧑🎓🧑🎓 Your laugh is contagious,love it 😂

👩🏾🎓 Edit: I assumed that using soap only on the outside does not affect the inside. I thought you had to insert for the vagina to be affected. I also haven't really heard about any of the types of soaps you mentioned.
Thank you for these very informative videos my question is is a plant-based soap good to use down there what should I watch out for with using a plant-based soap
I love the doll demonstrations it is helpful to see the visuals in a less invasive way. Outside of warm water flushes (douche) after menstruation cycles, I never understood why someone would put body soap IN their vagina. I was told that my mother and grandmother used Hexol as a cleanser for that area and even for douching, I looked it up and found that it is actually advertised as one of the common uses. Is this safe? I have only ever used it for cleaning my toilet bowl but then there is the history of Listerine.
@@lastudentessa douche is not good for the vagina, it flushes out the natural and good bacteria which can make a women prone to infection, thus has been said for some time now and the doctor has mentioned this in her “your washing it wrong video “ the vagina is self cleaning douche is not needed
Hi doc. Thank you very much for the information provided. Can you please confirm if men should use the same products? Are there products for them? It is necessary?
Hi Dr. Simi, thank you for your informative videos. Could you kindly educate us on over the counter/prescribed/organic probiotics and woman’s health. Thank you.
Loving your uploads as I’m having terrible troubles with my lady parts! I have never suffered with any issues within my 61 years on this earth apart from the last 11 years after I started my menopause. I have had that constant itch that drives me up the bloody walls day in day out. Night time is worse which wakes me up once I get off to sleep which is very rare as since I started the menopause when I hit 50 my sleep disruption is ridiculous! I can gone days without sleep, but I am also dead on my feet but sleep just won’t come. My itch is not internal or even inside the labia but on the outside, and I live on a daily dose of antihistamine and hydrocortisone cream to keep it at bay. Unless you have experienced “the itch” it is hard to describe, it literally drives you mad. You just have to scratch it, it’s so hard to explain. Please help us over 50’s or post menopausal women from going insane and giving us some form of quality of life once our ovaries decide to flee the nest. Many thanks ❤
Hello! I’m totally new here. I’m 15 years old and sometimes worry if I’m treat my vulva and vagina the right way. I’ve already learned here that you should wash with soap, which I always thought you should never do. And I also have a question: what about underwear? I recently stopped wearing underwear at night, because I saw a few girls recommending this, and actually, it feels really freeing. What about the hygiene? Is it better to wear an underwear? I’m curious. Thanks for the help!❤
Thank you for the video, I appreciate it so much. I've been using my regular shower gel (nivea, dove) for my intimate area. I haven't experienced any inconveniences ever. Would you still recommend using for example Dove baby instead of my regular shower gel? 🤔 Thank you.
Before I come across your videos I was washing wrong I use to thought you have to wash inside my Virginia Your video has helped me so much Thank you very much ❤❤❤
Watching this feels weird because just a few weeks ago I re-watched your previous video on how to wash vulvas where you specifically said it was /necessary/ to always use soap to wash them.
Hi, in my previous video I used the word ‘soap’ generically (in lay terms) to mean a cleansing product in a bar form. However I had so any queries about ‘soap’ and also people didn’t understand what I meant by ‘soapless soaps.’ So in this video, I made a better distinction to clarify things. Soap (contains soap surfactants) - can be drying for the vulva. (I don’t recommend, because I think there are better options. In this video I call this ‘traditional soap’ because of my experience from my last video.) Cleansing bars (also called ‘soap’ by many people) contain synthetic detergents - these are milder on the vulval skin. These are called ‘soapless soaps’ if they only contain synthetic detergents and they are called combination bars if they combine soap surfactants + synthetic detergents. Hope this clarifies things and thank you for asking the question. 😊
Oh no! See below- I’ve just clarified. It can be confusing because different people use different names e.g soaps, cleansers, soapless soaps, cleansing bars, beauty bars, syndet bars, combination bars etc.. I hope I made it clearer below. I’ll also pin a comment above! 😊
@@DrSimiAdedeji Ah okay, thank you for clarifying :) Maybe you could link this video at the end or in the description of the previous one, so people know which products you mean.
Thank you! 😊 I’m glad you think so. As always it may take some trial and error before people find the product that best suits them but hopefully the video explains some guiding principles.
@@DrSimiAdedeji I'm so excited and I'm so looking forward to buy them all some of them are not available in my country but the ones I m sure I've a hands on approach thanks simi to show me your products love you
Hey doctor Simi, I took the second COVID-19 vaccine booster (this is in total my 4th COVID-19 vaccine). Since January I get my period and a week will past by but I get like discharge in a form of blood, then all of a sudden I will bleed. The same thing is happening to me now. I was folding clothes today and I suddenly felt sick and wet. I went to the bathroom. I am bleeding. I called my doctor and next week Monday I have an appointment. Being a woman is amazing but hard! My gosh 😩😩😩 Please make a video of irregular period.
