Expert Tips For A Healthier Vagina

As our bodies change and many of us enter into our perimenopause era, things like dryness and discomfort can sneak up on us, but staying on top of our vaginal health can make a huge difference. A few smart tweaks to your routine can keep you feeling good and in control as you navigate this new chapter. 

Avoid Using Scented Anything
When showering, use a mild scent-free soap on the vulva only. Stay away from scented tampons, pads, powders, & DO NOT douche. Douching and feminine deodorants ruin the natural PH levels of your vagina, causing harmful bacteria & leading to infection.
 
Have More S*x – Or Use a Vibrator
The ‘Big O’ can reduce the risk of UTIs and improve pelvic floor strength, which may help with urinary incontinence. They also boost blood flow, enhancing vaginal health, lubrication, and elasticity, which eases menopause symptoms like dryness and helps prevent vaginal atrophy.
 
Use Natural Lubricants & Wear Cotton
Experts often advise against using lubricants that contain parabens, petroleum, glycerin, or other sugars.  If you can't pronounce an ingredient, there's a good chance your body might struggle to process it. Wearing cotton allows your vagina to breathe, which keeps you fresh and dry, preventing infections & any unwanted odour.
 
Eat A Vagina Friendly Diet
Probiotics support healthy vaginal bacteria, while high-fiber foods may help prevent infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV). The quality of your diet also impacts vaginal health—diets high in processed foods can disrupt pH balance and increase the risk of BV.
