How to maintain hygiene for a girl. What is female intimate hygiene? It prolongs life

TOPIC: Hygiene of girls, girls, women. Hygiene of the menstrual period. Sexual hygiene

Hygienic education of children from an early age, as well as their parents, serves as a means of preventing inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary organs. Sex education plays an important role in the rehabilitation of girls suffering from menstrual dysfunction.

Hygiene of childhood. From the moment the girl is born, additional rules must be observed when caring for her. For the most part, this concerns the care of the genitals. To maintain cleanliness, the genitals are gently washed daily with warm water and neutral detergents from front to back (so as not to bring the contents of the rectum into the vagina) with soft napkins.

Particular attention should be paid to the prevention of infection. Usually, these diseases are transmitted by sick mothers if they sleep with their children, or when washing their children with poorly washed hands. It is also dangerous to share towels, sponges, etc.

General hygiene rules are reduced to proper and rational nutrition, taking into account the peculiarities of physical development. It is necessary to teach the girl to empty her intestines and bladder in a timely manner, since the overflow of these organs can lead to a change in the normal position of the uterus.

Girls should avoid heavy physical work.

Clothing and shoes for girls should not impede movement and prevent normal breathing and blood circulation. To prevent irritation of the genitals, the girl should change her underwear every day.

Of great importance is the overload of girls with schoolwork. Overwork not only adversely affects the general state of health, but can also be the cause of menstrual irregularities.

A full-fledged hygienic education of girls should be carried out at home or at a pediatric gynecologist's appointment, students of obstetric colleges working in adolescent centers, in the family planning service, as well as in the implementation of healthy lifestyle and valueology programs can be involved.

Hygiene of girls during puberty.

The growth of sexual hair growth, activation of the sebaceous and gonads requires increased attention to keeping the skin and mucous membranes clean. In adolescence, even more carefully than in childhood, the girl must follow the rules of genital hygiene.

Compliance with the rules of general and intimate hygiene applies to the chest and armpits. In adolescence, the sweat glands are actively functioning. If hygiene is not observed, they can become blocked, followed by a very unpleasant odor. Therefore, twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, it is necessary to take a shower. The use of only deodorants, scented sanitary pads, wipes is highly undesirable.

The increase in physiological whiteness during puberty forces one to resort to more frequent washings, using special intimate hygiene products with a neutral environment. Often they resort to the use of daily pads, since vaginal discharge, accumulating on the external genital organs or underwear, causes skin irritation, itching, and the addition of microorganisms can provoke the onset of the development of the inflammatory process.

Teenage girls not having menstruation, washing the external genitalia with running water should be done at least 1-2 times a day.

Hygiene of menstruating girls.

It is necessary to explain to girls the essence of the manifestation of menstruation and hygiene rules during menstruation, the difference between the sexes, the physiology of the woman's body, and childbirth. The first menstruation most often begins at 12-14 years of age. This event is extremely important, both from a biological and psychological point of view. Every girl should keep a so-called menstruation calendar, that is, record the time of onset, duration and intensity of menstruation.

The arrival of menstruation may require a change in the daily regimen: you should sleep longer, avoid stressful situations and “scary” films and stories. Physical exercise has a preventive and therapeutic effect.

Loads on the days of menstruation should be limited, tension of the abdominal muscles, coups, jumps, power moves are excluded, it is desirable to exercise in groups with reduced physical activity. In case of poor tolerability of classes or with a pathological course of menstruation, girls are completely exempted from classes by the decision of the teacher, school nurse, school doctor or pediatric gynecologist.

During menstruation intimate hygiene should be given special attention. These days, the genitals are especially susceptible to infection due to some decrease in the body's defenses. Blood is an ideal environment for the life and reproduction of bacteria. At this time, you should especially carefully wash the external genitalia 2-3 times a day with running water using various intimate hygiene products.

It is better to wash in the shower, take a bath and visit the bath should not be. First, the external genital organs are washed, then the skin of the thighs, and lastly, the anus. Linen must be changed daily.

