If you still have any questions about intimate hygiene (whether boy or girl), the answers may be in this article. Check it out now!
Brazil may even have a liberal air, however, that is not exactly how it works in practice. Our country has a very strong conservative air, and topics such as male and female genitals are taboo.
Doubt? Arrive in a conversation circle (that is not a teenager, of course) and start a conversation with the words penis or vagina. You will see almost everyone at the table turn red instantly.
It looks funny? It is not. When a subject is not usually talked about and ends up being veiled, the risks of lack of knowledge are enormous. This can have dangerous consequences, such as diseases in the genital area.
Even within a doctor’s office there can be a fear of talking about the subject. While the patient may be embarrassed to address certain topics, the doctor may be afraid to speak up and the patient will feel offended.
Shall we end this taboo? The Women’s Area brought some taboo topics for us to talk about and, finally, you can come out of this darkness on certain topics. Is ready? Let’s go?
Check out everything you need to know about intimate hygiene
Hair removal
As incredible as it may seem, waxing is not linked to hygiene. Waxing is more linked to each person’s personal tastes. For intimate hygiene, the only correct thing to do is to always trim your hair, so that cleaning becomes simpler.
For both men and women, it’s okay not to shave. If you leave your hair, extra care is needed with cleaning, especially before sex. For those who want to shave, you have to be careful about damaging the skin and causing ingrown hairs. Using antibacterial soaps helps with this task.
Before and after sex
When it comes to sex, hygiene before and after sex is necessary. It is necessary to wash the genitals before rubbing and having anal sex, it is necessary to clean the back parts, but it is not necessary to shower, as this can hurt the anal canal.
After sex it is also necessary to wash, however, just soap and water is enough. At the immediate end of sexual intercourse, wipe with a damp cloth; there is no need to run out to take a shower. But don’t wait too long for this either.
To shower
After contact with male semen or after menstruating, it seems like the first thing to do is run and clean yourself up. It turns out that this can exterminate certain bacteria that could be your allies.
Showering is not a good idea. Inserting the shower hose or even your finger inside the vagina is an attitude capable of disrupting the bacteria in the local flora.
Intimate soap
For most professionals, water does not remove all the dirt from the deepest intimate area. For deeper cleaning, stronger products are needed, such as intimate soap.
The main attribute of the product aimed at the vulva is that it keeps the pH of the area close to ideal, that is, more acidic. Rose gives another reason to invest in them: their low penetration into the skin, which reduces the likelihood of dryness.
Baby wipes
The wet wipe for intimate areas is good, however, it should not be used frequently. It should be used in very specific situations, such as when you amend one commitment to another, and need to stay clean. It also works to cleanse yourself after sex.
Intimate deodorant
The intimate region is an area that is already hydrated by nature, so it is not necessary to use a lot of creams for this region. Intimate deodorant is also not recommended. If there is a bad smell in the area, you should see a doctor.
Dirty laundry
Panties must be washed in running water and with neutral soap. If machine washed, do not mix with other items. Fabric softener is also interesting. After cleaning, the piece needs to dry well in the sun. Cotton models should be preferred. This is a natural fabric, which leaves the intimate area airy.
The least popular material among doctors is lycra, which makes it difficult for the skin to breathe. Want one more tip? Sleep without panties, your vagina will thank you.
