The beauty of any woman is natural. But also for natural natural gifts it is necessary to watch and look after. First of all, caring for yourself is a guarantee of health. And intimate hygiene is no exception. Many ladies are mistaken about the fact that it's enough to just wash yourself out with soap and water for the night and that's it. In fact, women's hygiene is a collective concept, which includes not only banal washing and showering. First of all, we need to find out what can and can not be done. 
Daily washing
There is one immutable rule - a womanit is necessary to wash every day, preferably in the morning and in the evening. Some ladies conduct water procedures with the use of toilet soap, sometimes antibacterial agents are used. This is the first mistake! The fact that the vagina of each woman has its own special microflora, and antibacterial soap washes away and beneficial bacteria. The composition of the microflora is mainly weakly acidic, and it can not "neighbor" with the alkaline composition of the soap. With the frequent use of such detergents, thrush or candidiasis may occur. Wash, the women direct the water jet from above and begin to rub intensively the genitals to wash thoroughly. This is the second gross violation! It is necessary to direct a stream from a pubis to an anal aperture. Moreover, the jet should not be strong, and the water temperature is about 30 degrees. The movements of the hand should be directed only in one direction - from the pubis down. Reverse movement provokes the movement of harmful bacteria into the vaginal area. By the way, so it is necessary to wash all the girls from birth. The most common disease that occurs with improper washing is trichomoniasis. Wash well and start to wipe. What's so complicated? And after all not everyone knows, that it is necessary not to rub intensively sexual organs, and simply accurately to get wet. Towels for such use must be individual. It needs to be changed every three days - a moist environment can become just a "paradise" for pathogens. If a woman is diagnosed with candidiasis, trichomoniasis, thrush, then one should use disposable towels. 
Sanitary napkin
Now many brands offer to usepads every day - and it's very convenient. During the day, some allocation is still present, the linen may get soiled, and the sensations are unpleasant in wet clothes. But here you have to be careful.

- Secondly, even if you use daily gaskets, then you need to change them every 4-5 hours;

The fact is that the skin of the perineum when wornsuch hygienic means practically does not breathe - it can cause both hives, and irritation, and allergic phenomena. Agree, it is not enough pleasant, when there are rashes and pursues a constant itch.
Hygiene during menstruation
Critical days are a special case. Not only do vaginal discharge constantly appear, they are also a beneficial environment for the reproduction of bacteria.

You can not use antibacterial soap or gels for intimate hygiene, it is better to take baby soap. You can not wear synthetic underwear on such days - it is airtight, and will further increase the chances of developing the infection. If there is no possibility to wash, then use wet wipes. Just buy them in the pharmacy, with a note of the appointment. Then they will come in handy and on ordinary days - it's not enough that can happen. Business trip, office, trip to nature - wet wipes for intimate hygiene will always come in handy!

What is hygienic cosmetics?
In our time there is a large numbera variety of creams, gels and mousses, which are able to take care of the intimate places of the girl. On sale there are two main types of intimate cosmetics: sexy, designed more for pleasure, and hygienic cosmetics, which performs a very specific function. Such hygiene means are much better at cleaning and toning than toilet soap, because they can be applied to the mucous membrane. To care for the intimate area is not recommended to use a normal toilet soap, because of the fact that it contains a lot of alkali. The use of such soap breaks the state of microflora (kills lactobacilli), which can lead to infection in the intimate zone. Also, the use of ordinary soap can cause dryness, cause irritation and even dysbiosis - a violation of the microflora of women's intimate places. Intimate remedies should be gentle and soft consistency, there should not be any coarse particles or aggressive ingredients. When acquiring an intimate soap or gel, first of all, it should pay attention to the fact that this tool could not break the acidity of the mucous membrane. When choosing a product, it is necessary to thoroughly study the information on the label. If the inscription on the label reads: "It will destroy 99.9% of all harmful bacteria!", It is better to abandon its purchase, as this means that the product is too disinfectant and can kill both harmful and very useful and necessary bacteria. They say that soap for intimate hygiene can cure vaginal candidiasis, but this only partially corresponds to the truth. If the cause of whitening consists in the elementary non-observance of the rules of personal hygiene, then the means for caring for intimate zones can be quite effective. But if this, for example, dysbiosis, then hygiene cosmetics can not help. Here is another warning, which must be borne in mind when buying an intimate soap: this kind of cosmetics can cause a fairly strong allergy. The composition of many means for caring for intimate areas includes various medicinal plants. Therefore, you need to be very careful and choose a tool based on your personal characteristics.