During menstruation, it is recommended to use special pads and tampons. The popularity of intravaginal (vaginal) tampons is increasing. They are used by both mature women, brought up on the same hygienic traditions, and very young girls. As for the use of tampons in virgins, then, according to P. Pendegrass (1991), in the absence of anatomical abnormalities in the structure of the hymen, there are no obstacles to the use of tampons. The use of tampons does not lead to a change in the acid-base ratio during menstrual days.

The use of tampons, as the author testifies, does not cause changes in the normal vaginal microflora for menstrual days. The use of tampons does not affect local immunity, does not cause cervical disease, does not cause changes in the parameters of the menstrual cycle and does not provoke the development of endometriosis of the genitals. By the age of menarche (12-14 years), in most girls, the hymen has an annular shape and fringed, softly elastic edges, the diameter of the hymenal opening reaches 1.5-2 cm. For comparison, the maximum diameter of Tampax application tampons is 1.3 cm. When soaked in menstrual flow, the tampon increases in length, not in width. During the days of menstruation, the hymenal opening increases, and the hymen has a greater extensibility. Before you start using tampons, you should read the instructions, and if something is not clear, you should contact a specialist. The swab is inserted with clean, freshly washed hands for 3-4 hours. In this case, you should remember the time of insertion of the tampon.

However, it should be remembered that any, even the most modern pads and tampons, soaked in menstrual flow after a few hours become not only a source of an unpleasant specific odor, but also a place for active reproduction of bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended to change pads and tampons at least 3-4 times a day in combination with washing the genitals and thighs 2-3 times a day.

Nowadays, girls are interested in sexual relations, often much more actively than their parents think. However, not all women of reproductive age have the necessary knowledge of sexual hygiene.

Some sections of sex education should start from childhood:

for younger schoolgirls - genital hygiene;

for girls of middle and senior school age, anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system, preparation for menarche, physiology of the reproductive system, pregnancy, psychology of gender relations are taught;

for girls of senior school age, teaching topics such as contraception, ethics and psychology of gender relations, preparation for motherhood, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, anatomy and physiology of intimate relationships.

Girls need to know that the use of steroidal contraceptives does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, the use of vaginal tampons is acceptable (virgins can); you need to know the most favorable time for conception, know the duration of the menstrual cycle, that is, you should keep a menstrual calendar.

The most effective in sexual education are individual or group conversations of a doctor or psychologist, books, films and television films, lectures, and practical classes at school conducted by physicians. It is necessary to talk about the dangers of smoking, drinking alcohol, early onset of sexual activity. Thus, the tasks of sexual education include:

providing information about the anatomical structure and functioning of the female and male reproductive system;

instilling the skills of proper hygienic care for the external genital organs of a girl, including during menstruation;

information about the main acute and chronic diseases of the female reproductive system, the causes of their formation, as well as methods of prevention;

the formation of positive reproductive attitudes, the study of various ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy;

familiarity with the ways of spread, possible consequences and methods of prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection;

psychological and sexological preparation of a girl for a future sexual partnership, information about the physiological and psychological differences between the sexes, different types of sexual activity, sexual orientation, intimate life hygiene.

Hygiene of menopausal women. Compliance with hygiene rules throughout life is the key to a successful menopause.

General wiping with water at room temperature, warm baths (35-37 ° C), and exposure to fresh air bring great benefits to the body. Light physical exercises, especially for women who are engaged in mental work, contribute to a milder course of menopause. Much attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the skin, in particular the genitals. Daily hygienic washing with warm water and soap should become a habit.

The requirements of hygiene in the elderly and senile age do not differ significantly from those in the previous periods of a woman's life.

The rules of personal hygiene of a woman are associated with the physiological characteristics of the female body. This means that along with the generally accepted principles of personal hygiene, additional rules are required throughout life. These additional rules should be observed from an early age of the girl, in order to prevent various inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system.

