Our most sensitive skin is the skin surrounding the vaginal region and, as we all know, it’s important to stay clean down there. Turns out, the vagina is actually self-cleaning with its natural discharge, so you don’t have to worry about that. However, the labia and vulva area do need to be cleansed to protect your vagina.
But, if it’s so sensitive, how are we supposed to wash down there? The answer is: carefully. This means choosing the right products that will be gentle while cleansing.
Using the wrong cleanser can lead to serious problems, including vaginal infections. No one wants that. When it comes to the sensitive skin down there, soaps and cleansers that have irritating fragrances, dyes, silicones, or exfoliants will do more damage than good. You want a cleanser that has non-irritating, vagina safe ingredients that will soothe and moisturize the skin while balancing your pH and preventing dirt or foreign bacteria from doing their worst. Good news: the new pH Balancing Wash from Wisp checks all the boxes!
First, let’s just say that some “pH-balancing” or “pH-friendly” labeled cleansers are just that—labels. It’s important to dig a little deeper to see if these special cleansers are gentle enough for sensitive skin. Thankfully, Wisp’s Balancing Wash was formulated by a medical team with their Medical Director, Dr. Laura Purdy, using natural ingredients that are safe and effective. It’s made with aloe to soothe and moisturize while lavender acts as a natural antiseptic to maintain healthy skin. Plus, it has marigold to calm the skin and prevent inflammation (I didn’t even know marigold did that).
A lot of vaginal washes contain heavy fragrances that can be irritating, especially to those who are already sensitive to artificial scents. The Wisp balancing cleanser has none of that harmful garbage and it’s actually safe enough to use everyday! Pretty impressive. And if you’re prone to vaginal infections, incorporating this Balancing Wash into your routine can help maintain your vaginal health.
Basically, this Balancing Wash is exactly what a lot of us need. Whether it’s daily cleansing, infection prevention, or post-sexy time freshening up, this gentle cleanser does the job without causing irritation. Thank you, Wisp!
