Not all laundry is created equal, especially when it comes to your undergarments.
And I’m not referring to hand-washing your delicates.
No, the issue is what kind of laundry detergent you use and the way it impacts your skin.
Donnica Moore, M.D., toldHuffPostthat standard detergent may be too harsh on your vagina and lead tocontact dermatitis.
“The number one cause of that is your laundry detergent.
The tissues that your panties come into contact with are a lot more sensitive than your elbows.”
To prevent this from happening, Moore recommended using a hypo-allergenic detergent on your underwear or something unscented.
“I don’t know why we need our vaginas to smell like a garden,” she added.