Feminine hygiene rules

All the fair sex knows that underwear should be changed regularly. In addition, daily hygiene procedures of the genital organs should be carried out. They should be washed with clean, soft and warm water. Moreover, the jet of water must be directed from front to back, and not vice versa. Toilet paper should also be used in this direction.

This is very important, as it allows you to protect yourself from getting into the vagina of infections, such as E. coli. This microorganism often causes inflammation of the female genital organs.

The modern world is characterized by poor ecology, which largely contributes to the emergence of various diseases, weakening of the immune system. Therefore, do not rely on chance, follow the elementary rules. When taking water procedures, try not to get the soap or gel that you use into the vagina. They can have a detrimental effect on the natural flora of the mucosa, which provokes the occurrence of an inflammatory process.

On the days of menstruation, do not forget to wash the genitals more often with clean, better boiled water, without soap. Such procedures should be at least 3-4 per day. These days, the inner surface of the uterus is extremely sensitive and vulnerable. It can easily get infected. Therefore, these days, refrain from swimming in open water, do not visit the sauna and pool. Shower daily, morning and evening. Sex is also undesirable these days.

However, the intimate hygiene of a woman's genitals is not only about daily water procedures. Sex education also applies to these rules. After all, it is no secret that a huge part of gynecological diseases is associated with the frequent change of sexual partners by a woman. And it is very sad that for these reasons young girls often get caught. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the norms of moral education, as well as talk about some aspects of sexual life in order to protect a young girl from wrong steps, and hence from many sexually transmitted diseases.

Another common cause of inflammatory diseases of the female genital area is hypothermia. The modern girl is more concerned about how she looks than whether she is warmly dressed. Youth fashion dictates its own style: short jackets, low-cut jeans or short skirts with thin tights. The result of blindly following fashion is inflammation of the appendages.

Therefore, it is very important from childhood to instill in a girl not only a taste for fashion, the ability to navigate it, but also respect for her health. We need to teach her to combine fashion and the necessary care for her health.

You should know that any inflammatory disease of the female genital area very easily becomes chronic. This guarantees the appearance of strong, persistent pain, medication, sometimes painful procedures and endless queues to the doctor. To avoid all this, you need to remember that a woman's personal hygiene is above all for her. Everyone knows them without exception, but each approaches them in its own way, often incorrectly. For example, often women's diseases are directly related to the use of low-quality sanitary pads, tampons, wearing synthetic underwear. And it is also very important for maintaining a woman's health.

Which sanitary pads to choose?

Modern trade offers a great variety of sanitary napkins from different manufacturers and companies. Such products for daily use are in great demand, as they help maintain cleanliness and freshness all day long. However, it is very important to carefully approach their choice.

When buying, make sure that the absorbent pad of such a pad is made of natural material. The top layer should also be made of natural, hygienically clean material that is safe for women's health. High-quality pads allow the skin to "breathe", keeping it from inflammation and diaper rash. This is especially true in hot weather when sweating increases. Therefore, you should properly approach the purchase of this delicate product.

Women who have undergone various operations, such as a caesarean section, or after childbirth, require special personal hygiene products. A real breakthrough in this direction can be called the appearance on the shelves of diapers specifically designed for adults. They solve emerging delicate problems of women after surgery. They can also be worn by pregnant women, in case of urinary incontinence. A woman's body can respond negatively to various irritants, so it is important to choose hypoallergenic hygiene products.

You should also adjust the choice of hygiene products according to age, because over time, a woman's skin type can change dramatically.

To maintain your health for many years, strictly follow these simple rules throughout your life. They are not recommended, but mandatory. From childhood, explain to your daughters all the consequences of improper self-care. This will save them from many health problems in the future.

Women, as a rule, carefully monitor their appearance and health, carrying out the daily necessary procedures for this. An important component of the general hygiene of the female body is intimate hygiene. Proper care of the “interesting place” will allow each of us to avoid many unpleasant diseases, including thrush, bacterial vaginosis, various inflammatory diseases, and the like. Failure to follow the rules of personal hygiene can also negatively affect reproductive health.

