Gentle intimate care starts with choosing the right product. Conventional shower gels, soaps, and bath additives are often scented; traditional soaps in particular can have an alkaline pH. The sensitive skin of the external intimate area may react with dryness or irritation. The vagina has its own usually slightly acidic environment, with a pH of around 3.8 to 4.5 during the reproductive years. Lukewarm water is often enough for external intimate care. If you would also like to use a wash, choose a formula that is as gentle and well tolerated as possible. The vagina itself does not need to be cleaned.
Natural intimate washes use mild surfactants and select nourishing ingredients. For example, Hyaluronic-Lactic Intimate Wash by Mádara combines lactic acid to support pH balance with hydrating hyaluronic acid and soothing burdock root extract. Gentle Cleanser by Biofficina Toscana has a pH of 5 and plant-based surfactants, making it suitable for gentle cleansing of the face, body, and external intimate area.
Natural Intimate Oils and Lubricants
The right texture is important for intimate care and intimate moments, too. The water-based Soft Wave Lubricant by Sitre provides comfortable glide with aloe vera and can be used with condoms. Body Melt Care & Intimacy Oil is a versatile care and massage oil with macadamia, jojoba, and argan oils - also suitable for post-shave care. Important: Do not use Body Melt with condoms. A high-quality intimate accessory from Sitre completes the selection.
