The pH value of our lady parts is quite acidic (around 4.5 on the pH scale- 7 is neutral). So that's about as acidic as beer or tomatoes. Microbe communities in the vagina maintain this acidity level. Lactobacillus, for example- a group of lactic acid-producing bacteria, dominates the ecosystem in many women's vaginas. These highly beneficial bacteria and their acidic output are likely to keep nasty bugs from moving in and colonizing the place. Ewwwwwww. I know it doesn't sound great but hey...without them who knows what we would be presented with.
