Today, manufacturers offer a variety of design options for hygiene products. The distinction is based on convenience and frequency of use. Some products are comfortable for home procedures, and some will help out during a long journey and help you freshen up at any time you need it.

Gel is the most common form of release. It is based on a mild emulsion that does not contain alkalis and traditional soaps. The gel is placed in a convenient tube bottle, often equipped with a dispenser.

Soap for intimate care, although in design and structure resembles an ordinary alkaline soap, it is not. The composition is largely identical to gels, but dyes are often added to such soaps that can be harmful.

Therefore, when choosing an intimate soap, it is better to give preference to products of very delicate and light shades.

Mousses and foams were created for sensitive skin. Lightweight structure provides gentle care. Available in vials, which must be shaken before the procedure.

Wet wipes will help out in cases when it is impossible to carry out full hygiene of the intimate area. This is the optimal solution for those who go on the road or spend a lot of time away from home.

Women during menstruation can quickly freshen up with napkins at any convenient time. When choosing these napkins, it is important that the impregnation contains no alcohol, and that the napkins themselves are woven from a delicate and soft fabric.

Deodorant for intimate hygiene is most often produced in the form of an aerosol. As a rule, it is not sprayed on the organs themselves, but on the part of the linen that comes into contact with them.

Deodorant prevents unpleasant odors and, in hot weather, prevents profuse sweating that can occur on inner sides thighs.

The intimate cream provides the necessary hydration and nutrition to the human skin in its most delicate areas.

Therefore, it must be applied after visiting public water bodies. Some intimate creams have a special structure and can be used as lubricants.

Rules for choosing products for intimate hygiene

In order not to be mistaken when buying cosmetics for intimate hygiene, you need to follow a few simple rules:

1. You only need to make a purchase in a specialized store or pharmacy. A product purchased in a stall may turn out to be a fake, have an expired shelf life or be stored with violations of the temperature regime;
2. The composition of the product is important. Ideally, it should consist of two components: lactic acid and a bactericide. The main thing is that it should not contain anything alkaline. However, men's hygiene products may contain glycerin and some light fragrances;
3. Shelf life good product cannot be more than a year, since it should not contain preservatives;
4. Funds with strong smell contain a flavoring agent. Strong and bright color speaks of dyes. It is better to refuse the use of such cosmetics;
5. In gels and soaps, various medicinal and herbal components can act as additives that help fight fungi and bacteria. These additives include essential oils and extracts of tea tree, calendula, chamomile and sage, as well as depanthenol (converted to a B vitamin) and vitamin D;
6. The level of acidity that the product has is important. For the intimate area, this should be the range from 3.5 to 5.2 pH.

Since the male intimate sphere is more alkaline than the female, products for male and female hygiene differ in composition. When choosing a product, this must be taken into account.

How to use intimate hygiene products correctly

What you need to have a care procedure intimate organs body has only benefited? Not only select quality products, but also use them wisely:

1. Hygiene procedures should be daily. Women on the days of menstruation should do them more often;
2. It is necessary to wash the intimate area only from the outside so that detergents or dirt does not get inside the body. Movements should be from front to back, not vice versa. This is especially true for feminine hygiene, since with the opposite action there is a risk of bringing bacteria from the intestines into the vaginal microflora;
3. During the procedure, do not use hard washcloths and sponges. Unless it is a special washcloth for intimate male hygiene. The product must be applied to the palm or to such a special washcloth;
4. Do not spray water. It should flow from top to bottom. The water temperature should be warm, but not hot. Rinse off the cosmetic product completely.

After the procedure, an intimate moisturizing cream or deodorant can be applied to the organs.

First of all, this is due to the fact that, as a rule, the intimate zone has a lower PH level - from 3.8 to 4.4 (while the average for the skin is 5.5). The environment in this zone is more acidic due to the lactobacilli that live there. In order not to disturb the acid-base balance (which is fraught with an increase in the population of pathogenic microbes), it is necessary to use detergents with a low PH. That is, ordinary soaps and shower gels with a PH of 5.5 and above are not suitable. Indeed, if the environment in this zone becomes too alkaline, then the number of lactobacilli will fall, which can lead to dysbiosis with unpleasant consequences in the form of dryness, itching and irritation.
One of the most important components of intimate hygiene products is lactic acid. It has a mild antiseptic effect, while maintaining the same PH required for normal flora.
In addition to lactic acid, natural intimate products include plant extracts known for their soothing and antifungal (preventing candidiasis) effects, such as chamomile, thyme, St. John's wort, ylang-ylang.

Today, there are all kinds of products for the care of any part of the body.... Soap gradually fades into the background, giving way to more gentle gels, foams and other products that gently care for the skin. One of the delicate areas that you need to constantly and properly care for is the intimate area. The leading position in this matter is occupied by a gel for intimate hygiene. It allows you to gently cleanse the skin, eliminate unpleasant odors and support the health of women.

