How to keep one's vagina clean on the Playa

This is my first time at Burning Man and I am a little nervous about the whole feminine hygiene issue. Can anyone offer advice on how to keep that special place from getting so unhappy with the dirt and the dust and the non-showering?

Wrap it tightly in a clean plastic bag and keep it in a cool/dry place.

Or, I think there are several feminine hygene products sold in single-use sizes.

TMI follows:

Exterior: Cotton panties, no synthetics down there in the hot daytime. A garden sprayer with a vinegar/water solution is a perfect mini-shower, a small mister bottle will do the same trick. Much better than wipes, especially with a friendly hand guiding the spray. Cornstarch baby powder if you're a sweaty type.

I've heard stories of sunburned genitals from the sun reflecting up from the white playa, hey if it happens on snow ... be careful.

Interior: (assuming you'll be active) single use douche in vinegar, remember to pack it out and not drop it in a potty; condoms and water-based lubricant, a lot of it. I personally wouldn't get down and dirty right in the dust, I learned my lesson on a beach long ago and far away.

At your camp, use wet-wipes to clean yourself. Then put them into a zip-loc baggie and pack 'em out.

Remember kids, baby-wipes don't go in the porta-potties.

Thanks.

How do you keep your cootchie clean? Well, for starters do NOT sit your naked ass on the pplaya and start dragging your butt around like a dog with worms.

Hope that helps.

Also, if you go naked - BRING A TOWEL OR SOMETHING TO SIT ON IN OTHER PEOPLE'S CAMP. Fucking cootchies on my camp chairs........

There's TONS of active discussions around girl parts and their care and cleaning, over on Tribe.net on the Burning Women tribe. I highly recommend it - no topic is too taboo :)

X.

Hehe. Yes, yes it is! :P Ok...now to add something useful.

I'v been hereing alot about chicks getting dry down there. My recomendation: A month after having my child, my bits got quite dry (due to breastfeeding). I would put a little KY or other lube down there as not to chaft but it only furthered the issue. My midwife told me that it's due to not anoff yeast. How do you remmide this? YOGURT! Yogurt is THEE best lube EVER! It makes you coochie really soft and juicy plus it's wonderful foreplay even. My partner thought it was so much fun. Plus is makes it taste fruity.

I wouldn't reccomend the kind with fruit chunks however. Never tried it but didnt seem like a wise idea.
