Many girls mistakenly believe that regular shower gel or baby soap is suitable for intimate hygiene. Gynecologists warn that such inattention to the most delicate places can result in problems with microflora - simply thrush. The fact is that maintenance of acid-base balance is especially important in this part of our body. If you use regular soap, this balance shifts towards more alkaline (while the environment in this zone should be acidic), and the fragile microflora becomes susceptible to bacteria.

Moreover, the means for the intimate zone do not contain soap at all. They have a pH of 4-5, which corresponds to a woman's natural pH. For comparison: the pH of baby soap can go up to 7, and normal - up to 9. In other words, the risk of upsetting the balance of bacteria in the most delicate places is very high, if you do not use special cosmetics.

After all, you don't put hand cream on your face or wash your hair with shower gel, do you? Intimate places deserve no less attention than the skin of the face or hair.

Gel for intimate hygiene Intimate Natural from Nivea

Nivea soft cleansing gel pleases not only with its affordable price, but also with its composition, in which you will not find alkaline soaps and dyes. True, the product still has a perfume, but it is barely noticeable and delicate - the gel has a deodorizing effect, but it should not cause allergies (just in case, conduct an allergy test before use). The product contains chamomile extract and lactic acid to help neutralize inflammation and soothe the skin.

Price: 190 rub.

Gel for intimate hygiene Lactacyd Femina

You will not find this product in a regular store - Lactacyd gel is sold only in a pharmacy. In its composition, the gel contains lactic acid and milk serum (lactoserum) to maintain normal microflora. The product is consumed very economically - a few drops are enough for one application. In addition, we liked the texture of the gel - silky and delicate.

Price: 210 rub.

Sesderma Intimate Hygiene Gel

This product contains burdock extract, panthenol and even hyaluronic acid soothing the skin! Still, the most delicate places also need special care and attention to ensure that the skin remains elastic as long as possible. In addition, the gel removes minor inflammatory processes of the mucous membrane, significantly reduces the risk of thrush.

Price: 2400 rub.

Gel for intimate hygiene Carefree Sensitive

One of the best options for daily intimate care - the gel is inexpensive, economical and, most importantly, suitable for very sensitive skin. The gel is whipped into a light foam, has a subtle aroma and deodorizing effect. True, the packaging lacks a dispenser - in this sense, the product is inferior to its competitors.

Price: 170 rub.

Gel for feminine hygiene SebaMed

Another pharmacy product on our list is SebaMed gel with a low pH of 3.8. Manufacturers claim that intimate hygiene gel is suitable for young girls, who mostly have a slightly acidic balance - this is precisely why the pH level is slightly underestimated. This gel has a fragrance, but it is also light and subtle. And the composition contains natural ingredients - panthenol, virgin walnut extract and betaine, which relieve inflammation and restore the microflora of the delicate zone.

Price: 350 rub.

Gel for feminine hygiene "Epigen Intim"

Like most gels for intimate hygiene, "Epigen" contains lactic acid in its composition - you guessed it that it helps to maintain the correct balance. But unlike similar products, this gel also contains glycyrrhizic acid, which fights bacteria better than others. That is why we do not recommend using the product every day, it is more suitable for some problematic moments - for example, after intercourse, during menstruation, or if you are simultaneously treating thrush. In this sense, the gel will be the best helper!

From birth, intimate hygiene is extremely important. If in infancy the skin of the whole body is tender and needs care, then when growing up, only some parts of the body require special care. These places include the intimate area, face and armpits. To this end, manufacturers of cosmetics have begun to improve the usual soap. As a result, they came up with a very mild and useful product for intimate hygiene, which only improved with the development of medicine and science. In 2020, there are already various products for every taste, for every woman, such as foams, creams, oils and mousses.

The intimate zone has a special environment for the emergence of microorganisms that maintain a slightly acidic Ph level, which is a barrier to the emergence of pathogenic bacteria and various fungal diseases. Soaps and various shower creams are not suitable for running, because they disrupt the microflora, destroy it, which is why beneficial bacteria can no longer appear, which is a serious violation of the beneficial environment. Special products of gel-like, creamy or mousse texture gently and gently cleanse without deforming the acid-base balance, maintain the required Ph level and help the body fight diseases and disorders.