What is it needed for

Many beneficial bacteria and microorganisms live on the walls of the vagina... They have a therapeutic and prophylactic effect, destroying harmful microbes, and preventing their further appearance and reproduction, and do not allow infection to penetrate internal organs... In addition, beneficial bacteria create the necessary acid-base balance. But this balance can be easily upset if you use soap or the wrong gel for washing, as they are too alkaline and can kill not only harmful microbes, but also beneficial microorganisms. And in the absence of a proper protective barrier, infections can get inside, cause discomfort, or even worse - cause disease. It is better to use the right remedy for your health, it will not disrupt the state of the female microflora.

It is possible to violate the alkaline environment not only with soap, but with too hard or chlorinated water, as well as if you do not follow the hygiene of intimate places. A correctly selected gel will gently and efficiently remove dirt, preserve the acidic environment of the intimate zone, give a feeling of freshness and have a healing effect.

Beneficial features

Let's take a look at why intimate hygiene gel is so useful for women:

1. Gently and gently cleanses, since the composition contains a very small amount of active ingredients that easily remove dirt, but does not have a negative effect on the natural environment.
2. Does not violate the acid-base balance. The pH level of the cleanser should be neutral to avoid killing beneficial bacteria. The gel has neutral acidity, therefore it does not harm a woman.
3. Antibacterial effect. The beneficial microflora must be maintained. It breaks down quite easily, for example, a long stay in the cold or heat, frequent wearing of underwear made of synthetic materials, active sex life. The composition of the product must necessarily contain useful trace elements that help to maintain and maintain women's health. They will prevent the multiplication of microbes that can get on the mucous membrane.
4. Eliminates unpleasant odor and the cause of its appearance. Unpleasant odors can be caused by lack of proper hygiene and care, or by pathogens. Therefore, you need to pay more attention to maintaining the purity of your body. The gel contains components that destroy harmful bacteria.
5. Calming effect. Every day, our skin is exposed to perspiration, and on hot days this is especially pronounced. The intimate area is no exception. As a result of profuse sweating, redness or inflammation may develop in it. Lactic acid and extracts from medicinal herbs, which are necessarily present in the composition, are designed to eliminate these phenomena.

Features of the composition

The stores offer a huge range of products for the care of the intimate area. And when choosing, you can get confused and confused. In order not to harm your body, study the composition written on the label - it should not contain irritants or components that can cause an allergic reaction. If you are not aware of these possible problems, then you can first go to an appointment with a doctor who will help clarify this issue. In addition to the cosmetic cleansing effect, it is advisable to choose a gel that will also have a healing effect. It must be with lactic acid, herbal extracts and antiseptic agents.

Features of the composition:

• Lactic acid maintains the desired pH level of the mucous membrane. It is she who sets the structure of the gel - it should be moderately slippery and pleasant to touch. In addition, the acid kills pathogens that can harm the body.
• Herbal extracts soothe and moisturize the skin. Plants can be different - calendula, chamomile, lavender, aloe, etc. They relieve redness that can occur due to chafing of the skin, after depilation or intercourse.
• Antiseptic ingredients. If you see furacilin or chlorhexidine on the label in the composition, then you should not be very scared. These substances kill pathogens, but they can harm and useful, so you should think about purchasing such a tool.

In addition to all these components, it is advisable to choose a gel that contains substances such as panthenol - it eliminates irritation and does not dry out the mucous membrane, tea tree oil - will have a soothing effect on redness and protect against infection in the genital tract.

But in no case should the selected product contain alcohol, dyes, alkalis, flavors, since all these components will adversely affect the state of the beneficial microflora. You should also look at the shelf life, if it exceeds a calendar year, then preservatives are included in the composition, therefore, it is also better not to purchase such a product. The more chemical ingredients, the more harmful and beneficial bacteria will be destroyed, which does not always have a good effect on comfort.

Knowing what should be, and what it is better to refuse, you can easily navigate when choosing a tool and purchase a suitable one.

How to choose according to age

So, with the composition of the gel, everything has more or less cleared up, but you should not immediately run to the store to buy. There are some more nuances to consider when buying. For example, the age of the woman who will use it. After all, the gel for a young girl and a grandmother cannot be the same, since it does not meet all the conditions.

In order not to doubt the quality of the product, it is better to purchase it in pharmacies or in women's departments in special stores.

Children's gel. Before the onset of the menstrual period, girls have a very vulnerable mucous membrane, since the pH level is neutral and the natural bacterial defense has not yet been formed. This means that caring for the intimate area must be extremely delicate. For its implementation, it is necessary to purchase a product with a neutral pH value and mild ingredients in the composition. A large number of herbal ingredients will only be a plus, as they will create a protective barrier and provide comfort.

Yes mom Those who have reached childbearing age should remember that during this period the acid-base balance of the vagina changes - from neutral it becomes acidic. This creates a natural protective barrier against women's health... The composition should contain lactic acid and plant extracts, since they prevent the appearance of irritations.

Young ladies leading an active lifestyle should remember that a high rhythm of life has its own characteristics. The pH level is adversely affected by hard water, sweat, and tight clothing. These factors create all the conditions for the increased reproduction of pathogens. Means for intimate hygiene should actively protect against pathogenic microbes and maintain the acid-base environment at the desired level.

