Importance of Vaginal Health
Tuesday, December 13, 2016
In our desi society, the topic of vaginal health is often a neglected one because after hitting puberty, no one guides us as to why "those" things happen when they happen, why our bodies go through a major change and how and why it is a to must to take care of vaginal health. If I were to sum it up in few words, we are not told how our bodies work as a female and how to take care of our intimate area.
Today, I hope to address some of the problems and concerns that we face as females and I will also try and explore possible solutions for it with this post for which Everteen, a leading brand in feminine intimate health & hygiene category were kind enough to partner with us. But before I proceed further, I would like to clarify that I am no expert and the information provided in this post is not intended to cure, treat or diagnose any disease. If you are facing any kind of irritation or discomfort in your intimate area, please see your medical doctor ASAP.
A woman's vaginal health can get affected by diet, exercises, clothes, medications, stress. So, maintaining vaginal health is as important as maintaining other health habits like for example oral hygiene. A healthy vagina is acidic in nature and has a pH of 3.8 to 4.5 as the good bacteria present "down there" helps in fighting bad microorganisms like foul odour, abnormal discharge etc. Their are numerous factors that could possibly disrupt vaginal pH which are listed below:
- Menstruation
- Sexual intercourse
- Diet and Exercise
- Use of tampons and sanitary napkin
- Hormonal changes
- Menopause
- Personal hygiene
Everteen is one brand that I can trust when it comes to purchasing products for intimate care and hygiene. And if you have been reading the blog, you guys know that I do not promote any brand unless I believe in them completely. I have used many of their products and none have disappointed. So below, I am listing few problems that we as women face in our daily lives with possible solutions for it.
1. Vaginal Infection: Vaginal yeast infections are a very common female condition. The main symptoms of this condition is itching, unnatural odour, burning sensation. To prevent such infections, it is adviced to keep the intimate area clean other than having a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. One product that could help in preventing infection and maintaining the pH balance of the vagina is Everteen Natural Intimate Wash. The intimate wash is approved by Indian FDA and contains 100% natural active ingredients which makes it mild for all skin types. I shared my experience of the intimate wash with the readers HERE.
2. Vaginal Dryness and Vaginal Laxity: Although I am a big believer of not altering something that is nature intended but vaginal laxity is something that bothers a lot of women specially after childbirth. Other than kegel exercises, Everteen Vaginal Gel is quite useful in improving vaginal laxity by its tightening and revitalizing effects on vaginal muscles.
3. Monthly Period: During that time of the month, it becomes even more important to keep the intimate area clean in order to keep infections at bay. It's important to use sanitary napkins whose top sheet is made up of cotton, because that reduces the chances of rashes, infections etc. And since I've used Everteen Cotton Sanitary Napkins, I can vouch for the fact that they are made of high quality material and the top sheet is 100% cotton. It provides instant dryness and soft feel and contains breathable bottom layer which allows air to circulate, eliminates moisture & heat.
4. Woman On Go: We are all aware of the condition most public toilets in India are, they are untidy and unhygienic but in case of emergency we have to use them whether we like or not. In such cases, Everteen Natural Intimate Hygiene Wipes come in handy as we don't want ourselves to come in contact with any sort of infection. These wipes are India's first 100% natural and biodegradable wipes and using them is very easy. To know my experience with the wipes, find the review HERE.

5. Bikini Hair Removal: Removing bikini hair is one tricky affair. Women, generally prefer shaving or waxing to remove bikini hair but both have their own drawbacks. Shaving results in ingrown hair and nicks whereas waxing causes too too much pain. Everteen understood these concerns of women and came out with a product which is exclusively meant to remove bikini hair. The product goes by the name of Everteen Creme Hair Remover Bikini Line which is formulated using 100% natural chamomile extract and contains no parabens, yaaaas! The product is very useful as it removes the hair efficiently without causing irritation or darkness in the delicate area, however a patch test is highly recommended. Read about my experience HERE.

In pursuit to promote healthy intimate hygiene habits and raise awareness to highlight important intimate health issues, I hope to do my bit and I urge every female to practice high standards of intimate hygiene.
