Intimate hygiene - page 3

Intimate hygiene is an important part of everyday care, especially for women with a sensitive intimate area, irritation, dryness, burning, discomfort or recurring vaginal imbalance. Properly selected intimate care products help support natural comfort and vaginal balance.

Unlike ordinary soaps and shower gels, intimate hygiene products should be gentle and adapted to the sensitive intimate area. Aggressive soaps, perfumed products and excessive washing may disturb the natural flora and cause dryness, itching, burning or irritation.

When are intimate hygiene products used?

• for everyday intimate care
• after antibiotic therapy
• during periods of vaginal discomfort
• for dryness, burning and irritation
• for support of the vaginal mucosa and natural balance

Pharmacist’s advice

Intimate hygiene should be gentle and not excessive. If symptoms such as unpleasant odor, changed discharge, strong itching, pain or burning during urination appear or repeat, consult a gynecologist.