There are differences in application and consistency. Creams, as everyone knows, do not need to be washed off, and foams are a faster option, since they are washed off quite easily and comfortably, leaving no traces behind, only cleanliness and a pleasant smell. Gels, on the other hand, have a thicker (soapy) consistency, which helps to quickly clean the entire area.

The composition of such funds is approximately the same with some differences:

  • Lactic acid. It is this element that guarantees the right acid-base environment, supporting beneficial microorganisms.
  • Various herbs. Manufacturers usually add extracts of aloe, chamomile, calendula. They give a good smell and various effects that have a beneficial effect on the microflora.
  • Antiseptics. It is usually added to correct the imbalance between good and bad bacteria. They are used to treat various diseases. But overuse is harmful and not recommended.
  • Oils. They add a good scent, moisturize and nourish. Tea tree oil is usually used.
  • D-panthenol. It is a vitamin that nourishes the skin, accelerates regeneration, and has a soothing effect on irritation.

How to choose the right one?

In order to carry out the best selection of a delicate remedy, it is recommended to visit a specialist (therapist, gynecologist). But if a trip to the clinic is not included in your plans, then you can choose according to the characteristics on the Internet sites or go to the nearest cosmetic boutique. But it is worth noting that there is much more choice in the global network, there is delivery and reasonable prices. You can also compare the product, which makes the purchase more useful and effective.

What characteristics should you look at when choosing a gel

  1. Composition... Some components may be intolerant, allergic. This is also why the parameter can determine the quality of the product.
  2. Gel type... There are various effects that drugs cause:
  • Moisturizing;
  • Antibacterial;
  • Eliminates unpleasant odor;
  • Calming;
  • Cleaning.

At what price to choose? Each remedy will work, something stronger, something weaker. But the effect will always be. The price is influenced by the composition, manufacturer, shape of the vessel, country of production.

  1. Manufacturer... Different scientists work in different countries, different people create a product. Which, of course, will have a distinctive effect. There are foreign brands that have already firmly occupied the market, but they are usually in the middle price segment. Domestic manufacturers are more affordable and of the same quality.
  2. It is worth paying attention to contraindications to use:

There are tons of tools, but which manufacturer is the best, which company to choose in 2020?

Each company has its own peculiarity. Depending on the preferences of buyers, they focus on one or another nuance. The selection is made individually.

The opinion of gynecologists

To get an answer to the question "which one to buy", you should consult a doctor.

It is worth a more responsible approach to intimate hygiene at any age. But there are a few points worth knowing:


Returning to the composition:

  • Triclosan is added to many gels. This element can be used on an ongoing basis only by people with weakened immunity. It is addictive to harmful bacteria and counteracts the effects of antibiotics that make life difficult. Such intimate funds should be used only on the recommendation of a specialist.

  • It is desirable that the gels contain as little dyes, preservatives, alcohol and alkali as possible. The funds must be natural. If they are, then there should not be any consequences in the form of a rash, redness, irritation, an increase in the number of secretions and other consequences. The composition may include tea tree oil, which heals inflammation and is used for medicinal purposes.
  • Calendula and chamomile are natural antiseptics, that is, they relieve irritation and remove some of the pathogenic bacteria. Other medicinal plants and essential oils can also be used. Such as: oak bark (protective effect), thyme (soothes burning sensation), marigold extract (antifungal effect), common blood (enhances regeneration), mimosa and millennial (are antiseptics and soothe irritation).

Instructions for use

It is advisable to apply the product for intimate hygiene at least once or twice a day. First, dampen your skin with clean water. Apply a small amount of gel to the intimate area, this should be done from the clitoris back. Because the microorganisms of these zones are different. And bacteria from the anus are extremely harmful to the microflora of the vagina. Foam the liquid and rinse thoroughly with water. This procedure should be done during menstruation, before and after intimacy with a partner.

The benefits of an intimate gel have been proven. It supports and improves the microflora of the female genital organs, relieves itching, burning, gives freshness, cools and gives comfort. But if used incorrectly (too frequent use) and if carelessly selected a care product, the body will be harmed. Not only allergies can occur, but also an imbalance in Ph, the appearance of diseases such as candidiasis and vaginitis. Also, these diseases arise due to dysbiosis, climate change, long antibiotic treatment, frequent change of partners.When violations occur, you should immediately contact a specialist and begin a course of treatment. In no case should you do this yourself.

