What is Feminine Hygiene Wash?

Feminine hygiene wash is a mild cleansing compound designed to clean the intimate area from harmful agents and help balance the vaginal pH.

A woman’s intimate area is often moist and can be a haven for various disease-causing bacteria. Therefore, using appropriate cleansing solutions will not only help you feel clean and fresh but also effectively prevent the risk of infections and yeast infections.

Benefits of Using Feminine Hygiene Wash

Using a suitable, quality-assured feminine hygiene wash can improve women’s intimate health due to the following benefits:

• Cleanses the vulva: Using feminine hygiene wash ensures the intimate area stays clean and dry, especially during menstruation, heavy vaginal discharge, before and after intercourse, or during hot and humid weather.
• Balances the microflora: Good quality feminine hygiene washes create an ideal environment for Lactobacillus – a beneficial bacteria that helps maintain a stable vaginal pH and supports the elimination of harmful pathogens.
• Balances pH levels: Feminine hygiene wash helps maintain a stable vaginal pH (typically ranging from 3.8 to 4.2), creating a suitable environment for beneficial microorganisms and bacteria to thrive and protect the intimate area.
• Controls vaginal discharge: The vagina naturally secretes mucus as a self-cleaning mechanism. However, sometimes excessive vaginal discharge can cause the intimate area to become more moist than usual, leading to discomfort and susceptibility to infection. Using feminine hygiene wash can help manage this condition.
• Prevents gynecological diseases: Feminine hygiene wash can eliminate bacteria, candida yeast, and trichomonas, protecting women’s intimate health from disease-causing agents.

Criteria for Choosing a Safe Feminine Hygiene Wash

pH Level Suitable for Intimate Physiology

It is essential to choose a feminine hygiene wash with a pH level suitable for the intimate area to balance moisture, maintain beneficial microflora, and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. The ideal pH for the intimate area is around 3.8 – 4.5, so check the pH level when selecting a wash to ensure it is right for you.

Cleanses Without Causing Irritation

Choose products with natural ingredients to avoid irritating the intimate area. The combination of herbs such as rose, chamomile, aloe vera, etc., with special ingredients like collagen and vitamin E, not only cleanses but also softens and keeps the skin dry.

Odor Control

A stronger fragrance doesn’t necessarily mean better odor control. Products with strong scents often contain many fragrance ingredients that can disrupt the physiological balance and eliminate beneficial bacteria in the intimate area. Therefore, it’s better to choose a wash with a mild scent.

Free of Foaming Agents and Parabens

Absolutely avoid using products containing parabens and foaming agents. These chemicals are not recommended for use in cosmetics because they can erode the skin, causing dryness, itching, and irritation. Long-term use can lead to vaginal infections and other gynecological problems.

Moisturizes and Soothes Skin

Because it’s a cleanser, feminine hygiene wash can sometimes cause dehydration, making the intimate area dry and itchy. Therefore, prioritize products containing moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, panthenol, aloe vera extract, etc., to help maintain natural moisture.

Safe and Gentle Ingredients

The intimate area is sensitive and easily damaged. Infections can be difficult to detect early and often recur. When purchasing daily feminine hygiene wash, choose products containing ingredients that deep clean, are antibacterial, and balance pH, such as lactic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, etc., and natural extracts like betel leaf, green tea, etc.

Also, avoid products with overly strong fragrances to prevent irritation from artificial fragrances and industrial scents.

Reputable and Trusted Brand

Choose feminine hygiene wash from reputable brands with safety certifications. These products have been used by many consumers, making it easier to research user experiences before making a purchase.

Currently, many intimate care and hygiene products of unknown origin and ingredients are being sold on the market. To avoid counterfeit, fake, or low-quality products, you can purchase feminine hygiene wash at AVAKids stores or through the avakids.com website.

Precautions When Using Feminine Hygiene Wash

• Be careful when choosing feminine hygiene washes. Purchase from stores and supermarkets that distribute genuine products and learn how to distinguish between real and fake products.
• During puberty, girls’ bodies begin to show physiological signs such as vaginal discharge, menstruation, body odor, etc., so they can start using cleansing solutions for their sensitive areas.
• Wash your hands with hand soap before cleaning the intimate area to limit the transfer of bacteria from your hands to the vagina.
• Gently wash the external genitals only. Never douche or insert anything into the vagina to avoid damaging the mucous membranes.
• Avoid using feminine hygiene wash too frequently if your intimate health is stable and normal (not during menstruation/no gynecological infection). Overusing cleansers can disrupt the vaginal pH balance, eliminate beneficial bacteria, and increase the risk of dryness, irritation, and itching in the intimate area.
• Depending on your individual skin type, choose products with natural ingredients and a gentle pH to avoid irritation or dryness.
• During the first few days of your period, if your menstrual flow is heavy, wash your intimate area with a small amount of feminine hygiene wash 2-3 times a day, in addition to changing sanitary napkins and wiping frequently. Cleaning should be done immediately after urinating or defecating, as bodily waste can contain pathogens harmful to the genitals.

• If you experience any signs of allergy, rash, or irritation, stop using the feminine hygiene wash immediately and consult a gynecologist. Bring the feminine hygiene product you are using to the appointment so the doctor can assess and determine the cause of the allergy.
