Female intimate health requires the right sort of information and products. The experts from Vagisil explain their approach
What is the importance of vaginal pH?
A healthy internal pH is considered to be 4.6. When this falls out of balance, we can experience a range of symptoms, including dryness, itching, irritation, odour, discharge and burning. A balanced pH, which helps to support a healthy vulvar microbiome, is an important step towards maintaining good intimate health.
What can affect vaginal pH?
Vaginal pH can be impacted by your period, use of certain soaps, the menopause, sex, tight clothes, or douching.
Why are some hygiene products unsuitable for use in the vaginal environment?
Some intimate hygiene products are not formulated to respect intimate pH, which can lead to discomfort, or worsening of symptoms, such as odour, that the product may have been purchased to help with in the first place. All Vagisil products are tested by gynaecologists, and our ingredients are reviewed by independent panels of experts and our internal safety experts. We ensure that our scents are skin-friendly, and that our fragrances are compliant with current international fragrance association (IFRA) standards.