Often, after hair removal in the bikini area, dryness, irritation, and peeling appear on the skin. Doctors recommend using a cream in this case. Because it moisturizes, nourishes and lasts much longer than a gel or other product. It is advised to apply it before going to the beach or pool.

Adhering to the rules of intimate hygiene is a useful habit that should be in the life of every person.

And here we will talk in a woman's way.

I want to raise the issue of intimate hygiene gels and other products to maintain women's health. Once I heard the question, which gel for intimate hygiene is better, and so the basis for this article arose. But in the course of writing it had to be expanded, and it will not only be about underwashers.

And to begin with, the question is - is it generally needed, such a gel? After all, they used to somehow manage with soap? And the most ordinary. And nothing, gave birth to children, survived the war.

So, let's deal with this issue.

What is intimate hygiene gel for?

First, a little theory.

You've probably heard the phrase "acid-base balance", which is determined in a certain pH value.

pH (from potentia hydrogeni - the strength of hydrogen) is a value that indicates the level of acidity of the environment. Conventionally, there are three states of the environment:

  • Neutral
  • Sour
  • Alkaline

And this very pH shows the degree of acidity or alkalinity. The level of acidity in the vagina is quite high - the pH is about 4. And at different periods of life it can fluctuate. For example, it differs in adolescent girls and women in menopause.

If we use soap for intimate hygiene (even if), we significantly disrupt the acid-base balance.

And this leads to dysbiosis caused by a change in the internal environment. Some of the bacteria that are used to living in a fairly acidic environment die. Others are starting to develop. And hence all further troubles arise.

Thus, it becomes clear that the use of intimate hygiene products for women is quite reasonable and highly desirable. Yes, our grandmothers did without him. But this does not mean that we should.

But not only the pH level is the main indicator when choosing products for intimate hygiene. In Thailand, it is not indicated at all, but you can often read a phrase that, translated into Russian, means: normalizes the pH level.

What other tasks can an intimate hygiene gel cope with?

Modern "washers" are capable of a lot! In the assortment of Thai shops there are gels for intimate hygiene with a whitening, cooling, rejuvenating, tightening, firming, softening and deodorizing effect.

Good intimate hygiene gels prevent thrush from taking antibiotics and even eliminate unpleasant intimate odors. But not everything is so simple, so in this article I decided to expand on the issue of an unpleasant intimate smell in women.

Why does the intimate area smell bad?

This question worries many. No matter how good a woman looks, no matter how well-groomed her face, hands and hair, no matter how expensively she is dressed, no matter how beautiful she is, one small and unpleasant detail can ruin everything ...

"The smell of a woman" in the intimate area is an absolutely normal phenomenon inherent in everyone. It is there that natural pheromones are produced, and this smell is practically not felt in a healthy woman who observes all the rules of hygiene. But sometimes it happens that there is an unpleasant odor from the vagina, discharge, itching and burning.

The reasons for an unpleasant odor from the intimate area are very diverse:

By the nature of the smell that has appeared and the accompanying manifestations, you can roughly determine the root of the problem. Of course, you should not cancel the tests and visits to the gynecologist. There are several typical unpleasant odors, each of which signals the presence of a particular problem:

  • Sour smell from the intimate area, the causes of which are most likely a manifestation of thrush. Sometimes this smell is identified as "yeast". In this case, there is a white discharge of the curd structure. It is usually caused by fungal infections. The disease is most often caused by the bacteria Candida.
  • Fishy smell from the intimate area signals the presence of dysbiosis and infection. Sometimes there is also a pronounced itching and burning sensation when it smells like fish from the intimate area. If the causes of the herring smell in the intimate area are not treated, the disease can go deeper and manifest itself in the uterus and ovaries. To identify the pathogen and prescribe adequate treatment, an examination is necessary with the delivery of all the necessary tests.
  • Rotten smell from the intimate area, the cause of which may be caused by the activity of the bacterium gardnerella, is often accompanied by a grayish-white discharge. This is also to the gynecologist for analyzes and treatment.
  • Onion smell of secretions in women, it can signal both the presence of dysbiosis and the presence of a sexually transmitted disease. It is also better not to joke with this, you will not do with "underwash" alone.
  • Discharge that smells like urine in women, they most often manifest themselves in adulthood, the problem is caused by urine leakage due to weakness of the pelvic muscles and the genitourinary system. Washers won't help here either.

