Taking care of your vulva and vaginal health doesn't have to be complicated. A consistent, gentle routine can make a significant difference in your comfort and overall well-being. Here’s a simple guide to help you create an effective vulva and vaginal wellness routine using natural, organic products alongside easy and empowering lifestyle changes.
1. Start with Clean, Gentle Hygiene
Washing your vulva with water is actually enough. Some folks do opt for a light fragrance free soap, though it is not necessary. This the foundation of a good wellness routine. Rinse after sweaty activities or swimming.
2. Incorporate a Hydrosol for Soothing Relief
A hydrosol can be a fantastic addition to your routine, especially if you experience irritation or discomfort throughout the day.
- Recommendation: The Momotaro Apotheca Organic Hydrosol is perfect for on-the-go or post shower relief. It’s made with therapeutic-grade ingredients like rose water and orange blossom known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Simply spritz the hydrosol on your face, body and vulva for instant comfort and freshness. This is also a great option if a shower is not in the schedule.
3. Balance Your Microbiome with a Probiotic
Maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome is crucial for preventing infections and maintaining overall vaginal health. Incorporate a probiotic supplement into your daily routine to support this balance.
- Recommendation: Consider a daily probiotic that’s specifically formulated for vaginal health. Our clinically proven probiotic blend delivers 25 billion active cultures and 10 strains of beneficial bacteria that help restore balance in the vaginal microbiome while regulating digestion and supporting gut-immune health.
4. Stay Hydrated and Eat a Balanced Diet
Your lifestyle plays a huge role in your vaginal health. Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables can help keep your body (and your vagina) healthy.
- Lifestyle Tip: Incorporate foods rich in probiotics like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kombucha into your diet. These foods can help maintain your vaginal pH and prevent infections.
5. Practice Safe and Comfortable Sexual Habits During Sexual Activity
Sexual health is a key component of vaginal wellness. Using protection, staying well-lubricated, and cleaning up afterward are essential practices.
- Recommendation: After sex, you can use the Momotaro Apotheca Salve. This organic product can soothe discomfort after intercourse. Apply it directly to the vulva as part of your aftercare routine.
6. Regular Check-ups with Your Healthcare Provider
Finally, remember that regular visits to your healthcare provider are crucial for maintaining vaginal health. They can offer personalized advice and check for any potential issues.
