You're standing in the shower. Ready to wash yourself. Maybe even shave.
But what you use – especially there – matters more than you think.
Far too many women use regular soap in their intimate areas. It may feel refreshing in the moment, but in reality it can create imbalance and irritation. So it's time to take a stand – and choose something that's designed with your intimate health in mind.
Why regular soap and water can cause problems
The intimate area is not like the rest of your skin. It is made up of delicate mucous membranes and has a natural pH value of around 3.8–4.5. When you wash with regular soap (pH 8–9), four things happen:
-
You disrupt the microflora (the good lactic acid bacteria)
-
You dry out the skin and mucous membranes
-
You increase the risk of burning, itching, redness and infections
-
You remove the natural barrier against bacteria
