Thanks!

Teespice: Summers eve.

The general knowledge is that only water and mild soap should be used in washing. But as I said earlier, I use it because the toilets in the hostel are very unhygenic.

My mum subscribes to me using it, but my friends think its unhealthy.

Hope I answered your questions.

...Are you in need of RESEARCH GUIDE/HELP?

FEEL FREE to Request

Thanks for sharing!

Intimate wash is usually acidic. In fact, it's supposed to keep it at its normal range of pH value.

Why Lactacyd? What's the cost?

Kimmo: As a rule, intimate washes are not required for everyday use unless the lady is suffering from, or recovering from a yeast infection or something related.
The reason being that the vag [/b] should be [b] acidic under normal circumstances.
If it isn't acidic, it encourages the growth of organisms which then result in the common vag infections with the symptoms of itching/smelling/white or colored discharges.

Why wld the vag not be acidic? Antibiotic use, among other reasons. One should keep in mind that the intimate wash products are [/b] not [b] treatment, more of prevention. And for God's saken let's avoid the perfumed ones, those are more cosmetic and are no help. A good choice, by the way, is Lactacyd.

I think you deserve a FREE intimate wash for this

Mr Renaissance: LMAO.. He's using medical terms so you didn't understand it. Let me help out.

By some body micro organisms being "organ-specific," he meant that some micro organisms function well or are not dangerous in particular organs. for example, micro organisms that are found in normal skin flora are not dangerous when they're in their area of expertise (the skin ONLY), eg: Staphylococcus, Streptococcus etc, which do not have any pathogenic effect on the skin. but when these micro organisms migrate to the mouth or genitals (moving to areas that are not their natural enclave), they become dangerous and can wreck havoc.

So also is E.coli, a bacterium of the mouth flora (resides in the mouth). When E.coli is in the mouth, it causes no harm, as a matter of fact, if fights dangerous external organisms, but once it mistakenly migrates to the skin, it wrecks havoc as the skin is not 'condusive' enough for it to function without its harmful side being unleashed.

Also, that these micro organisms are harmless in their area of speciality doesn't mean they can't cause harm once they are numerous, that's why we brush to reduce the amount of E.coli and other micro organisms of the buccal cavity,because when they are much, they cause harm. Same applies to Staphylococcus, we bath steadily to reduce their numbers on our skins because if they're much, they will cause harm

You get the drift?

WoW!

What's the price?

So, what do you use presently?

# You should use it for the external Zone ONLY!


Thanks for sharing!

Duchaello: I've used sebamed's intimate wash and it was really good, I stopped when read somewhere that douching is not healthy.

Ooh...thanks for sharing!

About two posts before yours condemn Femfresh...
...What is your reaction to this?

mimee9: I use femfresh and water

Thanks for sharing!

So, what brand name is that?
Are you surprised to read here of some ladies comments against it?
Does your group of 'Family & Friend' find it useful or otherwise?

Teespice: Oh well

I use intimate wash but not everyday. Been using it for over three years with no health implications whatsoever. However I use it frequently nowadays due to the fact that the toilets in the hostel are that dirty.

Of Poor standards kee...

Most of them (if not all) have both international and local certifications.

Perhaps they need to understand the perculiar African skin

Dannylux: It depends on individuals. A person might use it with no allergic reaction but someone else may do the same and all hell would be let loose. Mild Soap would be ideal for the purpose but in case the foul smell persists, I would recommend a physician (gynaecologist) expertise. Most of the intimate wash products are of poor standard, hence, I wouldn't recommend someone to use it.
Mild Soap, it is.

Since it relates to the skin, perhaps the advice of dermatologists is preferrable!

Ishilove: Ha, lailai o. Mba, I no go gree that one o. Haba! I am still trying to cope with thought of using mere water, and now you're saying we shouldn't even use our fingers to scrub??

I no gree o. We must use the fingers to scrub all 'scrubbables'. Get rid of all the orishirishi that might have accumulated during the course of the day. That is the healthy thing to do. Don't mind all these oversabi doctors. Most are men who don't have vagginas, therefore cannot fully comprehend our situation.

Trust me, you deserve an intimate wash FREE, for taking time to explain

Dannylux: Not exactly. Some of the microbes in the mouth and genitals exhibit symbiotic association naturally but there is need to keep their population in check. That calls for the need to wash it regularly. Of course, it's practically impossible to totally terminate the population of microbes down there because there millions of them but what I'm emphasizing is the need to reduce the quantity.

It is important to manually reduce it in case they should turn from being innocuous to harmful owing to biochemical changes. In case something like that should happen, you'd have lesser friends- turned-enemies to fight.

People who suffer oral plaques is due to over-accummulation of mouth normal flora which used to be innocuous. Same thing applies for the V.

The washing is simply to control its population, not to exterminate them.

Please tell us more.

