Women's intimate hygiene is essential to ensure their well-being and health. Ensuring proper hygiene helps prevent infections, irritations and discomfort in the intimate area.
Menopause brings with it some symptoms that will affect well-being, and these begin with the onset of menstrual irregularities. It is a phase of adaptation in which women should dedicate more time to taking care of themselves and their intimate health. Some of the symptoms you may experience include:
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings
• Insomnia
• Vaginal dryness
• Urinary incontinence
• Reduced libido
The female intimate area has a naturally acidic pH, which helps maintain the balance of the vaginal flora. You should opt for intimate cleansing gels specially formulated for this area that contain gentle, antibacterial agents for effective protection.
Intimate Hygiene Care
Wash with water and mild soaps
Avoid vaginal douches, as they can eliminate beneficial bacteria and cause imbalances. External cleaning is sufficient to maintain hygiene, and should be done with warm water and a specific intimate hygiene product. Cumlaude Lab Deligyn Intimate Hygiene is a delicate hygiene gel with neutral pH, specific for the menopause stage.
Pay attention to underwear
Opt for cotton underwear, which allows for better ventilation and helps prevent the excessive growth of fungi and bacteria. Avoid prolonged use of tight clothing and synthetic materials, which can retain moisture and heat.
Moisturizing the intimate area
Just like the skin on the rest of the body, the intimate area may also need hydration, especially during phases such as menopause. Cumlaude External Moisturizer is an excellent option for keeping the skin hydrated and preventing irritation and is especially recommended for combating the symptoms of vulvoperineal dryness and itching.
Vaginal dryness
Vaginal dryness can affect more than 50% of women, and presents symptoms of vaginal dryness, due to the decrease in the estrogen hormone. In addition, it can trigger greater sensitivity, redness and burning, causing discomfort during sexual intercourse. At this stage, it is very important to keep the area moisturized and use lubricant to help. Cumlaude Lab Mucus is a water-based lubricant, indicated for women who suffer from intimate dryness, relieving pain and discomfort, facilitating sexual intercourse.
