Using an intimate deodorant to deal with vaginal odor
From all the ads for scented feminine products you've seen on social media, you may be questioning the fragrance of your own vagina. All the fuss about vaginal freshness may also leave you self-conscious about the smell of your vagina.
Contrary to popular belief, it is normal to have a mild vaginal odor. Every woman has a distinct scent that fluctuates based on hormonal levels. A natural, healthy vagina has a moderate, fleshy fragrance.
The vagina lubricates itself and removes harmful bacteria naturally. Natural vaginal odor comes from the secretions responsible for this. It is also normal to have a slightly metallic vaginal odor during menstruation.
However, a strong and persistent vaginal odor may be a symptom of underlying hygiene or pH issues. A foul, fishy odor is a symptom of bacterial vaginosis and should be reason enough to consult your healthcare provider.
Having persistent vaginal odor is irritating and stressful. Fortunately, using an effective vaginal deodorizing device is one of several effective ways to manage vulva odor.
Causes of vaginal odor
Classifiable into two categories, vaginal odor can be either internal or external. Internal vaginal odor indicates medical complications that are best treated by a doctor, while external vaginal odor is manageable at home.
An internal vaginal odor accompanies itching, irritation, and unusual discharge. These are signs of an infection, pH imbalance, or STD. They can become serious unless you seek medical attention. Do-it-yourself treatments like douching will only make it worse.
An external vaginal odor has the following characteristics:
- Excessive sweating
- Feeling sweaty and smelly after exercising or sitting for a long time
- Spicy underwear
How to get rid of vaginal odor
If you experience external vaginal odor and are looking for tips on how to neutralize female body odor, here are some:
- Use a vaginal deodorant
Using a vaginal deodorant to counteract odor is perfectly acceptable if used outside the labia to avoid disturbing their natural pH. LexPlus Deodorant & Brightener offers vaginal health, freshness and hydration by neutralizing body odor.
It optimizes skin hydration by promoting its restoration. It also acts as a cleanser, removing impurities from the skin, gradually lightening the skin with its use. In addition, you can use it in areas such as the armpits, anus and under the bust.
- Practice good hygiene
The vagina is self-cleaning and should not come into contact with soap, as it stings and irritates. Gently cleaning the vulva with a cloth and a cleansing and moisturizing intimate soap not only eliminates vaginal odor but also leaves a fresh and moisturized feeling.
An unscented natural soap helps balance and restore flora and PH levels, helping to reduce bacteria growth effectively.
- Invest in feminine products to balance pH:
There are many pH products on the market that do not require a prescription. If you decide to go this route, be sure to choose a reliable feminine pH balance product made with lactic acid. Lactic acid is found naturally in the vagina and is necessary for vaginal health because it helps maintain and balance the ideal acidic vaginal pH.
If the situation persists and vaginal detox fails, schedule an appointment with your doctor to test your PH balance and have a physical evaluation.
- Clean with feminine hygiene wipes:
Toilet paper is a great but unsatisfying way to clean up after using the bathroom. Make sure to use feminine hygiene wipes after toilet paper as it is a great way to prevent and eliminate vaginal odor while restoring freshness. Avoid antibacterial wipes loaded with fragrance and alcohol as they can kill the good bacteria that maintain your vaginal PH.
