Harsh soaps and products with added fragrances, dyes, or chemicals can negatively impact the vaginal area. The vagina has a delicate pH balance, typically ranging from 3.8 to 4.5, which is slightly acidic. This acidic environment is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria and preventing the overgrowth of harmful microorganisms.

Using harsh soaps or products with artificial fragrances and chemicals can disrupt this balance, leading to irritation, dryness, and potential infections.

If you choose to use scented products for the vaginal area, it’s essential to ensure they are specifically designed for this sensitive region. Opt for products that are mild, unscented, and free from harsh chemicals to avoid irritation and maintain the natural moisture balance of the vaginal area. Using products that are not formulated for the vaginal region can lead to discomfort and exacerbate dryness.
