There is no dearth of bizarre vagina-care practices on social media. From douching to vagina steaming, people are trying all sorts of mindless methods to “detox”, “freshen up” or “clean” their vaginas. But here’s the deal: meddling with your self-cleansing body part can lead to bacterial growth and infections. That said, the areas surrounding the vagina (pubic mound, labia, and the groin) are subjected to dust, sweat, and germs and can’t clean themselves. So, you’ve got to take matters into your own hands to maintain proper intimate hygiene. According to a 2017 study, all you need to do is to wash your external genitalia with a mild cleanser once or twice a day. The best and the safest way to go about it is to opt for an intimate wash. They’re usually made with natural ingredients that are gentle on your sensitive genital skin and do the job without any harm. Read on to find out how to use an intimate wash for a happy, healthy V-zone:

What Is An Intimate Wash?

Before we go on to talk about how to use an intimate wash, let’s understand what is it. An intimate wash is a milder version of a regular body wash. It’s a viscous liquid made with natural skin-purifying ingredients. It removes the dust and germ buildup on the pubic mound, groin, and vulva–without disturbing the natural acidic mantle of your sensitive genital skin.

The buildup of dust, vaginal fluids, and sweat in your intimate area can cause malodour, itching, irritation, and redness. It can also cause discomfort especially when you’re on the move. Worse still, poor intimate hygiene can lead to bacterial and fungal infections on the sensitive genital skin. Ouch! However, if you understand how to use an intimate wash and incorporate it in your daily personal care routine, the risk of vulvovaginal disorders can reduce drastically. 

How To Choose An Intimate Wash

Your V-zone is one of the most sensitive areas of your body. That’s why you’ve got to make sure to choose the right cleanser before you get into the details about how to use an intimate wash. Here’s a checklist of things you need to look for in an intimate wash:

It Should Contain Natural Ingredients

Ideally, an intimate wash should be made with natural ingredients for a gentle cleansing action. This ensures that the natural flora of your intimate area isn’t disturbed and your sensitive genital skin doesn’t break into an allergy or irritation.

It Should Be Soap-Free

Soaps can be quite harsh on your tender genital skin. They have a high pH value and can disturb the natural acidic mantle down there. Additionally, their strong cleansing action can render your genital skin dry and cause itching, irritation, and rashes.

It Should Be Unscented

The idea of your intimate area smelling like a bunch of roses might make you want to opt for a scented intimate wash. However, it can backfire and lead to irritation and pigmentation down there. That’s because scented products contain harsh and harmful chemicals. So always opt for a paraben-free, unscented intimate wash. 

Look For Nourishing Ingredients

Cleansing your intimate area should not render your genital skin dry as it can lead to irritation, inflammation, and flaking. That’s why you should always use an intimate wash with moisturising ingredients like glycerine and aloe vera so that it can cleanse and nourish the skin simultaneously.

Now that you know how to find the perfect V-zone cleanser, let’s understand how to use an intimate wash. It’s easy and all you need to do is to follow these three simple steps:

Step 1: Clean Your Hands First

Touching your sensitive genital skin with dirty hands can transfer germs to the intimate area and cause a bacterial infection. So always start by washing your hands thoroughly with soap before cleaning your private parts.

Step 2: Apply The Intimate Wash

Take a few drops of the intimate wash on your palm and use your fingers to apply it on the genital area gently. Make sure that the product is used externally and doesn’t enter the vagina, whatsoever. 

Step 3: Rinse The Intimate Area

After slathering the intimate wash on your genitals, rinse it off with warm water. Make sure that the cleanser is completely washed off to keep itching and irritation at bay. Use a fresh, clean cotton towel to pat the area dry to prevent fungal infections and dampness. And tada! You’re good to go.
