Intimate comfort: 8 tips for taking care of it
Although intimate comfort is still a taboo subject, it concerns almost half of the world's population...
So we say it loud and clear 🐚: let's take care of our vulvas and vaginas! 💛💛💛💛💛
🧼 An external toilet is enough to clean your intimate area daily. You can use a specially dedicated product, whose pH will be adapted to the vulvar area. 1 to 2 times a day.
🚿 A shower, rather than a bath is to be preferred as the prolonged contact of hot bath water can end up being irritating.
✅ Gentle cleaning is more than recommended, with clean hands. Forget the washcloth, a real nest of microbes! We wipe without rubbing, patting gently, from the vagina to the anus.
❌ Wipes should be banned, as should antiseptics, intimate deodorants, scented gels... formulated with compounds that are too irritating for the intimate area. They can be saved for one-time use.
💧 Proper moisturization with a hyaluronic acid-based cream prevents dry spells and soothes irritation. Thought as an all-in-one care gel, South Beauty soothes, moisturizes and protects the vulvar mucosa. In addition to being a soothing and moisturizing agent, it is a great ally that reduces discomfort after sexual intercourse or sports, in addition to fighting against vulvar dryness sometimes caused by hormonal changes.
❌ Clothes that are too tight should be avoided, especially when you suffer from vulvar dryness or irritations: the friction may make things worse. Ditto for wearing a thong! In everyday life, we will prefer cotton panties ;)
❌ After sweating (sports activity, stress stroke, sexual intercourse), one does not keep wet underwear that could cause irritation. We clean ourselves, even quickly, and put on dry panties.
🪒Hair removal should be done gently to avoid ingrown hairs and pimples.
❌ As for full body hair removal, we say goodbye to it: it tends to destroy the vaginal flora and therefore promotes fungal infections.
