Intimate hygiene in summer: the right steps to stay fresh, comfortable and serene
☀️ When heat rhymes with discomfort
Summer is a season we look forward to: sun, vacations, swimming... But when temperatures rise, our intimate areas can quickly become a source of discomfort . Perspiration, friction, infections... there are many inconveniences that can impact your daily well-being.
Fortunately, there are simple, natural and effective ways to gently maintain your intimate hygiene in summer . 🧊🌸
🌿 The effects of heat on the intimate flora
Heat promotes perspiration , which in turn creates a humid environment conducive to the proliferation of bacteria and fungi . The result: burning sensations, itching, unusual discharge, etc.
Your vaginal flora is a delicate ecosystem that needs to be pampered, especially during the warmer months. Wearing tight clothing or synthetic underwear, wiping from back to front, or using harsh gels can easily upset your intimate microbiota.
Maholi's advice : choose breathable cotton underwear, change after each swim and avoid perfumed or unsuitable protection for your flow.
💧 Adopt a gentle and natural hygiene routine
No need to " over " wash. Yes, you read that right! The intimate area should be cleaned sparingly to preserve its natural balance. Two washes per day maximum, with a gentle cleansing product with a physiological pH , is more than enough.
And above all, avoid douching , which disrupts the flora. Rinsing with clean water may even be enough after swimming.
For a boost of freshness during the day, consider natural wipes without alcohol or perfume.

🧘Move, breathe, listen to yourself: other allies for your intimate well-being
In summer, we sweat more, we eat differently, and sometimes we move less... So many factors that influence your intimate comfort . Moving regularly (even walking barefoot in the grass), staying well hydrated , avoiding excess sugar or alcohol are small gestures that make a difference.
Stress can also weaken the flora. Remember to integrate moments of relaxation into your day: breathing , gentle yoga, or even meditation with a fresh Holi installed, for a moment of summer self-care . 🌺🧘
