Constantly finding yourself spending a denomination of $10+ every month to treat your recurring UTI, only to be getting the same medications? We hear your frustration and you are not alone! A qualitative research study by the National Library of Infection highlights significant emotional burdens such as helplessness and dread brought by Urinary Tract Infection.
Unfortunately, a woman’s anatomy is such that a woman has a shorter urethra, which makes bacteria reach the bladder more easily. Therefore, it is not on you that you have recurring Urinary Tract Infection incidences. You must maintain a mildly acidic pH of 3.6 for optimal intimate health. An imbalance of pH and other factors such as poor hygiene practices, medical conditions, and the use of the wrong cleansing products can increase the risk of Urinary Tract Infection.
Now, you may think, how do I maintain and ensure a pH of 3.6? Earlier, we also spoke about the use of cleansing products, cleansing products does not refer to the use of body soaps, body soaps are typically alkaline products, with a pH of 9. Prolonged immediate contact with body soaps on our female intimate area will cause an imbalance of pH! This highlights the importance of the use of feminine wash.
The Fonz - Le Charme has conducted robust market research and understands how overwhelming it can be to choose the right feminine wash given the countless options available. With many brands claiming antibacterial and anti-odor properties, the question remains—how do you determine which one is truly effective?
To make an informed choice, it's essential to look beyond marketing claims and focus on scientifically backed ingredients. Research from credible sources like Sage Journals highlights key components commonly found in feminine washes and their actual benefits. So, your next follow-up question would be—how do I choose the right feminine wash that is most suitable for me?
Let us start out with 2 sides of the feminine wash that are available in the market. Through robust quality market research, we realised that some feminine washes are doing more harm than good. Below are some signs that you can look out for to know whether your feminine wash is suitable for you.
Recurring UTIs
We realised that many commercial feminine washes contain harsh soaps and artificial fragrances that can disrupt your natural pH balance. Ensure that the feminine wash that you are purchasing does not contain chemical components such as Benzethonium Chloride, DMDM Hydantoin, and Methylchloroisothiazolinone. The following chemical components are commonly found in feminine wash, and it may result in effects such as spermicide, and allergic rash. This imbalance can lead to irritation, discomfort, and an increased risk of infections.
Dryness, Itching or Sensitivity
We also realised that feminine wash that contains chemical components such as sulfate, parabens, and artificial fragrances has a higher probability of drying out and irritating sensitive skin.
We understand that in this day and age, it is difficult to look out for products with little to no artificial formulations. Here at The Fonz - Le Charme, we differentiate ourselves by delivering a variety of effective products, we believe in including the best of both worlds which will in turn enhance the efficacy of the product. HH Feminine Intimate Fresh Spray’s formulation of lactic acid, sodium lactate, yeast extract, yogurt extract, and radish root ferment filtrate produces a wide range of bioactive ingredients which in turn aids in a natural self-defense mechanism.
Why pH Balance Matters for Feminine Hygiene
Earlier, we constantly mentioned the importance of ensuring a balanced pH for feminine hygiene, let us explain the importance of it to you! Your intimate flora naturally maintains a slightly acidic environment to protect against infections. Now, some of us might know that our intimate area is a self-cleansing mechanism, however, this mechanism does not apply to the urinary tract, which also consists of other organs such as the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. Bacteria can migrate to the urethra! This once again weaves in the importance of the use of feminine wash!
A good feminine wash will maintain a pH balance of around 3.6. It will also be mild and free from harsh chemicals, thus ensuring that natural moisture does not get stripped away. It is also enriched with natural ingredients that protect and nourish. All of these will contribute to ensuring and maintaining the following functions such as - balanced bacteria and reduced sensitivity, dryness, and discomfort around the skin barrier.
As fellow beauty advocates, we are strong advocates for natural feminine wash, that is unscented.
