If you genuinely have bacterial vaginosis you need an antibiotic to clear it up.

If you have bacterial vaginosis, do NOT put vinegar in there. I don’t know who told you that, but you will need to see a medical doctor. I repeat, do NOT put apple cider vinegar in there!
You should take a look at your diet as an imbalance can lead to the wrong kind of bacteria getting the upper hand.
Cider vinegar is a great food for helping your system to be balanced. Try taking it daily for a few weeks – either in water or as salad dressing.
Yogurt will also help you re-balance your system. Again, take it daily – the real kind not flavoured stuff with additives.
Avoid too many sweet foods, too, especially added sugars.
Check with your doctor if the condition does not improve in a few days.
The reality is…there are NO studies to prove that apple cider vinegar can be used to treat this condition. NONE. All so-called “evidence” is based on anecdotal theories at best. I’m not sure how you are using this vinegar, but I would suggest to stop wasting your time.
Clearly, the best and most reliable treatment is typically with a medication called “Metrogel Vaginal,” or “Clindesse.” The advantage of the latter, is that it is a one time treatment. The vaginal applications for MetroGel are usually 5-7 nights.
Yes, many soaps can be VERY irritating to the vaginal flora, and it is best to use something mild/neutral. I typically recommend Dove or Ivory. You should try to wash “inside” the vaginal canal either. Avoid soaps that are “antibacterial” in nature as well. As well, you should NEVER douche, or take “bubble baths,” as these will upset the flora and precipitate a B.V. infection.
Talk to your doctor or provider of care about this. Leave the vinegar for your next salad instead.
Best of luck!
