how do I make my vagina look more moistured and cleaner?
Question Posted Sunday April 28 2013, 12:37 am
I use body wash to clean down there and shave it but when I get out and look at my vagina, it looks red and irritated. It looks kind of dry as if it has goosebumps too, is there any way to prevent this? Anything like a certain waxing kit so you can't see the little hairs that still stick out and something good for cleaning your vagina that will moisturize and make it look fresh clean and not red? The reason why I am asking this is because I am sexually active and it doesn't seem like my partner has been satisfied with how my vagina is lately so I need lots of good advice for this.

Inside the vagina is its own ecosystem and that is upset easily by washing away good bacteria. You need to look up a young gal on Youtube Lacigreen... She has 156 videos all sex related. Her interest started at age 10--library books. She got the video's going, after Planned parenthood suggested she do it. She gives you straight on correct information and Watch her video on Dirty Vagina's. Theres a good one about labia too. Even relating to guys.
Since you are trying to remain hairless, all the fussing down there to remove hair is going to irritate the skin. However, when you say it looks like goosebumps I chuckled cus thats a perfect description for the pores the hairs used to be. Your skin will always look like goosebumps dear. Only the labia have a different texture.
BTW you don't need to moisturize your private parts, your body does that naturally. Again I highly recommend you watch Lacigreen and pass her on to your friends. I guarantee they will benefit from her videos as well. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

Stop using body wash to clean that area. Soap is probably what is making the area dry. Just use warm water.
The bumps are likely coming from shaving. There are a few ways to combat this. If you let the hair grow out a little before shaving it again, you'll get a much smoother shave. Don't shave any more than every other day. Make sure that your razor is very sharp. Using a dull razor can irritate the skin and may pull at the hairs rather than shave them off properly. Don't press down as hard with your razor. Just press enough for the razor to cut off the hair. Any harder and you could be irritating your skin.
