Let’s Talk The Talk About Women’s Intimate Health

When you sit down and think about it, women’s intimate regions get far more of a work out than you’d imagine at first glance. For example, the current trend for tight jeans has the potential to affect the temperature ‘down there’ causing an imbalance in a region that is as sensitive as any climate.

Products for intimate areas

Although this is a relatively well-established market segment – products have been around since the last decade – they are just coming to prevalence, and there are a number of companies producing merchandise.

Interestingly the market leaders are all specialist houses with knowledge and an understanding that the bigger cosmetic companies are missing. For this type of product getting a product from an expert feels comforting and somehow appropriate.

Don’t underestimate the complexity

The vaginal area has a sensitive balance and is often one area where we experience a difference when things are happening elsewhere. Anyone who has dealt with the side effects of an oral contraceptive knows exactly how it feels.

We wax, we swim in chlorinated pools, we have sex, we go through childbirth and menopause. We exercise more than ever before, and to top it all off the range level of grooming, waxing and shaving is more prevalent than ever before.

Any of these activities can set off intimate itching, dryness redness and inflammation which is exceeding uncomfortable and not easily dealt with. Well until now.

Products based on natural materials 

Intimate areas have a delicate temperature and pH balance. Introducing anything external has the potential to cause irritation or dryness and the last thing you want to do is make the situation worse. Using a cream which is based on estrogen has the potential to do exactly that.

Choosing products which are 100% natural and preferably based on organic materials is the best way to make sure you are doing the right thing. 

Natural ingredients produced in a natural way

Think of a product like beeswax. There’s only one way to get beeswax and that is from bees. There are ways to create a synthetic substance, but it is not the real thing and nothing will ever change that. Real beeswax also has other natural properties; it is both antibacterial and anti-fungal. Immediately you can see the benefit of natural products.

This is a delicate area. Treat it with the respect it deserves.
