Do you know how to properly care for your intimate area?

Just like facial skincare, it's important to gently wash and moisturize your intimate area, which is prone to issues like stuffiness and friction.

We'll introduce you to intimate care methods you might want to revisit, along with fermata's recommended specialized care items!

【What kind of body part is the intimate area?】*

Generally refers to the vulva and its surroundings, and as the name suggests, it is a very delicate area.

➀ The skin is thinner than eyelids

➁ Prone to rubbing from sanitary pads, etc.

➂ Poor ventilation and prone to stuffiness

➃ Complex structure and easily accumulates dirt

 

【Intimate area care methods】*

① Hot water can be irritating, so wash with lukewarm water.

② Take a foamed specialized soap in your hand and gently massage it in with your fingertips.

POINT

V-zone
Wash by drawing circles with your index, middle, and ring fingers.
I-zone
Wash the outer grooves of the labia by gently stroking up and down with your index finger.Gently wash both sides of the groin in circles.
O-zone
Gently wash around the anus by drawing 4-5 circles.

◆ Because it's a delicate area, wash it carefully with a specialized wash.

③ After rinsing, gently pat dry with a towel. Just like face care, moisturize with products specifically for the intimate area.

The intimate area is prone to tightness from underwear, stuffiness, and friction from sanitary products, so hydrate thoroughly with specialized items.

④ The material of the shorts you wear daily is also important. In addition to design, it's good to choose breathable ones. Cotton material is recommended for those with sensitive skin.

If you are concerned about stuffiness during your period, menstrual cups are also recommended!
