While intimate gels are essential products in the daily routine of many women, there are also many people for whom intimate gel is still an idea, but has never been used. Yes, it's true that you absolutely do not need a gel specially created for your intimate area, especially since the vagina cleans itself. But if you want to improve your hygiene and need a delicate cleansing gel, here's what you need to know before choosing the right solution and using an intimate gel!

What is an intimate gel?

According to gynecologists, intimate cleansing gels can help your vulva maintain its pH, thus helping you maintain your genital health. Did you know that your vaginal and intimate pH levels are often disrupted by the harsh soaps and detergents you use to wash your underwear? Moreover, they can even be changed by your eating habits. So, an intimate gel is a solution specially formulated for the delicate area of the vulva, used in the treatment of dryness, itching and irritation, which could help you maintain a balance and thus prevent possible genital problems such as allergies, unpleasant odors and bacterial infections or fungi.

Because keeping the intimate area clean is an essential part of body care and hygiene, especially due to the fact that it is a sensitive area, which makes it more prone to infections when you don't take care of it properly. And that is precisely why the intimate gel appears on the market, to help you maintain a level of natural vaginal pH, a pH that is often destabilized by many factors: soaps, detergents, conventional menstrual products (containing chemicals and plastic).

We pay attention to the changes that appear on the skin or to the changes suffered by our hair, but how many of us pay attention to the small details and changes in the intimate area? Moreover, it is a taboo subject, which is not much talked about. But like any part of the body, the vulva needs care to prevent infections and other health problems.

Who can use an intimate gel?

Any woman can use ENROUSH intimate gel. It is a specially formulated gel with 95% natural ingredients to prevent irritation, itching, dryness and Candida infections – it is 87% effective in protecting against Candida, with Tribulus Terrestris extract. Moreover, it can be used both during pregnancy, after pregnancy or during menstruation.

Its natural composition includes Propolis extract, for balancing the microbiome of the vulva, and Neem oil, for moisturizing and softening the skin. But you won't find parabens, allergens, preservatives and sulfates – many of these hidden ingredients are often used in the formulation of ordinary shower gels.

We have formulated the intimate gel so that it is more than a simple cleanser for the genital area, to keep you fresh day by day - because there are many people who want to prevent infections, unpleasant odors, irritations and other problems of the vulva but I want a natural solution! Traditionally, soap and water were also used for the intimate area, but dermatologists do not recommend harsh soaps for cleaning the genital area, because they can destroy the natural vaginal flora and change the pH level of the skin. And because the pH of the vulva and vagina is between 3.8 and 4.5, it is easily altered by a harsh soap. Of course, you can prefer only warm water, but if you want to add a gentle washing formula, always choose a natural intimate gel, specially formulated for your vulva.

How to use the intimate gel?

Like any other skin care product, it is recommended to do a skin test before using it to clean the intimate area. This can tell you whether or not you are allergic to one of the gel's ingredients. Also note that the gel is not intended for internal use (vaginal washes) but exclusively for use in the external part of the intimate area.

Put a small amount of gel in the palm of your hand and lather it. Use it this way in the shower, applying gently to the outer intimate area and then rinsing with clean water. Finally, gently pat the area dry. Intimate gel can be an important step in your intimate hygiene routine, but be careful not to overdo it: excessive use of gel can cause dryness and irritation in the genital area!
