Gels for intimate care - page 3

Intimate care gels are intended for gentle hygiene of the intimate area and a daily feeling of freshness, cleanliness and comfort. Unlike regular soaps and aggressive shower products, intimate care products are adapted to the sensitive area and should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Within the Intimate hygiene category, intimate care gels are chosen according to individual sensitivity, frequency of use, dryness, discomfort or the need for gentle daily care. They are most often used externally, during showering or washing, without internal rinsing.

The intimate area may become more sensitive during menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, after physical activity, after hair removal or on warm days. During these periods, it is important to use mild products, avoid fragranced and aggressive products and monitor for itching, stinging, unpleasant odor or increased discharge.

How to choose an intimate care gel?

If you need a product for daily intimate care, Lactogyn intimate care gel 50 g can be selected. It is intended for an intimate care routine, a feeling of freshness and comfort, especially when you want a milder product than regular soap.

As an additional product for the intimate area, Biguanelle vaginal tablets 10 pcs are also available. Vaginal tablets are not the same as a gel for external intimate care and are used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, especially when vaginal discomfort is present or when recommended by a doctor, gynecologist or pharmacist.

How to use intimate care gels properly?

Intimate care gel is most often used externally during showering or washing. It is applied in a small amount to the intimate area, gently rinsed with water and not used for internal rinsing unless the manufacturer clearly states otherwise.

Excessively frequent washing with aggressive products may contribute to dryness, stinging and discomfort. After washing, the intimate area should be dried gently without rough towel rubbing. With sensitivity, it is better to choose mild formulas and avoid strong fragrances.

Intimate care gels and vaginal discomfort

Intimate care gels are intended for hygiene and comfort, but they are not a substitute for examination if symptoms of infection or repeated discomfort are present. Itching, stinging, unpleasant odor, increased or changed discharge, pain, redness or bleeding outside the cycle require professional advice.

Vaginal tablets and similar products for vaginal use are used differently from gels for external care. That is why it is important to distinguish daily intimate hygiene from products used for specific concerns or according to professional advice.

Pharmacist’s advice

Use intimate care gel externally and according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid aggressive soaps, fragranced bath products, internal rinsing and too frequent washing that may cause dryness and discomfort. If you have itching, stinging, increased discharge, unpleasant odor, pain, bleeding outside the cycle or recurring symptoms, do not rely only on hygiene products; consult a gynecologist, doctor or pharmacist.
