Step up your hygiene game from morning to night with feminine wash, wipes, and sprays from our selection. Choose products which are chemical- and fragrance-free for best results.
Feminine wash is specifically formulated to maintain the slightly acidic pH balance of women’s vagina, which may otherwise be upset by regular soap products that can change this delicate balance and enable bacteria to thrive and cause infections.
pH Care Natural Protection Feminine Wash
This intimate wash is pH-balanced to meet the natural level of skin pH and offers gentle care for delicate areas around your vulvar area, including protection from irritation with its light floral scent and protective qualities. Dermatologist-tested, gynecologist-recommended and cruelty-free – it will leave you feeling clean and confident all day.
As with other personal hygiene products, the vulva and vagina are particularly sensitive to certain ingredients. Fragrances should be kept out of this sensitive area – even natural fragrances – as they may disrupt vaginal flora balance as well as mask symptoms associated with conditions like bacterial vaginosis.
When searching for feminine washes, consider those with as few ingredients as possible – ideally just the essentials. Avoid products containing fragrances, sulfates, parabens and SLS; opt for organic and natural alternatives containing prebiotics that promote beneficial microbe growth instead.
Prebiotics are nutrients that support healthy bacteria in your vulva. You can include them in your diet through foods like yogurt and garlic, or you could try using a feminine wash with prebiotics tailored specifically for this area of your body – like this one featuring real Guava Leaf extract, which has long been used to combat odor-causing bacteria and OdorProTech technology to keep you feeling fresh all day long!
Monistat Maintain Feminine Cleanser with Boric Acid
These intimate wash suppositories feature boric acid – a trusted ingredient of millions of women – for daily vaginal odor control and pH balance, offering daily protection from yeast infections with just one daily use.
Both Monistat Maintain and Summer’s Eve products are promoted with an emphasis on boric acid, an ingredient millions are familiar with from OTC Monistat yeast infection treatments. Unfortunately, boric acid is classified as a Category 1B reproductive toxicant and according to the Safety Data Sheets for both products contains an extremely high level of toxicity; marketing for these intimate washes falsely suggests it controls vaginal odor when no evidence supports such claims; its inclusion implies otherwise and is therefore deceptively misleading.
Like regular body washes that contain ingredients like sulfates, parabens and fragrances, intimate washes are designed specifically to clean the delicate skin around the vulva and can alter its delicate ecosystem, potentially leading to itchy sensations, itching or dryness and increasing risk of yeast infections. Furthermore, feminine washes must contain balanced pH levels in order to preserve natural vaginal flora while protecting against irritation or dryness; for optimal performance it is wise to choose non-irritating, gynecologist approved products.