For how long have you been using it? What is the price? Is it scarce in the market~Lagos, Abuja, PH, etc? Have you used another type before?

kaima1984: I use summer eve,I can't do without it,am 100% covered,I dnt like perceiving an unpleasant odor frm my pussy,SUMMER EVE is d best

LoL!

Naah you be first naa...

...As a case study Ooo

UcLloyd: Liars! Majority of u females saying u don't use cuz ur clean down there are lying jor! How about I do the verification? Who's 1st?

Ask ask your Babes naa

mencade5: i dey come ooo. But wetin intimate wash wash mean sef?

I like your analogy.

Thus, in simple words, should an intimate wash be used or otherwise for the external region ONLY, rather than mild soaps for protection?

Dannylux: It's been awful long. Hope you're good?

Still on the same vein, these seemingly innocuous micro flora and fauna could get harmful when translocated from their usual locations. Inasmuch as they are not posing any danger at the moment, they could get dangerous when there is weakness in the immune system owing to stress or some other causes. I don't think it'd be wise to actually breed (leave them undisturbed) them.

They are potential parasites waiting to parasitize on you when the immune system keeping them in check is destablized.

It's just like your mouth. The flora in the teeth are innocuous but get parasitic when dislocated to another site. Hence, the need for you to brush, floss and wash your mouth regularly to manually reduce their population. The same applies for the microbes down there.

Oga Men...,

As somebody wey get diverse Babes...

....Abeg wetin you think about intimate wash Oooo

#Yourexperiencecounts!

mencade5:

Ohh...please could you tell us more?

Thanks for sharing!

Yoney007: Remember buying one way back in school....Thank God for the eye-opening I got early. #TeamWater

Sorry about that!

Please could you list a few of those used in the past.

lynpetra: Very bad indeed!
Used some before,ended up regretting it.Douching also is a very very bad thing.Can push infection way up your womb.Apart from water and Baby wipes,I use nothing down there.Talk about having your punny smell like a newly born

WOW! Naa everything dey cos cancer these days

I will not be surprised if I am told tomorrow that drinking both chilled and warm water causes Cancer in the human body system

Meanwhile, I will check out Femfresh (please what's the market price and place to buy?) to know why it's so!

Perhaps it was not made for the average African female!

Julie9093: Same here, used femfresh before but each time i use it i feel uncomfortable. But i think only water is ok cos i heard from a friend recently dat washing with soap can cause cancer of d vagina.

Thanks for sharing!

The V has a normal pH value of =3.8-4.5. An intimate wash is supposed to always keep it at that level to make it active for protection against infections/unwanted bacteria. Even mild soaps have highly sensitive chemicals and that's why they are not advisable.

oyinbogirl: Nah I dont use intimate washes, I use soap and water and bi carb. I think those washes interfere with balance. Watching your personal health is better too, as well as knowing your own body well, watching what you eat plays a big part

Doctors are being carful in recommending any substance to their patients which they don't know well. Interestingly, some of these doctors are the brains behind intimate wash. Basically, for the sake of protection/prevention against infections, an intimate wash is very handy, unlike warm water, when out of home...don't you think?

Thanks for sharing!

justi4jesu: My doctor advised against using feminine wash too.

His basic tips were :

- Always wipe front to back after you use the toilet

- Best is to also wash with warm water

If you are worried about odor, the best method is to wipe your lady parts dry instead of wearing your undies right away.

don't use normal body soap to wash your nether regions either.

wash with warm water and keep that area dry. our nether region has its ability to clean itself, so i don't see why we need to use more chemicals to clean it.

Detailed research studies were done before the launch of same many years ago? I wonder why these negative reactions to it by many females! If you have a personal experience, please share as we are thinking that many are just being careful/afraid so that they do not regret their actions later.

Coldfeet: Intimate washes are NOT good for you! They interfere with the bodies natural flora and cause more harm than good in the long run! Plain water is just about all you need to wash down there not even ordinary toilet soap should be used there no mater how mild! Hairs trap dirt and sweat so shave off or trim your pubic hair regularly! And if you feel you need more than just water and disinfectant due to odour I'd advise you tackle the source of that odour first than trying to mask it with harmful intimate washes.

Hi there,

Yes! The V is self~cleansing naturally.

However, this product is designed to clean up the external part of it ONLY. Would you say it's NOT BETTER than MILD SOAPS?

We need to understand why many females have negative views about it. Could this be due to ignorance/misuse
[quote author=Doc. Adray]I don't use intimate washes!

It is only essential that one 'cleans' her vagina, a couple of times a day, with warm water only (no need for soap), because the vagina is already 'self-cleansing' with the presence of its own micro-flora (and fauna), which need not to be destabilized by the use of soap...[/quote]

nanalady: I use just soap nd water.

Thanks!

Please have you ever used an intimate wash before, or do you know someone who does? This will help you make a better comparison ...Like between ceiling/standing fan and Air Conditioner, or Laptop and IPad/Tablet

ibitomisi: We won't learn that Fast! untill something strikes.

Sorry, this is not clear!
