How To wash private parts : When thinking about cleansing the body, soap often comes to mind. Many people habitually use the same soap on their intimate areas while bathing, believing it removes dirt from crevices. However, excessive use of bath soaps can cause skin problems. Since your intimate areas have delicate skin, avoid frequent soap usage there.