Daily care

The first thing I want to talk about is the daily procedures for washing away the intimate area. Many people think that this is a trifling matter. I took the soap, turned on the water, once or twice - and came out of the bath clean and fresh. In terms of the sequence of actions, everything is correct, but in terms of attitude to these actions - not quite. Let's try to explain why.

Let's start with soap. It is not recommended to use it for intimate hygiene, as it is incompatible with the vaginal microflora. The use of soap will lead to drying of the mucous membrane of the genital organs, which, you see, does not bode well. Moreover, it is not recommended that a woman's intimate hygiene be carried out using antibacterial soap. It will not only lead to dryness, but also destroy, along with harmful bacteria, the beneficial ones that exist in the microflora of the vagina.

To perform this hygiene, you should use special tools, which we will discuss below. You can buy them at a cosmetics store or at a pharmacy.
By the way, a woman should wash herself at least twice a day (in the morning and before going to bed), as well as before and after intimacy. You can use a special remedy once a day, and all other ablutions can be done with plain water. This is due to the fact that the mucous membrane of the intimate organs is very delicate and even special products, if used frequently, can harm it.

If for some reason a woman cannot use a special product for intimate hygiene, then it is better for her to use baby soap. It can be called a universal remedy that is suitable for any skin. It will not damage the mucous membrane of the female intimate place. As for the rejection of intimate cosmetics, it is often associated with the occurrence of an allergy to it.

Now let's talk about water. It must be warm (not higher than 30 degrees). Cold or hot water cannot be used. It is best to perform the procedure of ablution under running water. A stream of water (do not make it too strong) should be directed from the pubis down. The hand should also move during washing. The reverse movement promotes the movement of harmful bacteria from the anal area to the vaginal area, which is fraught with inflammatory processes.

It is not recommended to direct the stream of water directly into the vagina, as this can cause the beneficial lactobacilli to be washed out and dryness of the mucous membrane. As a result, the pH of the vagina will be disturbed and favorable conditions will be created for the development of inflammation and bacterial vaginosis. Also, experts in the field of gynecology do not recommend using washcloths for intimate hygiene, explaining that they can injure the delicate mucous membrane.

Such female intimate hygiene should be completed by wiping. But even here there are some peculiarities. Don't rub your genitals too hard. Just blot them with a soft cloth or towel. It goes without saying that the means for wiping (whether it be a towel or a napkin) should be intended only for these purposes. It must be changed every three days to eliminate the possibility of the emergence and development of bacteria.

Means for intimate hygiene

Now the turn has come to hygienic cosmetics for the intimate area. Today, various products are produced for these purposes, including gels, milk, creams, mousses and the like. All of them can be divided into two types: sexual and actually hygienic.

We will not dwell on the first type in detail, since these funds are used by and large only to give a pleasant smell. Let's talk in more detail about the second, since it is this intimate cosmetics that is intended for what is described in this article.

The main difference between these products and soap is that their acidity is as close as possible to the natural acidity of the vaginal microflora. And this suggests that cosmetics for intimate purposes acts on the female genital organs gently and gently, moisturizing them and removing existing irritation.

Unlike other cosmetics, an intimate hygiene product should not contain too many dyes and fragrances, which often become causative agents of allergic reactions. Information about its composition can be found on the label. Also make sure that lactobacilli are mentioned there. They help to maintain the normal microflora of the vagina.

Many types of intimate cosmetics also contain special natural ingredients that help get rid of minor troubles. So, for example, the presence of tea tree oil in a hygiene product suggests that it not only helps to thoroughly wash the intimate area, but also enhances the protective function of the genitals. And the presence of chamomile, calendula or aloe extract suggests that this intimate hygiene product helps to soothe the skin and heal small wounds and cracks.

A little about pads and napkins

Panty liners make life easier for women in many ways. With their help, you can maintain the hygiene of the intimate area and prevent the ingress of secretions on the linen. Agree, from wet laundry the sensations are not very pleasant, but everyone will like to feel “dry and comfortable”.

