"I have repeatedly noted how frivolous my patients are in the care and protection of their intimate area," grumbles one well-known gynecologist from Frankfurt. "There are huge amounts for specific wrinkle creams disbursed, but for the most sensitive area of all women,just a normal shower-gel!"

He is absolutely right, the doctor ! Our vagina is not only very sensitive, it is also quite sour. Their acid protection layer needs an acid pH of 4.0 - 4.6 to defense against foreign bacterias and fungi. For comparison, most other skin areas are significantly less acidic with a pH between 5.2 - 5.8.

The funny thing now is, that normal shower-gels have significantly higher pH values. Using such a product for our intimate zone, the acid-value is shifting to the local alkaline, so then our intimate protection layer can not fullfill their defense shield. Germs and fungi, which do not belong there will have free access.

Even that our body is producing milk acid throught the moisture itself. There is an unnecessary gap in protection during that time.

Now, clever people say, that we should only  use plain water for the "below area”. Sorry, water has a pH of 7.0. So, it is certainly not well adjusted and not particularly hygienic, for this area. We are expecting also a good hygiene from our partner. Also applies here: Only a well-washed penis is a good penis – not talking about the smell of it.

So, really there is also no reason really to make half things keeping that area attractive.

What we need at first is a mild, pH adjusted intimate washing lotion with good care substances. So that the body's own defense of the  female genitals is strengthen throught lactic. Of course,  without fragrances and dyes, which often bring  just irritation. Girls, with a good intimate hygiene, we do not need no aromatic waters or perfumes. We smell good anyway and anytime.

This, however, still  this is not enough. Because a wash - wherever it is taking place – is defattening the skin.  The water is rinsing,  own  care-ingredients and also the care- ingredients added from well-meaning producers, unfortunately completely off. In order to help the skin establishing the natural moisture and the important skin fat film again, you have to add an additional comprehensive care protection.

Not only, so that we can enjoy a soft and smooth skinin that area. A dry and cracked skin, unfortunately, is also ideal for the settlement of unfriendly bacterias and germs.
These beasts can hardly find a better culture-medium.
This is especially in the intimate area dangerous, because of  menstrual blood, tampons, menstrual cups, sanitary napkins, discharge, mucus, survival sperm, the proximity of the intestine - all excellent breeding-places - lead to an increased exposure to germs and fungi.

We recommend: An effective intimate care starts with a mild washing- lotion and also a protective care- lotion. Both in the adjusted pH of 4,0 - 4.5.
