Good morning, ma'am,

On contact with the skin or certain other surfaces, hydrogen peroxide is partly transformed into water and oxygen, which can manifest itself with bubbles or foam.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

I would like to strongly advise you not to use peroxide to clean the vagina or vulva. Only clear water.
