Fact: everything is important in intimate hygiene - how and with what you wash, how you behave on the beach, and what you eat.
You choose the wrong underwear
The question is not about fancy prints or unusual accessories (you probably will figure it out for yourself), but about texture. Choosing underwear, give preference to fabrics from natural fibers (the same cotton), writes lady.mail.ru.
Synthetics can disrupt air circulation and create favorable conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms. Add sweat to this - and you get irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, a disturbed pH balance. For the same reason, thongs (and indeed any underwear uncomfortable to wear) are not recommended for every day.
You use the usual means
Do not use soap or shower gel without the label “for intimate hygiene”. Cleansing products for the whole body upset the acid-base balance of the intimate area. Products that can be used should have a pH of 4-5, which is in line with a woman's natural pH. By the way, products with fragrances for delicate hygiene are also not recommended.
Pay attention to the composition of the intimate area: one of the best ingredients is lactic acid. It effectively normalizes the acid-base balance. Chamomile or burdock extract will also benefit, they have an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect, and aloe and hyaluronic acid moisturize.
Do not dress up swimsuit on the beach
Wet environment is favorable for the reproduction of bacteria that can cause thrush, which means that every time you swim, you need to change your swimsuit (from wet to dry).
Too often you use intimate hygiene wipes.
Despite the convenient format, these wipes are not designed for daily use. It is rather an emergency method in cases when there is no other hygiene product (for example, you are sweating a lot, find yourself in a dense forest and do not see the door with the sign “shower”).
Wrong use pads
We are talking about panty liners and panty liners created for those very days. They need to be changed every 4 hours (and if there is abundant discharge, it is better to do this every 2 hours) in order to prevent toxic shock (we hint: getting rid of it will be more difficult than getting it).
Wrong wash
It only seems that we all know about washing in the shower (for example, you probably did everything wrong all your life). The stream of water should not be sent directly into the vagina, it washes away the protective bacterial layer, which is designed to protect the body from infection from the outside. If using this method of washing you try to stifle the unpleasant smell “there”, then it is better to turn to a gynecologist - most likely it is caused by a disease.
Do not follow the diet
PP also makes itself felt. For example, if you often get thrush, limit the amount of sugar, and if you are worried about an unpleasant smell, then perhaps the fact is that this is how the body reacts to salt and alcohol. Naturally, if you have a serious illness, then food alone will not help here, but “diet” will make the situation easier.
