I actually ran this by my OB out of curiosity.  Not only did she say absolutely not, but that any feminine wash is a bad idea, especially while pregnant.  There are good bacteria's down there that are healthy.  If considering anything like this, always run it by your Dr. first.

All of the people here had a small way if thinking... Too much talking isn't good specially if you really dont know how does it feels... Let me give u an example maybe the best is  about the things u hate to do.. Before u say u dont why not do it first so  that u can explain the reason why u say no.. For once and for all try to use that toothpaste so that ur  pretty little baby down there well get fresh and comfortable...

Okay, this is funny...true story. My daughter's friend was living with us while her dad was in Iraq. She's NOT a morning person, and kind of stumbled through her routine every morning. One morning I could hear her spitting and "ewwww" and making a fuss. When I went in the bathroom I saw her toothpaste on the counter next to a tube of Vagasil. LOL. It was in my daughter's medicine cabinet right above the toothpaste.

It's probably not "dangerous" -- more like bizarre -- but it could cause problems like vaginitis.  There is a natural balance in the fluids and vaginal environment, and you don't want to use harsh detergents or chemically perfumes, so I don't think you would want to use toothpaste, or any other product not intended for use as a feminine wash.  Some women don't use anything but water for that reason.

That is about the funniest thing I've heard all day, though!

Toothpaste has bleach in it... Maybe she's trying to color her hair?

Ha ha Reno! It is safe only if it is followed with a douch which consists of a mouthwash.