LOVE your channel! I have some moderate lichen sclerosis as well as more painful vulvodynia as I never could take estrogen after menopause due to breast cancer risk. I am 70. My actual vulva, however, is not particularly sensitive. Do those two conditions mean I would be in the category of reactive vulva anyway when it comes to the best product to use? I never knew one shouldn't use soap, this info comes a bit late, but still so good to know!
I have learned so much from your videos I am 75 never been told not to use a washcloth there I guess I have just lucky and not to use scented soaps I will try to find you Again what is the best way to find you on the internet
A little off topic but I am a little bit concerned. So today I noticed that I was bleeding. Which is weird because that would mean my period came a week early. Looked it up and it said spotting. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I'm not in any pain, still a virgin, 29 years old, not taking the medicine they mentioned. I narrowed it down to three reasons of why I am, hoping, spotting. 1. Stress. 2. Lack of sleep. 3. Hormones. I was wondering if any of you have been spotting around my age.
I may try the Eucerin cleanser. I think I vacillate between super sensitive to reactive although I've never had eczema there. None of the traditionally marketed fem. hygiene washes have worked for me (of the ones that I've tried, available here in the states.) I have a question... what do you think of making our own fem. wash using mostly distilled water, with pure aloe water and very little castile soap? I assume the aloe is safe and gentle but I'm not sure about the castile soap. I've seen women share this recipe here on youtube (except they will also add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil which I can't see working for me.) I would love to know what you think. Do you have ideas of a great recipe? Yes I am trying to save money and go as simple as possible. Thank you again! You're a brilliant and kind Dr. and are helping womankind with your informative channel. God bless you! 💛

Thank you for this video Doctor. Whilst visiting the Caribbean, I learned that the gel from Aloe Vera plant is very effective in vulva cleansing. I still use this method myself in the shower 👍🏽
How do you apply/use the gel?
@lastudentessa I use a knife to scrape the gel. Just apply in the shower as you would use a normal wash and rinse. The consistency is thick and slimy which gives it a 'soapy' feel when you apply it.
Sounds refreshing. I'll bet that feels great!
I'm so glad UA-cam exists for this reason! I wouldn't know these normally and it's not really something you go to a doctor for. My mum also never talked to me about feminine hygiene so I'm learning so much and I'm 30!! Thank you for the information and your videos ❤️

@@lastudentessa douche is not good for the vagina, it flushes out the natural and good bacteria which can make a women prone to infection, thus has been said for some time now and the doctor has mentioned this in her “your washing it wrong video “ the vagina is self cleaning douche is not needed
do NOT use strong products like that! the lady parts are more or less self cleaning!
Hi doc. Thank you very much for the information provided. Can you please confirm if men should use the same products? Are there products for them? It is necessary?
Hi Dr. Simi, thank you for your informative videos. Could you kindly educate us on over the counter/prescribed/organic probiotics and woman’s health. Thank you.
I use vanicream liquid cleanser, then I use cerave moisturizing cream. Thoughts? 😊
Loving your uploads as I’m having terrible troubles with my lady parts! I have never suffered with any issues within my 61 years on this earth apart from the last 11 years after I started my menopause. I have had that constant itch that drives me up the bloody walls day in day out. Night time is worse which wakes me up once I get off to sleep which is very rare as since I started the menopause when I hit 50 my sleep disruption is ridiculous! I can gone days without sleep, but I am also dead on my feet but sleep just won’t come. My itch is not internal or even inside the labia but on the outside, and I live on a daily dose of antihistamine and hydrocortisone cream to keep it at bay. Unless you have experienced “the itch” it is hard to describe, it literally drives you mad. You just have to scratch it, it’s so hard to explain. Please help us over 50’s or post menopausal women from going insane and giving us some form of quality of life once our ovaries decide to flee the nest. Many thanks ❤
🎓 This is very helpful. It should be information available to any female!
Hello! I’m totally new here. I’m 15 years old and sometimes worry if I’m treat my vulva and vagina the right way. I’ve already learned here that you should wash with soap, which I always thought you should never do. And I also have a question: what about underwear? I recently stopped wearing underwear at night, because I saw a few girls recommending this, and actually, it feels really freeing. What about the hygiene? Is it better to wear an underwear? I’m curious. Thanks for the help!❤
Thank You For All Of The Helpful Advice. You Are A God Send Dr. Simi
Where Have You Been. 👩🎓
Thank you for the video, I appreciate it so much. I've been using my regular shower gel (nivea, dove) for my intimate area. I haven't experienced any inconveniences ever. Would you still recommend using for example Dove baby instead of my regular shower gel? 🤔 Thank you.
I use feminelle nurturing wash.. it's an oriflame product.
Can we get a video about vulva sweating/hyperhidrosis and what we can do concerning it, thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your advice! Your videos are so educational 🙌
You're so welcome! I’m glad you enjoy my videos. Thank you for your support! ❤️
@@DrSimiAdedeji You're welcome! You've been given me better advice than my own Doctor or mother so thank you!! 😊❤️
I've suffered for years until I finally understood how to take care of it. My PH is partially back I have to use vagisil wash only.
