pH Balance is Key
The pH of your vagina is key to overall vaginal health.7 If your vaginal pH is disturbed this could cause vaginal infections.7 The natural pH of your skin and vagina are acidic, which helps defend against infection.7-9 That’s why it is important to think carefully about a pH-balanced formulation feminine wash. Using natural soap for intimate skin cleansing isn’t advised as it has a high pH that can harm your skin's protective barrier.8
For example, you can get a feeling of freshness in your intimate area, with daily use, from a gynecologically-tested, soap-free cleanser – BETADINE® Fresh Bliss® Refreshing Lemon Verbena. This wash includes organic Lemon Verbena extract and helps support the natural pH balance of your intimate area, with regular use.2
Odor control
Do you have a bit of a smell down there? Having vaginal odor does not always indicate a problem, such as infection.10 Vaginal odors can be caused by natural changes throughout the menstrual cycle and is influenced by personal hygiene, by the pH balance of vaginal fluids, or even by what you eat.11 So, what can you do to help address a less than pleasant smell?
Make sure to pick a specially-formulated feminine wash. Many types of soaps and deodorant sprays can be irritating or can negatively affect the bacterial balance of your vagina.8,10 Get daily odor control for your intimate area, with regular use of BETADINE® Fresh Bliss® Odor-Control Witch Hazel – it contains prebiotics and is enriched with the natural extract of witch hazel, helping to provide a natural deodorizing effect.3
Dry Intimate Skin Prevention
You may suffer from vaginal dryness and experience itching or discomfort as a result. Some natural soaps can be quite harsh and incompatible with the normal skin environment.12 That is why it is important to use cleansers that will keep the intimate skin barrier protected and moisturized.8
If you find that you are suffering from vaginal dryness, try BETADINE® Fresh Bliss® Moisturising Calendula to gently soothe discomforts caused by dryness and irritation and provide hydration to your intimate area to support skin softness with regular use.5
Menstrual Wash
In women of reproductive age, the vagina predominantly contains Lactobacillus, good bacteria, that help keep the optimal acidity of the vagina and protect against infections and harmful bacteria.12 Menstruation can alter the vaginal microbiome and is linked to an increase in the number of non-Lactobacillus species.5,9 This means that during their periods, women face a higher risk of infection, such as yeast infections (caused by Candida) or vaginitis.5,9
For added protection and comfort during red days try Povidone-Iodine (BETADINE®) Antiseptic Feminine Wash – it kills bacteria, fungi, and viruses in as early as 30 seconds based on in-vitro studies, helping 72% of women who have a higher risk of infection during red days.5-6,13
