When it comes to intimate hygiene, many of us turn to over-the-counter products that can be harsh on our delicate skin and disrupt the natural pH balance. In most cases, you should avoid washing your private parts with ANY solutions containing fragrances or chemicals. However, if your bits are having an emotional breakdown and aren't smelling so great, here is a natural and gentle alternative: a DIY cleanser made with simple ingredients you probably already have at home: baking soda and water.
How to make it:
Gather your ingredients:Â You'll need 1 part baking soda and 4 parts water. (i.e. whatever size container you use, fill a quarter of it with baking soda and the rest with water)
Mix: In a small container, combine the baking soda and water.
Apply: Shake before use to mix and gently wash your intimate area with the solution during your daily shower or bath. Rinse with warm water.
Why is pH balance important?
The vagina and penis have a naturally acidic pH, which helps to protect against harmful bacteria. When this pH is disrupted, it can create an environment that is more susceptible to infections, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis.
How does baking soda help maintain pH balance?
Baking soda is slightly alkaline, which can help neutralize any excess acidity in the intimate area. This can help restore the natural pH balance and reduce the risk of infections.
Benefits for both men and women:
Reduces irritation:Â Soothes the skin and reduces irritation in the genital area.
Prevents odour:Â The antibacterial properties of baking soda can help prevent unpleasant odours.
Maintains hygiene:Â Regular cleansing with this solution can help maintain good hygiene and reduce the risk of infections.
Important tips:
Avoid excessive washing: Overwashing can irritate the delicate skin of your intimate area. Stick to a gentle cleansing routine.
Don't use scented products:Â Fragrances can irritate the skin and disrupt the pH balance.
Don't 'douche':Â Douching refers to cleaning inside your vagina. I do not recommend this as it can cause more problems than solutions. Keep your intimate cleansing routine to the outside.
Not recommended for children:Â Children should only use warm water.
Consult a healthcare provider: If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, it's important to see a doctor.
This simple and natural DIY cleanser allows both men and women to enjoy the benefits of a healthy and balanced intimate area.
