        I don’t think you know what you’re talking about or your fellow downvoters. I read that in a reputable publication over well about three decades back and I take their word over some naysayer online with no backup information or sources.

        Not only that but I’ve had women tell me it’s true that vinegar cleans smells and tightens the area. You are not a reputable source.

          Youre not right about this. Im sorry. Some women do douche, but most doctors will advise against using anything like this. Mild soap externally is all that is recomended by most Obgyns.

          This info you have is old wives tales, not modern science.

            I read this in the late 90s. And I’m still siding with them over some bandwagon jumper on her off the fucking internets. You’re not a reliable source. Someone else said something that sounded authoritative so perhaps nevertheless.

            Also I don’t give a shit. I was just sharing what I read from an authoritative source, you can piss all the way off.

              This …line of thinking is why my step father wouldnt let me or my sister shower while on the rag in our teens. He had some old ass info, ignored doctors, and me and my sister suffered at the hands of his misinformation. He wouldnt even buy us tampons or pads and we used paper towels. I have no idea why he said we couldnt shower while having a period. The man was a fool and now lives in isolation. anyway…

              ita okay to be wrong, but its not okay to spread that info. it can harm women.

                I shared something I read from a reputable Source at the time that was confirmed by other people that I had talked to, you say it’s wrong whatever it’s wrong.

                There’s a nice way to correct somebody if you think they’re wrong.
