How to choose a deodorant for intimate hygiene?
Deodorant for intimate hygiene is designed to solve the problem of a specific odor that occurs in the most delicate areas of the human body. Today, special female and male versions of perfume and hygiene products are produced, masking aromas that appear with increased physical activity or overheating of the body. They take into account the peculiarities of the pH of the skin, are hypoallergenic and can have both an exclusively deodorant effect and a complex effect on the intensity of the glands.
Peculiarities
Excessive sweating is especially common in the summer or winter months, when the body overheats under warm clothing and the glands work more intensively. Before choosing a female deodorant for the intimate area, it is imperative to understand the causes of sweating... This may be due to the peculiarities of the anatomy or hormonal imbalance, as well as to the individual characteristics of the organism. In any case, excessive sweating causes some discomfort and requires a solution to the problem.
The main task that a deodorant for intimate hygiene solves is to eliminate unpleasant odors and improve the overall level of cleanliness and freshness of the skin in the genital area.... Most of the formulations on the market have only a cosmetic effect and do not fight perspiration as such. But there are also full-fledged antiperspirants that can regulate the degree of intensity of the work of the glands.
In this case, the result of using the composition will be not only the absence of extraneous odors from linen and clothes, but also dryness of the skin.
Since deodorant for the intimate area has a rather delicate area of application, the requirements for its quality and properties are also quite high. A neutral level of acidity is mandatory, since the microflora of the genital organs is very sensitive to its change and can react to outside interference with manifestations of dysbiosis. The absence of alcohol is also an important feature of such products; silver ions or lactic acid act here as an antibacterial component.
When is it necessary to apply?
The use of deodorants for intimate hygiene is necessary in cases where a woman has hyperhidrosis, is overweight, provoking increased sweating, or there are problems in the endocrine system. In addition, problems may arise with existing violations in the state of the microflora of delicate areas. Thrush and other fungal diseases during treatment provoke the appearance of specific odors that can greatly complicate the life of an adult.
Hot weather is the reason why even people who usually do not suffer from excessive sweating resort to intimate deodorants. In addition to performing its main function, the composition applied to the skin can prevent the appearance of chafed areas on the skin surface, minimize rashes after shaving or epilation. Year-round use of these hygiene products is indicated for people who spend most of their time in a sitting position.... In this case, you won't have to worry about the cleanliness and freshness of your linen and clothes, even after a long working day.

Selection recommendations
You should choose the right deodorant for intimate hygiene. First of all, it is recommended to pay attention to the composition of the product. It should not contain alcohol, aluminum, and other chemically aggressive substances. Be sure to make sure that the deodorant is chemically neutral. Its acidity should be in the range of 3.3-4.5 pH.
An indicator of high quality will be the presence of silver ions in the composition - a natural antibacterial ingredient that eliminates the main cause of odor. Lactate (lactic acid) will also be a useful ingredient, which makes the composition of the hygiene product similar to the microflora of the genital mucosa. Once on your skin, the deodorant is unlikely to cause irritation.
Natural extracts of plant materials (chamomile, calendula), although they have a pronounced disinfecting effect, in such products they have rather a homeopathic concentration and do not have a direct effect on the fight against odors. But a sharp perfume fragrance is a reason to refuse to buy, since such compositions are often more aggressive and can cause skin irritation.
