You wouldn\u2019t use shampoo on your face or body wash on your hair. Would you? NO! \u00a0We also have specialized products that care for our lips, nails and teeth. But when it comes to caring of our vulva, often this delicate skin gets overlooked. We usually grab a bottle of body wash\u00a0or a bar of soap, this works, doesn’t it? Well, sort of\u2026 but not really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, soap\/body wash should not be used on the vulva\/intimate area, because they might do more harm to the body than any cleansing effect<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, let\u2019s talk about the difference between your vagina and vulva.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most women are not aware of their body, because talking about the female body is a taboo. Well, the first thing to do is to find out more about what you have been born with, whether or not you have any interest in biology. The most basic thing to know about the complicated female body, before we start a conversation about the\u00a0hygiene of your intimate areas, is that the vagina and the vulva are two different things. The vagina is a tubular, muscular structure on the inside of the body, while the vulva is on the outside, surrounding the vaginal opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why don\u2019t you need to cleanse your vagina?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many women, in an attempt to smell nice, try different methods of cleansing the inside of the vagina, starting with fancy, fragrant soaps to bizarre home remedies. It is important to know that there is no need for using external agents to cleanse the vagina, because it is capable of cleaning itself with the help of an internal lubricant secreted by your magical body. So, when you see any whitish\u00a0vaginal discharge, don\u2019t be alarmed. In addition, you must remember that the vagina has an acidic environment inside, with a\u00a0pH level<\/strong>\u00a0of 3.8-4.5<\/strong>, which helps to maintain a microbiome of good bacteria in the body. When you use soaps inside, or even the home remedy products, it can raise the pH level, causing infections to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, your vulva needs cleansing.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, the vulva, which is on the outside, is more exposed to dirt. Because of the hair follicles, it also gets sweaty. So, this part of the body needs some basic cleansing. However, you must not use regular soap or body wash for the same. You must remember that the intimate area is special and hence, requires special care. The skin is more sensitive and is different from the rest of your body. This means that the regular soaps and cleansers that work for the rest of the body may not work for the vulvar region. They can turn out to be too harsh for the region, and eventually, they can cause irritation. If they enter the vaginal tube, they can\u00a0cause pH imbalance.\u00a0Just use warm water and a delicate wash\u00a0for the vulva<\/strong>, and leave the vagina to cleanse itself on its own! \u00a0Our femfresh products ranging from washes, wipes to powder are gentle enough for cleaning, plus it\u00a0keeps your vulva\u2019s natural \u201cpH and microbiome balanced*\u201d so you\u2019ll feel fresh and clean after your shower.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspite of regularly following these\u00a0intimate cleansing tips, if you think that the odour of your intimate parts has suddenly changed and become unpleasant or if there is a change in the nature of your vaginal discharge, visit a gynaecologist to figure out what the problem might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *The pH of intimate skin is different to the rest of your body.
