Frequent questions

General

Why is the skin in the intimate area different from the skin on the face and requires special care?

Like the skin on your face, it can experience skin conditions such as irritation, dryness, and aging. However, the skin on the vulva (skin surrounding the vagina) is more sensitive because it is thinner than other parts of the body. It is also a hormone-receptive tissue that becomes more sensitive during different stages such as menstrual cycles and menopause. Furthermore, the skin of the vulva is always covered or covered, and subjected to friction and friction, this being one of the most sensitive areas of our body and one of the most neglected. The different hormonal stages as well as inappropriate habits such as cleaning with soap that is not specific for the intimate area, wearing tight or synthetic underwear, wiping from back to front, not urinating after having sexual relations, unbalanced eating, or even stress and consumption Antibiotics can disturb this natural balance and cause urinary and vulvovaginal infections.

What is pH?

pH means “hydrogen potential,” and the pH level is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of the medium. pH values ​​range from 1 to 14, with 7 being a neutral pH value. Values ​​below 7 are more acidic and values ​​greater than 7 are more basic or alkaline.

Why do I need a specific cleansing lotion for the intimate area?

Facial skin has an average pH of 5.5, while vulvovaginal intimate skin is below 4.5. Using an intimate cleansing soap with a higher pH can alter the balance of beneficial bacteria that protect the vulvovaginal area.

Why is it important to maintain the natural pH in the vaginal area?

The vaginal flora is made up of a population of microorganisms. When in balance, “good” bacteria (mainly Lactobacilli) predominate over “bad” bacteria. This causes the vaginal pH to remain between 3.8 and 4.5. However, alterations in this balance can occur that cause bad bacteria to proliferate, generating a vulvovaginal infection. When there are vulvovaginal infections, the pH can change, reaching 6.0 or more. Therefore, it is important to maintain the appropriate pH to avoid the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria. Our products are specifically formulated with an approximate pH of 4.5 to maintain the balance of vaginal flora.

Is the smell in the intimate area normal? Can it be avoided or controlled?

Intimate odor is absolutely normal and most women have it. Odors can be caused by poor hygiene, sweat, bacteria and hormonal fluctuations. When the odor becomes very intense or very strong and accompanied by irregular discharge, it could be indicating an infection.

Although at Biolube we believe in normalizing the vagina and its odor, we understand that it can cause discomfort in some women and our purpose is to make us feel full and comfortable, which is why we created a specific intimate deodorant and purifying product “V fresh & ready” to neutralize unwanted odors, refresh and provide comfort. It is recommended to use it after the “V Happy Everyday” cleansing lotion.

Is vaginal discharge normal?

Yes, vaginal discharge is totally normal and we all have it. It can vary during different hormonal stages and within the menstrual cycle in terms of texture. If the discharge changes to a stronger color and is accompanied by a very intense odor, it could be indicating an infection. We recommend incorporating a daily washing and intimate care routine with the “V Happy Everyday” cleansing lotion followed by the “V Fresh & Ready” purifying deodorant. This habit keeps the pH balanced and helps prevent the growth of infectious microorganisms.
