It doesn’t matter if you’re in your 20s or 50s: taking care of our intimate health is crucial for well-being at every stage of life and having good daily intimate hygiene habits (as well as choosing the right products to carry it out), is the best way to do it.
Below, we present a complete guide to take care of your intimate health; detailing the main tips and good practices of daily intimate hygiene; as well as helping you select the best intimate hygiene products to take care of your vaginal area.
Although it is often something we take for granted, the specific care and cleansing of the vaginal area plays a key role when it comes to our intimate health.
Maintaining a proper daily intimate hygiene routine not only helps us feel more comfortable and refreshed, but it can also prevent infections, odors, and other complications (such as itching, burning, or dryness) that can affect our well-being.
Therefore, it is recommended to take a series of measures to ensure proper daily intimate hygiene. Are you sure you do it right? Do you choose the right products?
Tips for proper daily intimate hygiene:
Maintain a daily routine specifically for the intimate area:
Wash the vaginal area daily (once a day is enough, or at most two in case of menstruation or sports, to avoid interfering with the vaginal flora), carefully, and using only suitable products such as intimate gels that are specifically formulated for the intimate area. To ensure a gentle and respectful cleanse, avoid scented gels or soaps that can cause irritation and alter the pH of your vaginal area. Instead, opt for an intimate hygiene gel without fragrances, dyes, parabens, sulfates or alcohol, which respects your body’s natural pH.If you are starting out in intimate care you can try: Origyn Daily Intimate Hygiene.

Keep an eye on the water temperature
Using water that is too hot to wash your intimate area can dry out your skin, cause irritation, and disrupt the vaginal flora. To carry out your daily intimate hygiene, it is better to do it with warm water.
Choose the right inner clothing
Yours underwear also plays a key role in your intimate health. Instead of tight clothing and synthetic fabrics, which can retain moisture and heat and cause irritation (as well as providing the perfect environment for fungi and bacteria to thrive), choose breathable underwear made from natural fabrics like cotton.
Prevents moisture
After sweating, always change your underwear and pants to preventsweat from being trapped and promoting the proliferation of bacteria. In summer, after bathing at the beach or pool, avoid staying too long in your wet swimsuit.
Say NO to Douching
The vaginal area has its own natural cleaning mechanism, so it does not need to be washed inside (nor is it advisable to do so). Although it may seem that douching provides an extra point of hygiene, the reality is that it can be counterproductive for our intimate health because it eliminates the protective bacteria of the vaginal flora, leaving the vaginal area vulnerable to infections by altering the pH.
Therefore, when it comes to carrying out your daily intimate hygiene, it is enough to wash only the external part.
Drink enough water daily
Intimate health is also related to your hydration level, so make sure you drink enough water each day.
Take care of your diet
Maintaining a healthy diet rich in probiotic foods (such as plain yogurt and kefir) can help maintain a healthy balance in your vaginal flora. It is also important to consume fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and avoid excess sugar, which can promote the growth of fungi such as Candida.
During your period, regularly change your intimate hygiene products
During menstruation, it is essential to change tampons and pads every 4-6 hours and empty the menstrual cup every 8 hours at most, to prevent the proliferation of bacteria. If you use tampons, alternate them with pads or menstrual cups to prevent vaginal dryness. To avoid possible discomfort related to menstruation, we recommend using intimate hygiene products with prebiotics.
If you have any discomfort, consult your gynecologist
If you experience discomfort such as itching, irritation or abnormal discharge, see a gynecologist. Not only is it useful for detecting (and remedying) potential problems in time, but it can also advise you according to your specific needs on which intimate hygiene products are the most suitable for you.
