First of all, we must distinguish between vagina and vulva. While the vagina, the inner part of the intimate area, should not be cleaned with any product, the vulva requires special care. In fact, the vagina has a natural self-cleaning effect. The use of products could disturb the vaginal flora. Therefore, you should not use products for the inner area. Instead, to clean the vulva, the external part of the intimate area, a mild soap with a neutral pH value is required.

The intimate area has a certain pH value, the alteration of which can lead to irritation, infection and dryness. In fact, there are many activities in our daily lives that can alter pH levels: exercise, certain medications, sex, stress, menopause, pregnancy, menstruation, synthetic or tight underwear, shower gel or douching.

Farmoderm Intimate Wash features the innovative self-balancing pH balancing formula that maintains the balance in the vulvar area. For example: The pH of normal soap is around 11. The healthy pH of a woman (23 years old and not yet pregnant) is between 3.5 and 4.7. For this reason, normal soap should not be used in the intimate area and Farmoderm Intime can balance the pH value naturally.
