Your feminine area is a very sensitive area. Not everyone and not everything can come close. Therefore, you have to be extra careful with your vagina. The reason is, chemicals or the nature of certain things are dangerous for the vagina. Whether caring for femininity or when making love, pay close attention to the 8 things you should keep away from the vagina below.
1. Feminine soap
You may have often watched or seen advertisements for feminine soaps. The promise that feminine soap offers does sound convincing. However, the vagina is a very intelligent and independent organ. The vagina has its own way of cleaning itself and preventing infection with germs and bacteria that cause disease or bad odors. There is no need to use special soap to clean and treat the area.
Besides unnecessary, feminine soap also contains various harsh chemicals such as preservatives, fragrances, and alcohol. These ingredients can cause irritation and kill various good bacteria that live in the vaginal area. Cleaning with warm water is enough to maintain the health of the intimate organs.

As with tea tree oil, use baby oil as a substitute for vaginal lubricating gel is also not a good idea. The reason is, dr. Mary Jane Minkin warns that oil-based lubricants are difficult to clean. Even though you've rinsed it, baby oil will still stick to the vaginal area. If left unchecked, leftovers baby oil can enter the inside of the vagina. Various bad bacteria will stick together and get stuck together baby oil in your feminine area. As a result, the vagina is actually a place for bacteria to nest and breed.

6. Tattoos
Having a feminine tattoo sounds sexy. However, the skin in your intimate area is much more sensitive than the rest of your body. Exposure to harsh chemicals from tattoo ink and the process of injecting tattoos with needles can cause serious irritation and infection. Even ink from (non-permanent) water tattoos can cause vaginal infections.
7. Hair removal cream
The chemicals in depilatory creams are very harsh and a danger to the vagina. These creams are prone to causing blisters on the surface of the vaginal skin. This increases the risk of infection and allergic reactions. So, although shaving pubic hair sometimes makes the vagina feel uncomfortable, it's still safer than using a depilatory cream.
8. Sex toy which is not clean
If you and your partner often use sex toys to increase intimacy, also pay attention to cleanliness. Wash sex toys thoroughly with hot water and soap after each use. Don't use sex toys alternately. This is at risk of causing the transmission of venereal diseases. We recommend that if sex toys already touched the anal area, wash it off immediately. Do not put it on or put it near your vagina, as bacteria from the anus will transfer to your female area.
