When we first tested Lips Intimate Care oils, we were quite skeptical. Why make intimate hygiene complicated when you can wash with regular almond oil? Should you really use a scented oil on your intimate area? Let's answer these questions, as we suspect many others are wondering the same thing. How your intimate area feels is not something people typically talk about. We think the opposite; we need to talk about it more, as many people experience these "non-problems" such as dry mucous membranes, itching, discharge, pain, etc. It's common to experience issues after childbirth or during menopause, but it's not uncommon during youth either. Tight clothing and prolonged sitting don't make things any better.
2 most important rules when washing your intimate area
Only wash the outside
The wonderful thing about our bodies is that they have their own functions that keep us healthy and functioning. That's why you shouldn't disrupt what's natural. For example, girls and women have discharge to keep the vagina clean. This is a completely normal function that everyone experiences and is actually beneficial (though discharge should not have a bad odor or unusual color). Therefore, you don't need to wash inside your intimate area—it's sufficient to wash once daily on the outside using just water or an oil for additional moisture.
2. Don't use soap
Conventional soap disrupts the skin's pH, dries out the skin and mucous membranes, which in turn can cause dryness, itching, and malodorous discharge. We therefore recommend washing your intimate area with only water or an oil. We also don't recommend using creams, even if they're specifically designed for the intimate area. A product containing water always needs preservatives, thickeners, stabilizers, etc., which is not a good idea to have in the vagina. A simple oil does the job just as well as soap, if not better. Natural oils contain plant substances that counteract infections, fungus, and bacteria, as well as fats that help mucous membranes retain moisture.
Lip Intimate Care
If you want to wash your intimate area with an oil, I warmly recommend the washing oils from Lip with natural scent.
