      1. Can the private parts be cleaned with ordinary shower gel?

      The pH value of the scalp, face and body skin is slightly acidic between 5.2 and 5.8. For us, it is natural to use shampoo, facial cleanser and shower gel respectively in these parts; however, the private parts are produced by the beneficial bacteria (lactobacilli) located in the vaginal opening. Lactic acid maintains the pH value at an acidic level of 3.8 to 4.2 to prevent bacterial growth (bacteria prefer an alkaline environment). If you use generally neutral or alkaline shower gels and soaps, it is easy to destroy the natural protective film of the private parts, so you need special acidic cleansers.

      2. Will private skin also have aging problems?

      Dryness and loss of collagen are symptoms of all aging skin, but private skin also suffers from pH changes.

      3. Does private skin require special care?

      Intimate skin and lips skin The structure is similar. There is only a thin layer of cuticle covering the dermis, and moisture is easily lost. In addition, modern female Due to high pressure, abnormal work and rest, the resistance of the private parts is weak, and it is difficult to maintain an acidic environment. Therefore, moisturizing products that can improve the protection of the private parts are needed. In addition to maintaining the natural acid protective film, when the water content is sufficient, it can also improve the dullness you care about, making your "sister" feel more supple and translucent.

      4. Keep private parts private healthy , what else should we pay attention to?

      Breathable natural cotton is the best choice for the close-fitting panties that are closest to the private skin, because dark dyes of poor quality can easily cause allergies, and the tight jeans, stockings and thongs that girls love to wear can make the private area hot and humid. They should be avoided during menstruation, and sanitary napkins should be changed frequently to keep them dry. Go in and out of places such as bathing or swimming pools to avoid infection caused by sitting by the pool. In addition, staying up late, stress, and fried and spicy food will also affect the pH value of the private parts.

      5. Every time I sweat during exercise, my "sister" tends to feel stuffy and smelly, which is embarrassing and uncomfortable. How can I improve it?

      If you want to avoid this embarrassing situation, it is best to clean it with special cleaning products immediately after exercise. If you exercise outdoors, you can use talcum powder specially designed for private parts to keep it dry before going out. You can also use wet wipes specially designed for private parts to achieve a temporary cleaning effect when sweating or after exercise.