If you experience any of the above or abnormal symptoms, you should contact your gynecologist. After the tests received, the doctor will be able to more accurately identify the cause of the problem. He will prescribe treatment - perhaps antibiotics to suppress the activity of a particular bacterium.

If the source of the problem is not found, or the prescribed treatment does not give the expected results, alternatively, you can try products that have received good reviews over the years of use.

Let's start with the simplest. If you suspect that you are having a reaction to the product with which you wash your underwear, replace it with a more natural one. Here you can recommend or use, unlike ordinary laundry soap, it leaves a subtle pleasant coconut smell on things.

What folk remedies help get rid of an unpleasant intimate smell?

Foam is more gentle than gel. The composition contains lactic acid, milk powder. Extracts include chamomile, royal jelly, manuka honey. This foam just enhances the local immunity of the intimate area.

Volume 100 ml. The well-known manufacturer of cosmetics Mistine, familiar to many for its high quality. Compliance with the declared properties of this foam was checked by the manufacturer in a European laboratory.

The composition contains lactic acid, milk whey. Extracts - brown seaweed, Hikama root. This is a specific foam, it is produced only in the Asian market. In addition to the main function, the components in the gel are designed to help provide lightening of the intimate area.

According to the manufacturer's statistics obtained during testing on the Asian market, 9 out of 10 women noted the whitening effect.

The gel has a very economical consumption, and it is loved by those who used it. According to those who left their reviews, all other products after using this gel have lost their place on the shelf.

GMP certification. Volume 150 ml. A well-known manufacturer, large pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis. There are good reviews.

This company also has an intimate gel "ultra protection", "refreshing" - with a bunch of plant extracts in the composition, moisturizing and "renewing" with collagen in the composition. These gels are made for the Asian market and differ from those sold in Russia. As a European, the whole line suited me perfectly. The refreshing gel is especially good in the hot climate of Thailand, after which a pleasant coolness remains for a long time in the intimate area.

If you are interested, leave a comment on the article which type of intimate hygiene gel from this company from Thailand you want to try, and I will add it to the range.

The same manufacturer Mistine. Among the additional components is the extract of the herb Hee Yum, known for its wound healing and regenerating properties.

Yes Yes! This is the same herb that is included in capsules and natural intimate deodorant. And the best result in solving the problem of unpleasant odor from the intimate area is achieved with an integrated approach.

Also in the composition of manuka honey - has antibacterial, antifungal properties.

Instead of artificial perfume compositions, there is lavender essential oil, which also has antibacterial properties and enhances local immunity.

According to buyers of this gel, it helps to cope with unpleasant odors, relieves dryness and itching, and gives a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. Someone noted a narrowing effect, while others did not. But there were no dissatisfied with the gel - everyone recommends it.

Good feedback. Economical, a 200 ml bottle is enough for 2-3 months.

So, let's summarize:

  1. Gel for intimate hygiene is not exclusively a marketing ploy, and the modern woman needs it.
  2. There are gels for intimate hygiene that not only cleanse and maintain ph balance, but also have a lot of interesting and useful properties.
  3. It is desirable that the composition contains fewer chemical components and more useful active components of natural origin.

And be healthy!

Everyone knows that a woman's health depends on many factors. Compliance with the rules of intimate hygiene is one of the conditions necessary for a woman to observe in order to maintain her health.

For many women, pregnancy is a problem. Alas, the negative impact of the environment on the health of women often leads to infertility, as well as the multiplication of various diseases that have a significant impact on the conception of a baby.

It is worth noting that the intimate organs of any woman have a rather delicate structure, and are also very vulnerable. The uterine cavity is rightfully considered sterile, and any woman knows what its role in conception is.

In the case of the penetration of infection and microbes into the uterine cavity, the process of diseases involuntarily begins to develop, which is rather difficult to get rid of. Hygiene rules must be followed to prevent the formation of various kinds of diseases.

Hygiene rules

There are several rules for intimate hygiene that a woman should know about:

What is PH Balance?

PH balance is a measure of the ratio of acid to alkali.

The proportion is significantly influenced by charged ions, which can be both positive and negative.

The role of ions is to form an acidic and alkaline environment. Acid-base balance is the balance of acid and alkali.