But you should use daily pads according to the rules. Otherwise, instead of feeling comfortable, you can earn a lot of trouble. So it is not recommended to wear one pad all day long. Absorbing moisture, it at the same time turns into an ideal breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria. To protect yourself from getting into the genital area, you need to change this hygiene product every three to four hours.

It should also be noted that female intimate hygiene is not a complete isolation of the genital organs. The skin must breathe, and panty liners prevent this. As a result, irritation, hives and allergic reactions may occur. There is only one way to avoid this - periodically take breaks in the use of gaskets.

Another achievement of our time is napkins for intimate hygiene. They are very convenient for use in those moments when, due to inappropriate conditions, a woman cannot perform the necessary procedures. When choosing this hygiene product, it is better to give preference to those types that contain herbal extracts or antimicrobial compounds. However, you should not get carried away with napkins, much less replace washing with them. Too frequent use of them can affect the microflora of the vagina and cause irritation.

Hygiene on critical days

During menstruation, a woman's intimate hygiene should be carried out more carefully, because discharge occurs constantly, and, as a result, excellent conditions are created for the appearance and reproduction of bacteria. And the wrong choice of underwear, humidity and constant wearing of a pad increase the risk of infection and development.

On critical days, in addition to the obligatory double washing, it is advisable to find time for an additional water procedure (or several, depending on the intensity of the discharge). If this is not possible, the aforementioned napkins will come to the rescue.
As for underwear, it is best to choose things from natural fabrics during such a period, since synthetics are airtight. The presence of a pad also interferes with normal air circulation, and this can cause infection. Cotton underwear allows the skin to breathe, so on such days it is indispensable.

Of the hygiene products during menstruation, women use pads or tampons. It is necessary to choose them based on the intensity of the secretions and, of course, from personal preferences. Tampons, for example, are suitable for lovers of an active lifestyle and in the case when you want to wear tight-fitting trousers or a short skirt.

Regardless of the choice of hygiene product, intimate hygiene will not be complete if you do not follow the rules for its use. Pads are recommended to be changed every three hours, as they can cause bacteria, and tampons even more often (two hours after insertion). The latter reside directly in the vagina, so it is very important to prevent the appearance of a favorable environment for the development of bacteria.

In addition to the named hygiene products used during critical days, today there is also a special bowl (another name is a cap), which is just beginning to gain popularity in the post-Soviet space. A menstrual cup is a small funnel made of flexible plastic or silicone that collects blood.

You need to choose this hygienic “device” based on the size of the vagina, since the method of its use is similar to the use of tampons. The cup should be emptied several times a day (the number of "drains" depends on the intensity of menstrual bleeding). After each emptying, it must be disinfected and then returned to its place.

This bowl can last more than one year, and, having become accustomed to wearing it, a woman will not feel discomfort either during her work duties or in ordinary life. Not everyone is allowed to use the bowl. For those who are prone to allergies to silicone, inflammation and other problems of the intimate area, this hygiene product is strictly prohibited. To find out exactly whether it suits you or not, it is better to consult a gynecologist.

Hygiene during pregnancy

Note that the intimate hygiene of a woman during pregnancy is not much different from hygiene in another period of life. True, there are some peculiarities here, which must be remembered. One of them is a more careful choice of intimate cosmetics for care. It should not contain dyes and fragrances. It is better to choose products that include herbal extracts (calendula, chamomile, and the like).

The second important point is the frequency of hygiene procedures. Since the amount of discharge increases during pregnancy, you will have to perform ablution procedures more often. How much more often - it depends on the intensity of the discharge and the health of the expectant mother. A doctor who advises a woman during pregnancy can help with the schedule of water procedures.

As for sanitary napkins and panty liners, pregnant women can use them. The main thing is that these hygiene products do not contain flavoring agents and alcohol.

Proper underwear is the key to the health of the genitals

Proper intimate hygiene of a woman implies the right choice of underwear. The best in this regard is cotton underwear. Choose it for everyday wear, but give preference to panties and thongs made of synthetic fabric only in exceptional cases, for example, if you are going to a romantic meeting.

