Intimate hygiene is something many women think about, but not everyone knows exactly how to maintain it in a healthy, gentle way. Intimate wipes, designed especially for sensitive skin, offer a practical, on-the-go solution. In this post, we’ll cover what intimate wipes are, how to use them properly, benefits, and some tips and precautions to get the best out of them.

What Are Intimate Wipes?

Intimate wipes, also known as feminine wipes or Intimate hygiene wipes, are precisely developed to clean the vulval and vaginal intimate area without irritating the skin. They typically:

• maintain a pH equilibrium to prevent upsetting the vaginal flora's natural balance.
  
  
• Contain gentle cleansing agents or botanical / herbal extracts.
  
  
• are gentle, frequently free of alcohol and parabens, and designed to be gentle on delicate skin.

Why Use Intimate Wipes for Women

There are many reasons why women choose intimate wipes over or in addition to regular soap or water:

• Convenience: when you’re on the go, in the car, at work, or travelling.
  
  
• Freshness: makes you feel clean, especially after sweating after intimacy, or during your menstrual cycle.
  
  
• Odour Control: Good wipes use no harsh chemicals to adequately eliminate or disguise scents.
  
  
• Gentle Care: specially formulated wipes avoid the risk of irritation from regular soaps which may be too harsh.
  

How to Use Intimate Wipes Effectively & Safely 

Here's how to use intimate hygiene wipes the right way, step by step:

1. Wash or sanitise your hands: Before using the wipe, wash your hands or sanitize them. Keeping hands clean helps to avoid the transmission of harmful bacteria.
2. Open the pack properly: resealable seal or flap to ensure wipes stay moist and clean.
   
   
3. Pull out one wipe – you generally need just one. Unfold gently.
   
   
4. Wipe from front to back. This is very important: always swipe from the vulva towards the anus. This helps prevent transferring bacteria from the rectal area to the vaginal area.
   
   
5. Don’t use for too long: The only purpose of intimate wipes is external use. Keep the wipe away from the vagina.
   
   
6. Dispose properly: throw the used wipes in the garbage. Avoid flushing it even if the label indicates "flushable" to avoid clogging the plumbing.
   
   
7. Wash hands again after use to ensure cleanliness.
