Inserting a Finger in the Vagina and Anus

Question
Does inserting a finger in the vagina and anus for the purpose of cleaning invalidate the fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The anus is a recognized opening, so inserting a finger into it breaks the fast and such an action is disliked. As for the vagina, it is not considered an opening, so inserting a finger into it does not break the fast. And God knows best.
