Taking care of intimate hygiene is very important for women. Not only does this make you feel clean and fresh, but it also keeps you safe from many health problems. Follow these tips by Vasavadatta Gandhi, an expert in Millennium Herbal Care, to maintain intimate hygiene.
Always keep the intimate part dry
- There is more moisture around the vagina, so try to keep the place dry. Take special care of this thing especially during the rainy season. Whatever innerwear you wear, they are well dried, take special care of this.
- Since this season also brings more sweat, keep in mind that the fabric of innerwear should be breedable. The synthetic fabric prevents moisture from seeping out, causing irritation and friction, which is also not good for the skin.
- Talcum powder can also be used to keep the vaginal part dry.
- If you get wet in the rain, take a bath immediately and dry yourself well when you get home.
Avoid wearing tight clothes
- Wearing tight undergarments is the biggest reason for vaginal infection, avoid doing this.
- Do not wear clothes that are very tight. This causes irritation and it does not properly perform blood circulation in this area.
- Avoid wearing skinny jeans and tight shorts. This causes excessive sweating and the airflow is not properly in the body, causing skin irritation and friction.
- It is better to wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothes. Wear comfortable light shorts at bedtime, so that your skin can breathe.
Take care of vaginal hygiene
- Always wear clean underwear. This is most important for intimate hygiene.
- Clean the intimate area slowly 2 times a day, but keep in mind that avoid washing more than 2 times a day, otherwise, irritation, itching and dryness may occur.
- Avoid using hard water, Harsh soap etc. in this area. Always use gentle and mild products.
- By keeping the intimate part clean, bacterial infection and deodorant can be avoided. Always clean the intimate part while bathing in the morning and sleeping at night. If you sweat too much, then you need to pay more attention to cleanliness as well.
- Pubic hair causes excessive sweating around the vagina and there is a risk of increased odor and infection due to sweat, so keep the pubic hair clean from time to time to avoid vaginal infection.
Keep yourself hydrated
