clothes Choose the best product for your intimate health

Cut down on sugar Get adequate sleep

Cotton and silk underwear absorb moisture, keeping you clean and dry. On the other

hand, nylon and other synthetic fabrics hold moisture

close to your skin,

encouraging the growth of bacteria.

Some studies show that too much sugar may speed up

the growth of bacteria.

Lack of sleep causes our immune system to dysfunction therefore

causing our immune system to not be able to do its job well.

Other feminine wash products may

cause the acidity level of your intimate area to drop, resulting in an

infection.

Medical Condition

Some medical conditions, such

as pregnancy and diabetes

may trigger an infection in the

intimate area. Antibiotics are

also known to encourage

bacterial growth by making

your intimate area’s

environment less acidic.

pH Level

The normal pH of a woman’s intimate area ranges between 3.8 and 4.5. It is a perfect environment for the types of good bacteria that help keep your intimate area clean and healthy. Most harmful bacteria have a hard time surviving in acidic environment. Keeping those harmful bacteria at bay is not only important for general hygiene and comfort, but also to help avoid infections and diseases.

An ideal intimate health is when the levels of good and bad bacteria are balanced.

Menstruation can alter the pH level of your intimate area.

What is menstruation?

Menstruation is a woman’s monthly bleeding. Most menstrual period last from 3 to 5 days.

Blood has a pH of 7.4. Therefore blood paired with hormonal changes raise your intimate area’s pH.

A recent report by the non-profit Women’s Voices for the Earth

(WVE) points out that feminine hygiene products, such as

sanitary pads, feminine wipes, feminine wash and other

menstrual products, may use ingredients that are known or

suspected endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC), carcinogens,

or allergens. Among the suspected EDCs found in some

feminine hygiene products are parabens, which are used as

preservatives, and some fragrance ingredients.

Days contains 100% no harmful chemicals. It has natural tea

tree oil and aloe vera to prevent infection and relieve

discomfort during red days.

If pH balance is disturbed, one can end up with painful conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and

yeast infections. Some of these infections, particularly UTIs, can become quite acutely severe
