Soap for intimate hygiene

It is not a secret for anyone that the intimate areas of the human body need particularly careful care. Careless attitude to this tacit postulate can lead to serious health problems not only in women but also in men and even children. Therefore it is very important to use the most suitable and natural soap for intimate hygiene.

The use of regular toilet or baby soap for intimate hygiene is unacceptable. This leads to a violation of microflora, the possibility of the appearance of any diseases and discomfort. Therefore, it is very important to use a suitable tool.

You can buy intimate soap for men or women separately, as well as for children. Before puberty, the child can be washed with ordinary baby soap or toilet soap without fragrances and additives. Since the beginning of puberty, you must begin to use special tools.

It should also be understood that soap for intimate hygiene can be either a conventional cleanser or prophylactic. Therefore, it is very important that for the first time it is the gynecologist who prescribes or recommends the most appropriate means.

In most cases, for men suitable conventional female means for intimate hygiene. Adults, especially those living in the same family, can use the same remedy unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor. In some pharmacies, you can also purchase special men's soaps for intimate hygiene, although the composition of such a product is practically no different from women's.

At the word “soap,” a person usually imagines a solid bar of detergent that starts to foam when in contact with water and friction. But intimate soap is a different matter. Today, all products designed for intimate hygiene are characterized as follows:

1. Gel - This is the most common product for hygiene. Light texture and a pleasant texture provide an economical consumption and very thorough and careful cleansing. Intense foaming does not occur, and the product itself has a virtually elusive flavor and the most safe composition. Ideal for people with very sensitive skin. Many people believe that gel is liquid soap, but this is not entirely true.
2. Standard solid soap. In appearance, it is very similar to the toilet, but does not incorporate dyes, flavors and harmful or aggressive additives. It is also used as a conventional cleansing solid. But it is better to first slightly wet the bar, rub it in your hands until the appearance of the foam, and only then apply it to the necessary area.
3. Foams and mousses are practically weightless and have the same characteristics as gels. They are usually used for daily hygiene and they are best suited to young girls or adolescents during puberty.

For adults for daily hygiene manufacturers today produce the following types of products:

• Whitening This soap helps to get rid of freckles and pigmentation in the intimate part of the body.
• Medical soap from infections should be written out and recommended by the gynecologist or urologist. For daily use, this product is not suitable and usually it is one of the components of complex treatment, for example, for thrush. Such a product should be used by both partners if necessary.
• Hygienic tool for daily use. Typically, the Ph of such agents is neutral, and the effect of the application becomes a pure intimate zone without any unpleasant sensations.
• In a separate category, you can make a means for washing away after childbirth and during pregnancy. It is in these cases that care should be as delicate as possible, and cleansing effective.
• During critical days it is recommended to use the appropriate gel, designed specifically for this period of time in the life of a woman.
• On sale now even intimate soap for babies is found. It has no dyes and preservatives, odorless and harmful additives.

If the package says that the product is hypoallergenic, then it is. This is explained by the fact that there are no flavors in the composition, such additives as essential oils, but there is lactic acid. It helps to control the acid-base balance in the intimate zone and protects it from pathogens.

In some products intended for washing, surfactants, fragrances, preservatives and lauryl sulfate are present. They provide a long shelf life, pleasant aroma and increased foaming. If the package indicates that the agent is alkaline, then it contains natural alkali.

Also often in the composition there is water, betaine or panthenol, extracts, oils and decoctions of medicinal plants, for example, tea tree, aloe, chamomile or licorice. Not without antiseptics and various fats. They are responsible for the normal moisture and protection of intimate places after such care.

I would also like to note that women, often suffering from thrush and candidiasis, should prefer a means that contains tar in its composition. This component has a powerful antiseptic properties, as well as perfectly and deeply cleanses the skin. It is also possible to use ordinary tar soap, but not too often.

The composition is the main selection criterion. The product to be purchased should be free of colorants, flavors, preservatives and parabens. It is recommended to give preference to the soap, which consists of substances with antibacterial effect, the desired vegetable origin and lactic acid. It is desirable that there are ingredients with regenerating and soothing properties. It can be extracts, oils and decoctions of herbs, for example, aloe, patchouli or yarrow.

Acid-base balance means must be neutral, and the product itself is suitable for daily use, but only in cases when it comes to standard means. Preventive and therapeutic soap should be purchased and used according to the recommendations of the doctor.

It is necessary to wash in the following sequence:

1. Wet intimate areas with water and lightly rinse them from front to back, but not vice versa.
2. Apply a small portion of the selected funds on the palm, lightly foam.
3. Evenly distribute the tool in intimate places and soft movements to foam it again.
4. Rinse the crotch thoroughly with water from front to back.
