Maintaining personal hygiene is important for health, but overdoing it can sometimes backfire and disrupt the body's natural balance. Here are some practical tips to ensure optimal hygiene without upsetting this balance.
1
Avoid excessive personal hygiene and vaginal douching: Excessive personal hygiene disrupts the balance of vaginal flora and may lead to vaginal infections, the symptoms of which include foul-smelling vaginal discharge.
2
Say no to gloves, they are real strongholds for germs: wash your hands.
3
Choose your personal hygiene product carefully: Personal hygiene should be done using a product with a physiological pH.
4
After personal hygiene, dry yourself thoroughly using a soft cloth.
5
When using the toilet, always remember to wipe from front to back: from the vagina to the anus, not the other way around, as this will introduce potentially pathogenic digestive bacteria back into the vulva.
6
During your period, change your menstrual protection frequently: this helps prevent irritation and infection.
7
In the bathroom, it is preferable to take a shower rather than a bath.
8
Avoid wearing synthetic clothing: Prefer natural materials such as cotton.
9
Avoid tight underwear that increases friction: choose comfortable models that do not cause irritation.
10
Wash your underwear at a temperature of at least 60°C: preferably separately from other clothes to ensure the best hygiene.
By following these tips, you can effectively maintain the cleanliness and health of your intimate area without compromising your body's natural balance.
