First Point: It is crucial not to use ordinary body wash to clean women's intimate areas. The beneficial bacteria located at the vaginal entrance produce lactic acid, maintaining a certain acidity level to prevent bacterial growth (as bacteria prefer an alkaline environment). Using neutral or alkaline body washes or soaps can easily disrupt the natural protective barrier of the intimate area. Therefore, it is advisable to use weakly acidic cleansers such as feminine hygiene products.
Second Point: The skin of the intimate area is similar to the structure of lip skin, with only a thin layer of stratum corneum covering the dermis, making it prone to water loss. Modern women, due to stress, irregular schedules, and weakened resistance in the intimate area, may have difficulty maintaining an acidic environment. In addition to daily use of weakly acidic cleansers such as feminine hygiene products, it is also advisable to apply moisturizing products from daily skincare routines to maintain the natural acidic protective barrier. Although this is not a fundamental solution, it can be considered as a daily maintenance measure.
Third Point: It is important to use quality fabrics to keep the intimate area clean. When choosing underwear, women should prioritize breathable, natural cotton. Poor-quality dark dyes can cause allergic reactions in the lower body. Additionally, some women prefer to wear tight-fitting jeans or thong underwear, which can make the intimate area feel hot and damp, occasionally acceptable but potentially causing adverse reactions with long-term use. During menstruation, it is advisable to avoid such clothing. It is also crucial to change underwear frequently and maintain cleanliness, especially after visiting public places like swimming pools.
Fourth Point: According to surveys, 80% of married women and over 90% of postpartum women experience varying degrees of vaginal relaxation. Vaginal relaxation not only contributes to vaginal dryness but can also have negative impacts on relationships. Vaginal tightening is a fundamental solution to address this issue.