Please note that at the point of contact of the panties with the crotch, there must be an insert made of cotton fabric. If there is none, and you really liked this underwear, then panty liners will help make up for its absence.
Another important point regarding the proper intimate hygiene of a woman: panties must be changed daily. At the same time, try to wash them separately from other things (clothing, bed linen, etc.).

As follows from the above, intimate hygiene is practically a whole science, knowing the basics of which you can always radiate freshness and purity. However, it is not so difficult to follow all the rules recommended by specialists in the field of gynecology, because they do not require special skills. The main thing is to steadily follow them.

Women's health is a special thing. Here, the slightest problems can lead to serious consequences. How often women run around clinics, undergoing numerous examinations and passing various tests. But gynecologists constantly remind that daily observance of simple rules of intimate hygiene can prevent many inflammatory and infectious diseases. The only thing that ladies should do is follow the recommendations of doctors.

At first glance, it seems that a woman's intimate hygiene does not imply anything complicated, the main thing is to wash yourself daily and change your underwear regularly. But as practice shows, being clean and healthy are two different things. Often, women during hygiene procedures make a number of mistakes that lead to a weakening of the microflora of the genital organs and an increase in the risk of contracting infectious diseases. How to do everything right to maintain your health?

Intimate hygiene rules for women

How to wash properly?

Be sure to wash your hands with soap before washing. During water procedures, it is not recommended to use sponges and washcloths so as not to injure the mucous membrane of the genital organs and cause irritation or even inflammation. We wash only with our hands and direct a stream of running water from front to back so as not to bring bacteria from the rectum to the genitals. Those microorganisms that perform beneficial functions in the intestines can cause an inflammatory process in the vagina, so you need to be careful. It is not advisable to wash yourself while sitting in a basin or in a bath. It will also increase the risk of dangerous bacteria entering the vagina.

It is advisable to wash at least 2 times a day, morning and evening. In one of these two times, you can use the gel for intimate hygiene. The second time I wash with just water. Doctors also recommend that women take a shower before and after intimacy.

At any time of the year, only warm water should be used. The towel for intimate hygiene should be soft. And wipe off after washing with gentle blotting movements. It is very important that the towel is not only your personal one, but also used only for the intimate area.

Do you need to douche?

Douching is washing the vagina with water. And if the woman is healthy, douching is not necessary. Normal daily intimate hygiene involves only washing. A procedure such as douching can only be prescribed by a doctor for medicinal purposes. In this case, the course of douching is only a few days. If you douche daily for no reason, this will lead to a violation of the pH of the vagina, the appearance of dryness of the mucous membranes, the washing out of beneficial lactobacilli from the vagina and the disruption of its normal microflora. All this can lead to bacterial vaginosis and provoke the development of an inflammatory process in the vagina.

After that, just wash the genitals with water. If a little sperm remains inside, there is nothing to worry about. Sperm is not able to lead to such negative consequences as frequent douching.

During and during douching is especially dangerous. Therefore, on critical days, doctors do not recommend women even take a bath. It's better to use the shower.

How to get rid of unpleasant odor from the vagina?

An unpleasant smell from the vagina is most often a sign of a disease of the genital organs. Therefore, before trying to get rid of it, it is necessary to visit a doctor and go through, especially if the smell has appeared recently.

If a faint smell is constantly present, perhaps this is due to the characteristics of the body. People themselves very rarely feel their own smell, but, nevertheless, it can be unpleasant for a sexual partner. And in this case, you need to take action.

First of all, you need to reconsider your own, exclude onions, garlic, peppers, beer from the diet. You should also try to drink more mint or plain green tea. In addition, you need to wash more often and be careful about the choice. It is worth taking panties only from natural materials in order to avoid the debate of the genitals due to synthetics.

