PR: Things About Your Intimate Area You Were Probably Too Shy to Ask

Aside from red days, your intimate area also needs additional care when you’ve gone through vaginal surgery, like when you’ve just given birth or have undergone other vaginal procedures. Since the skin is broken and is in the process of healing, you don’t want to settle for just acceptable cleanliness. Gynerpro has Chlorhexidine digluconate, a clinical-strength but gentle antiseptic ingredient , that promises thorough cleaning during monthly red days or while you’re healing from vaginal procedures.

“When else does my vajayjay need extra TLC?

I’m just really OC about cleanliness—especially

down there.”

Recognize that your intimate area will truly need some TLC on certain

days of your cycle and in certain times. Like donning different clothes for

different occasions, match an intimate wash with your vajayjay’s specific

needs at the given time. For red days that make you possibly more prone

to irritation and bacteria, level up on the antiseptic cleansers. When

healing from surgery, you don’t want to settle for just so-so cleanliness.

Level up to antiseptic cleanliness, in order to heal properly.

“How do I properly

wash my lady bits?”

Be gentle but deliberate. The point of washing your

intimate area is to keep it irritation-, itchiness-, and

infection-free. Wash around and outside the vagina

everyday, gently cleaning the folds and your vulva.

Then, rinse off well. The vagina will clean itself

inside your body with natural vaginal secretions,

so don’t worry about it. Just make sure that the

outside of your vagina or your external genitalia

vulva is cleansed properly and regularly.

“What’s the point behind giving

my lady parts extra TLC during red days?”

Menstrual blood, once discharged from the uterus into the vagina, gets

naturally contaminated with the body’s innate organisms, normally

located in the vagina. This contaminated menstrual blood will then find

its way from the vagina to the vulva or external genitalia. This happens

even on those days when you don’t have much bleeding, since your pad

may still be damp with blood and additionally with sweat from your

inguinal area. When these organisms remain in a warm and moist place

for a long time, they tend to multiply and can lead to conditions like

urinary tract infection, vaginal infections (e.g. bacterial vaginosis), and

irritation and inflammation of the vulva or external genitalia (e.g., vulvitis

or intertrigo).

“What in the world is pH balance?

Why do I have to take care of

my pH down there?”

To put it simply, pH balance is the state of acidity and alkalinity of your

vagina and external genitalia/vulva at any given time. Think: It’s almost

like the environmental conditions of a certain place, only this time it’s of

your sweet spot down-there. Maintaining the normal pH Balance of 3.8

to 4.5 in the external genitalia or vulva makes sure that your lady bits

flourish and function healthily. If the pH balance of your external

genitalia/vulva is disturbed, this can lead to infection and inflammation.

O ayan, now we know. I don’t usually accept posting press releases unless they’re significant and useful. Thanks Gynepro for these tips and tidbits for our lady bits. You know I love washing it too aside from my face LOL.