I came here just to see your beautiful smile and your contagious laughter. I love you Dr Simi ❤️🥰😘. This is really helpful big Sis 🥰
Thank you! I’m so glad that you found it helpful and thank you for your support! 😊❤️
Before I come across your videos
I was washing wrong I use to thought you have to wash inside my Virginia
Your video has helped me so much
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
Your video is very helpful to many people.Thank you!
Watching this feels weird because just a few weeks ago I re-watched your previous video on how to wash vulvas where you specifically said it was /necessary/ to always use soap to wash them.
Right! I get confused everyday😅
She still says to use soap, but use certain types of soap or cleansers
Hi, in my previous video I used the word ‘soap’ generically (in lay terms) to mean a cleansing product in a bar form. However I had so any queries about ‘soap’ and also people didn’t understand what I meant by ‘soapless soaps.’ So in this video, I made a better distinction to clarify things.
Soap (contains soap surfactants) - can be drying for the vulva. (I don’t recommend, because I think there are better options. In this video I call this ‘traditional soap’ because of my experience from my last video.)
Cleansing bars (also called ‘soap’ by many people) contain synthetic detergents - these are milder on the vulval skin. These are called ‘soapless soaps’ if they only contain synthetic detergents and they are called combination bars if they combine soap surfactants + synthetic detergents. Hope this clarifies things and thank you for asking the question. 😊
Oh no! See below- I’ve just clarified. It can be confusing because different people use different names e.g soaps, cleansers, soapless soaps, cleansing bars, beauty bars, syndet bars, combination bars etc.. I hope I made it clearer below. I’ll also pin a comment above! 😊
@@DrSimiAdedeji Ah okay, thank you for clarifying :)
Maybe you could link this video at the end or in the description of the previous one, so people know which products you mean.
That is so helpful and educational. Thanks a million doctor ! 🌹
These are all awesome products I love you Dr simi
Thank you! 😊 I’m glad you think so. As always it may take some trial and error before people find the product that best suits them but hopefully the video explains some guiding principles.
@@DrSimiAdedeji I'm so excited and I'm so looking forward to buy them all some of them are not available in my country but the ones I m sure I've a hands on approach thanks simi to show me your products love you
👩🏽🎓heading to the store now!
Hey doctor Simi,
I took the second COVID-19 vaccine booster (this is in total my 4th COVID-19 vaccine). Since January I get my period and a week will past by but I get like discharge in a form of blood, then all of a sudden I will bleed. The same thing is happening to me now. I was folding clothes today and I suddenly felt sick and wet. I went to the bathroom. I am bleeding. I called my doctor and next week Monday I have an appointment.
Being a woman is amazing but hard! My gosh 😩😩😩 Please make a video of irregular period.
I have also had abnormal periods after taking the second dose of the vaccine after having normal periods my whole life.
Hope everything works out for you ❤
Best video on this topic. I don't smell or anything just itchy like crazy,
Should we use lactic acid intimate washes?
LOVE your channel! I have some moderate lichen sclerosis as well as more painful vulvodynia as I never could take estrogen after menopause due to breast cancer risk. I am 70. My actual vulva, however, is not particularly sensitive. Do those two conditions mean I would be in the category of reactive vulva anyway when it comes to the best product to use? I never knew one shouldn't use soap, this info comes a bit late, but still so good to know!
This is incredibly helpful! I just finished your other video about this. Do you have any recommendations for balanced skin that is not dove?
So, I have been using Dial, then Summer’s eve!! Omg!!!
I have learned so much from your videos I am 75 never been told not to use a washcloth there I guess I have just lucky and not to use scented soaps I will try to find you Again what is the best way to find you on the internet
Great video!!! Thanks for giving examples and the how to!!!! Super helpful!!!!!❤🙌🏾
I've loved that Aveeno bar for years. I'm sensitive. By the way 🎓
I use Goat Milk products, ph friendly and so gentle on the skin.
Thanks doctor. What about using feminine intimate cleansing wash ?
Is that harsh?
Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. Much appreciated. By the way you have a wonderful laugh!!
A little off topic but I am a little bit concerned. So today I noticed that I was bleeding. Which is weird because that would mean my period came a week early. Looked it up and it said spotting. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I'm not in any pain, still a virgin, 29 years old, not taking the medicine they mentioned. I narrowed it down to three reasons of why I am, hoping, spotting. 1. Stress. 2. Lack of sleep. 3. Hormones.
I was wondering if any of you have been spotting around my age.
What soap is best for diabetic skin. Thanks
👩🎓
Thanks Dr Simi from Sénégal 🇸🇳 west Africa
I may try the Eucerin cleanser. I think I vacillate between super sensitive to reactive although I've never had eczema there. None of the traditionally marketed fem. hygiene washes have worked for me (of the ones that I've tried, available here in the states.) I have a question... what do you think of making our own fem. wash using mostly distilled water, with pure aloe water and very little castile soap? I assume the aloe is safe and gentle but I'm not sure about the castile soap. I've seen women share this recipe here on youtube (except they will also add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil which I can't see working for me.) I would love to know what you think. Do you have ideas of a great recipe? Yes I am trying to save money and go as simple as possible. Thank you again! You're a brilliant and kind Dr. and are helping womankind with your informative channel. God bless you! 💛
