General intimate hygiene guidelines

1. Shower 1 to 2 times per day, and more frequently during menstruation. Avoid using sponges or washcloths, and clean from front to back to prevent infections.
2. Do not use regular soap or shower gel for the intimate area. Their alkaline pH can disrupt the natural balance. Instead, use specially formulated products with ingredients such as lactic acid, aloe vera or bisabolol, which help protect, hydrate and soothe.
3. Change sanitary products regularly (every 3 to 4 hours) to prevent bacterial growth.
4. Wear breathable cotton underwear instead of synthetic or tight-fitting clothing. This improves comfort and hygiene.
5. If you experience discomfort (itching, dryness, irritation, unusual odor or discharge), consult a healthcare professional. A proper diagnosis ensures appropriate treatment.

How to choose the right product

1. For daily use
