What's a good way to cleanse yourself down there? My mother always told me vinegar and water, but I read somewhere that that wasn't good for the bacteria that's supposed to be there. I'm just really paranoid of smelling badly.

The safest and smartet thing is to wash it once a day (while you shower) with warm water and non-scented soap. You do NOT put the soap or water into the vaginal hole, but rather gently wash around your inner and outer lips, getting into all the crevices. Make sure you rinse thoroughly.
This should keep your vagina in tip top condition.