Why do you need a gel for intimate hygiene?

Doctors insist that any woman needs to wash herself steadily twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, respectively, without using any cosmetics and even more so with soap.

Cosmetic products are allowed for use, but you can wash with different gels and other means no more than twice a week. At other times, it is better to give the choice to clean running water.

It must be remembered that microorganisms can easily penetrate into the mucous membrane of the vagina itself, as well as the adjacent labia. Such components are important for the vaginal environment. They affect the level of acid-base balance, the preservation of which is extremely necessary for a woman's health.

Moreover, microorganisms help block the reproduction of opportunistic microflora, from which women suffer in the future. In other words, microorganisms - let's say, a gate that prevents infection from entering and spreading into the vagina.

By washing with soap every day, we harm ourselves and remove the necessary protective shell. The risk of getting an infection increases significantly and the woman does not notice in the future how the diseases begin their active development already directly in the vagina.

Removing bacteria that play an important role in a woman's health results in diseases that are not easy to get rid of. The most common diseases are vaginal dysbiosis and. Diseases are accompanied by itching and burning in the intimate area.

Gel for intimate hygiene and will be an excellent solution to ensure the necessary hygiene of intimate places. It is impossible not to pay attention to the composition of the gels available on the market today.

The composition is based on the following components:

What is better soap or gel?

Of course, soap is able to cleanse the vagina from all the secretions accumulated in this area, and also helps to eliminate odor.

Evaluating the benefits of gel and soap, you should still opt for a gel designed specifically for intimate hygiene. Why? It is better to leave the soap for washing underwear and for other purposes.

After all, the use of such a tool contributes not only to the formation of dryness of the skin in intimate places, but also to the destruction of the acid-base balance necessary to protect the vagina from microbes and infection. It is better to give the choice to intimate hygiene gel.

It is recommended to wash with intimate hygiene gels twice a week, no more. The reason for the development of many diseases in a woman's body is the neglect of the use of laundry soap, which destroys the necessary environment to protect against infections and bacteria.

What is good about the gel?

Gel for intimate hygiene has several advantages:

The use of the gel twice a week will be quite enough for the woman's healthy condition and the ability to maintain a favorable environment in the vagina in order to protect against harmful microbes and bacteria.

Features of the composition

What are the compositional features of the gel?

  1. Firstly, the gel does not help dry out the skin in an intimate place. This is one of the main advantages.
  2. Secondly, the gel does not wash out the acid-alkaline environment that protects the vagina from infection and microbes.
  3. Thirdly, the gel contains herbs, relieving a woman from itching, if any.

How to choose a gel for intimate hygiene?

How to choose the very intimate hygiene gel that is suitable for a woman and does not cause irritation after use?

Types of gel for intimate hygiene

Conditionally gels for intimate hygiene are divided into moisturizing and cleansing. What's the difference and which one is the best to choose?

Moisturizing

Moisturizing gels for intimate hygiene are necessary when a woman's skin around her vagina is dry.

This usually happens with frequent washing with soap. As you know, soap helps to dry the skin.

This type of gels is chosen by women who need to moisturize the skin. Of course, the formula and composition of such a product will be aimed at obtaining hydration.

In the process of application, you can already notice in the near future that the mucous membrane has disappeared.

This is what a woman with such a problem needs to achieve. Gels of this type contain, first of all, lactic acid. It is necessary to pay utmost attention to this when choosing a product. The composition must necessarily contain lactic acid, if the goal is to purchase a gel for intimate hygiene to moisturize the mucous membrane.

Cleaning

Intimate cleansing gels are designed to remove from the vagina as well as the daily secretions produced by any woman.

Of course, the purpose of such a product, like other gels intended for intimate hygiene, is to maintain the acid-base balance during cleansing.

Cleansing the intimate area from secretions, it is possible to get rid of the acid-base environment, it is necessary for the health of a woman.

When choosing a hygiene product, it is important to choose something that really cleans the intimate area, without getting rid of beneficial microbes that perform a protective function against the development of various diseases.

There are as many cleansing gels as there are moisturizers. In most cases, gels are found that simultaneously help cleanse and moisturize.

How do you know if a gel is not right for you?

Often, of course, there are frustrations after using intimate hygiene gels.

Contraindications to use
