Excessive intimate hygiene
Excessive intimate hygiene can be just as harmful as insufficient hygiene; it comes down to finding a healthy middle course.
Avoid
- washing several times a day
- vaginal douching
- hygiene sprays for the intimate area
- directing strong jets of water onto your intimate area
Appropriate intimate hygiene
- wash once or twice daily (e.g. Vagisan Intimate Wash Lotion)
- protect and soothe irritated skin with a cream
