Medical Video: 10 Feminine Hygiene Tips You NEED to Know
Your area of femininity is a very sensitive area. Not everyone and not everything can be near. Therefore, you must be extra careful with your vagina. Because the chemicals or the nature of certain things are a danger to the vagina. Good when caring for femininity or when making love, pay close attention to 8 things you should keep away from the following vagina.
1. Female soap
You may have watched or seen advertisements of feminine soap. The promise offered by feminine soap does indeed sound convincing. However, the vagina is a very intelligent and independent body organ. The vagina has its own way to cleanse itself and prevent bacterial infections and disease-causing bacteria or unpleasant odors. No need to use special soap to clean and maintain the area.
Besides being unnecessary, feminine soap also contains various hard chemicals such as preservatives, fragrances, and alcohol. These ingredients can cause irritation and kill various good bacteria that live in the vaginal area. Cleaning with warm water alone is enough to maintain the health of intimate organs.

2. Whipped cream or chocolate syrup
To add sensation during lovemaking or warming up, you and your partner may want to use food ingredients like whipped cream and chocolate syrup. However, you should keep that whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or other sweet food ingredients do not touch the area of your vagina. The reason is, foods that are sweet and contain sugar can interfere with the pH balance in your female area. According to Dr. Mary Jane Minkin from Yale University medical school, this can increase your risk of having a vaginal yeast infection.
3. Fruit or food
Even though you have washed fruits or other natural ingredients, do not close them to the vaginal area. Natural and clean food still contains various microbes that are foreign to your sex organs. When exposed to these microbes, the pH balance in the area will become chaotic. This risks causing vaginal bacterial infection.
4. Tea tree oil
Be careful if you want to replace vaginal lubricants with natural oils from tea tree juice. A gynecology expert from the United States, Dr. Raquel Dardik explained that tea tree oil can make the vagina feel hot like burning. This is because tea tree oil has a very strong chemical reaction and a danger to the vagina. So to avoid vaginal irritation, keep tea tree oil away from your intimate organs.

5. Baby oil
Like tea tree oil, use baby oil as a substitute for vaginal lubrication gel is also not a good idea. Because, Dr. Mary Jane Minkin reminded that oil-based lubricants are difficult to clean. Even though you have rinsed it, baby oil will still stick to the vaginal area. If left, left over baby oil can enter the inside of the vagina. Various bad bacteria will also stick and get stuck together baby oil in your female area. As a result, the vagina actually becomes the place where bacteria nest and breed.

6. Tattoos
Having a tattoo on the female part does indeed sound sexy. However, the skin in your intimate area is far more sensitive than other body parts. Exposure to harsh chemicals from tattoo ink and the process of injecting tattoos with needles can cause serious irritation and infection. Even ink from water tattoos (non-permanent) can cause vaginal infections.
7. Cream thresher
The chemicals in the cream thresher are very hard and a danger to the vagina. The cream is prone to causing blisters on the surface of the vaginal skin. This increases the risk of infection and allergic reactions. So, even though shaving pubic hair sometimes makes the vagina feel uncomfortable, this method is still safer than using cream thresher.
8. Sex toy which is not clean
If you and your partner often use it sex toys to add intimacy, also pay attention to cleanliness. Wash clean sex toys with hot water and soap after each use. Don't use sex toys alternately. This risks causing transmission of venereal disease. It's best if sex toys already touched the anal area, wash immediately. Do not immediately wear or bring it closer to the vagina because the bacteria from the anus will move to your female area.
