3 important rules of intimate hygiene that not all women know: check yourself!

Caring for the intimate area is an extremely delicate process, mistakes in which can cost the health of our women. If your plans do not include endless visits to the doctor to eliminate problems, remember 3 important rules of personal hygiene that everyone should know.

Even though these pads are called daily pads, that doesn’t mean you can get by with just one a day. Everything, even super-breathable (it’s a marketing ploy by the way!), the padding creates a warm and moist environment in the intimate area, conducive to the spread of bacteria.

That is why wearing one every day leads to consequences in the form of inflammation, itching, irritation or the appearance of an unpleasant odor. Gaskets should be changed as needed and used only when absolutely necessary. Before each change of towels, it is advisable to take a shower or wash in a bidet, and in extreme cases, to use wet wipes for intimate hygiene.

To care for the intimate area, it is recommended to use products that do not contain alkali. Regular soap or your usual shower gel will remove beneficial bacteria as well as dirt and will also change the pH of the skin and mucous membranes for a short time. However, this time is quite sufficient for the development of pathogenic bacteria.

To avoid risks, use special products for intimate hygiene. These products must have an acidic environment, ideal for taking care of a delicate area. Pay attention to the composition: in addition to lactic acid, there should be such moisturizing, healing, softening components as aloe vera or chamomile extract.

During critical days, many girls take a shower almost every hour to always feel fresh and comfortable, but only harm their health. Like every other day, you should wash during your period if necessary. It is better to do this after replacing the gasket with a new one, that is, every 3-4 hours. By the way, this rule also works in cases where the joint is almost clean after this time.
