When you take a shower do you wash inside to clean everything? Are you supposed to? Is it bad to ?

I am talking about INSIDE, not just the outside

Yes! Most girls do wash inside the vagina. Just as long as you don't use soap inside you, you should be fine.

It's called douching and it is safe to do up to once a week. If a girl or woman is sexually active, then it is advisable to do so this often for cleanliness.
Personally, I am not sexually active right now, so I usually douche once a month, after my period. The vagina is a generally self-cleaning and does not require much "outside assistance".

I believe you should wash your labia, clitorus, and pubic area thoroughly, yet carefully. However, your vagina has it's own cleansing system that maintains a proper ph so that you don't get bacterial infections. Keep it clean on the outside, but leave the inside alone!

A woman's body has all the necessary cleaning components built in.
Douching can strip the body's own natural components away and subject you to infections, itching and other problems.
Remember, being too clean can turn into a bad thing ultimately.
Consult the links I've included for you, and rest easy.

As a woman I wash my external genitalia thoroughly. The inside of a woman's vagina is acidic and cleans itself. A doctor will tell you that douching is very bad because it strips your vagina of the natural oils and things that it needs...If there is an abnormal smell or color of discharge...you should seek medical attention and not treat things on your own.
Wait a minute...who is asking this and why are they asking girls instead of women???
What a pervert...

a bath is better so that water can enter and clean it or douche but trying to go inside and clean with maybe soap or something like that will irritate the hell out of you

Being clean is great, but if you have douches too often, you can easily contract a yeast infection. This is a problem my first wife had in spades.