Women during pregnancy should remember that all the resources of their body are focused on the health of the child they are carrying. The pH level becomes even more acidic, which protects well against pathogens. But in an acidic environment, fungi survive, which are difficult to eliminate. Lactic acid and natural ingredients that fight fungi can help to cope with this task.

Menopause. During this period, changes occur in reproductive function women. The number of beneficial bacteria is reduced, which causes dryness and even burning. To maintain women's health during this period, a gel with a neutral pH, without lactic acid, is needed.

Contraindications

Gel for intimate hygiene is a very soft and gentle product that can be used by almost everyone and always. But even for him there are contraindications, in which you need to use it carefully or completely refuse:

• Postoperative period. During this period, you should stop using any soap-based products, as they can cause rashes and irritation.
• Delivery by cesarean section... In this case, stitches are applied that should not interact with soap or soapy water. The seams are treated with antiseptic drugs.
• Allergic reactions. Some plants and herbs that make up the composition may well be allergic, which will provoke irritation.

The content of the article:

Intimate hygiene gel is a product that helps to keep the genitals clean and healthy. But, despite this, many men and women continue to use regular soap or shower gel to care for intimate areas. This is wrong, since the condition, the thickness of the skin of the hands and genitals is different, respectively, ordinary soap can cause itching and irritation in the intimate area.

Why do you need a gel for intimate hygiene

The mucous membrane of the labia and vagina is inhabited by beneficial microorganisms. They help maintain a slightly acidic pH level and prevent the reproduction of opportunistic microflora. It is like a gate that protects the internal genital organs from infections.

By washing with ordinary soap or shower gel, which are alkaline, we remove beneficial bacteria from the external genital organs, opening the door for bacteria and infections. Over time, you may start to feel itching and burning. Candidiasis and vaginitis are common.

The approximate composition of a moisturizer for intimate hygiene:

• Lactic acid... This is a component that allows you to maintain the acidity of the mucous membrane at the desired level. It prevents the reproduction of staphylococci and fungi, as well as other opportunistic microflora. Thanks to this ingredient, the gel has a pleasant slippery and velvety texture and a light odor.
• Herbal extracts... Usually, extracts from calendula, chamomile and aloe are added to the composition. These herbs soothe irritated mucous membranes, which often happens after shaving and sexual intercourse.
• Antiseptics... Some manufacturers introduce chlorhexidine, miramistin or furacilin into the product. These are antibacterial drugs that are effective against both pathogenic and beneficial microorganisms, so you should not get carried away with the use of such funds.

Useful properties of an intimate gel

Let's take a closer look at the benefits of the gel for female intimate hygiene:

1. Gently removes dirt... In the composition of the gel for the genitals, a very small amount is superficial active substances that do not wash away the natural flora, but gently remove impurities.
2. Maintains neutral or slightly acidic pH... This is no ordinary soap with an alkaline environment. The acidity of the detergent for women's hygiene is neutral. Accordingly, the pH of the mucous membrane is not disturbed, and the beneficial lactobacilli do not disappear anywhere.
3. Protects against infections... Of course, no gel will help with a promiscuous sex life. But sometimes vaginitis and candidiasis occur due to hypothermia and wearing synthetic underwear. This is due to the death of the beneficial microflora of the genital organs. Gel for intimate places often contains lactobacilli, which are the guardians of women's health. They do not allow Escherichia coli and yeast to multiply, which live in small quantities on the mucous membrane of the vagina and labia.
4. Removes odor... Unlike regular soap, the intimate area gel does not muffle the smell and does not interrupt it with a stronger one. After using the product, the ingredients included in the composition remove pathogens, which cause the smell.
5. Soothes the skin... Often in the summer, after using panty liners and synthetic panties, the skin in the intimate area sweats. This can lead to irritation and redness. Medicinal herbs in the composition of the product and lactic acid relieve irritation and inflammation.

Contraindications to the use of intimate hygiene gel

Such funds have practically no contraindications, but in the presence of certain diseases, it is worth using the product with caution.

Contraindications to the use of an intimate gel are as follows:

• ... In the presence of open wounds, stitches or traces of cauterization of papillomas, you cannot use any soap-based products. They cause irritation and burning.
• Episiotomy delivery... If during childbirth a perineal incision was used and sutures were applied, it is worthwhile to postpone using soap-based hygiene products. The seams should be treated with antiseptics.
• Allergy... Read the composition of the product carefully. Some gels contain herbal extracts that can cause breakouts and irritation.
• Lactulose intolerance... In intimate hygiene gels from some manufacturers, lactic acid and lactulose are present. These components restore the balance of microflora on the mucous membranes. If you are lactose intolerant, choose a lactic acid-free product.

How to choose the best intimate hygiene gel

It is impossible to unambiguously single out the tool that is the best. Gel for intimate care is selected depending on the preferences and health status of the woman.

Moisturizing gel for intimate hygiene

The fair sex with frequent relapses of candidiasis and colpitis should give preference to products with lactic acid and moisturizing ingredients.
