What is a feminine wash?
Intimate or feminine washes are mild and gentle cleaning formulas, which are used to clean the outer part of your intimate area called the “vulva” and won’t cause dryness and irritation.
How to use feminine wash?
Put a small amount on your hand and apply it on the external vaginal area, “vulva”, during a shower or a bath. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Using feminine wash helps prevent itchiness, dryness, and bacterial infection.
The most common misunderstanding is that feminine washes can be used for the vagina, the muscular canal.
In fact, the vagina has a “self-cleaning” function of clearing out harmful bacteria naturally. Using intimate washes directly to the vagina will disrupt its healthy pH balance (around pH 4-4.5).
Please remember to use the feminine wash for the external vaginal area only.
Can you use feminine wash while on your period?
According to gynecologists, you can use a feminine wash to clean the vulva as it is not self-cleaning. You can apply feminine wash to the outside of your vagina and inner thighs for cleaning the period blood and preventing bacteria. You should choose gentle formulas to avoid inflammation.
