There are many feminine washes available on the market, so many in fact, that it can seem a bit of a minefield when deciding which one to pick in the supermarket.
The NHS recommends we use plain, unperfumed soaps to wash the area around the vagina because the vagina does “clean itself”.
That said, the NHS also says that good perineal hygiene is necessary, which many include washing the area more than once a day during mensuration.
We’ve whittled down the very best in feminine hygiene products and selected the most natural, gentle washes worthy of any shower-time routine.
Some women find using a gentler wash around the vagina area to work better than using their usual shower gel.
Everyday shower gels can be perfumed and a little harsh on sensitive areas, causing itching and discomfort.
These feminine washes work whether you’re at the gym, on your period or as part of a daily routine.
From Faith In Nature’s ultra-gentle cleanser to Femfresh’s shower and shave creme, there’s a hygiene for everybody.