Means for intimate hygiene of women

Soap for intimate hygiene

Ordinary soap is not suitable for use in delicate areas, as it dries out the mucous membrane. In addition, it creates an alkaline environment, while the natural environment of a woman's genitals is acidic. Violation of the normal level of acidity leads to a weakening of the protective properties of the internal environment of the vagina and provokes the reproduction of harmful bacteria. Therefore, it is imperative to use a special gel for intimate hygiene, which acts on the mucous membranes of the genital organs very gently and gently, cleansing and relieving irritation. Its acidity is close to the natural environment of the vagina, and it also contains more moisturizing ingredients.

When choosing a gel, you should pay attention to its color and smell, or rather, their absence. Means for intimate hygiene should not contain dyes and fragrances that can cause allergic reactions. It is good if the gel contains lactobacilli, which help maintain the normal microflora of the female genital organs, as well as chamomile extract, which helps relieve irritation.

Pads and tampons

Doctors advise ladies to give preference to pads and use tampons only in special cases. Although tampons help get rid of unpleasant odors during, they are also more reliable. Therefore, many women still often use them. Change both tampons and pads every 4 hours. If a dirty pad is in contact with the vagina for a longer period of time, this can lead to the development of an inflammatory process, since it creates a favorable environment for the reproduction of bacteria.

Panty liners

Despite the fact that this hygiene product is popular among women, doctors do not recommend using such pads every day. They are made of synthetic materials and interfere with the normal breathability of the underwear. Any woman during the day has a small amount of discharge that leaves a mark on her panties. And pads help keep your favorite underwear clean. But still, for health, it is better to use plain cotton panties and just wash them. And if you already use pads, you need to change them every 3-4 hours.

One of the main points in people's lives is personal hygiene, which each of us must observe. Especially the rules of personal hygiene should be observed by women. What do they need to do to always look beautiful, well-groomed and attractive?

Water procedures

It is best to take a shower in the evening and in the morning. If this is not possible, then only in the evening. Washing hands, feet, face, underarms, chest and washing should be a mandatory daily procedure. You can take a full bath once or twice a week, while you can add fragrant oils and sea salt. In a word, the mood should be completely relaxed and positive. When taking water procedures, it is recommended to use special shower gels and washcloths, while sponges should be made only from natural fibers and individual. By the way, a towel is also a subject of individual use.

intimate hygiene

Personal hygiene of a person should include intimate hygiene. Washing should be done in the morning and evening with running water in the direction from the pubis to the anus. Doctors recommend using a special intimate soap for these purposes, a simple soap can contribute to the violation of the vaginal microflora. To wet the intimate area, you should have a separate towel.

Underwear

Personal hygiene of clothes also includes underwear, beautiful lacy underwear may not be very practical and pleasant in everyday wear. It is better to choose panties from natural fabrics that will cover the buttocks, fit snugly to the body, but do not restrict movement. Gynecologists do not advise girls to wear bikini briefs, as the fabric can lead to rubbing of the external genital organs, which leads to inflammation of the mucous membrane and discomfort. Remember not only the beauty of underwear, but, first of all, its cleanliness.

Heel and nail care

A huge number of various harmful microorganisms and bacteria gather under dirty nails, so personal hand hygiene is a must. It is important to regularly care for your nails, not only on the hands, but also on the legs. Cleanliness is the key to health, as folk wisdom says. Remember to clean your nails regularly and file or trim them. Our heels need special care. Do not allow the formation of corns, scuffs and calluses on them. Systematically use a pumice stone to clean the heels and feet from skin keratinized scales.

In addition to all of the above, personal hygiene requirements include the availability of an individual toothbrush and paste, your own comb, and, of course, personal underwear.

Thorough oral care

As you know, non-compliance with personal hygiene can lead to some diseases of the internal organs, and most diseases begin their journey in the oral cavity. Teeth should be cleaned every morning with a special paste on a natural basis, and the spaces between the teeth with a toothpick or dental floss. After each meal, it is recommended to rinse your mouth thoroughly. If you notice bad breath, it is recommended that you visit your dentist immediately. In order to timely remove the stone from the teeth, detect caries or cure the gums, it is recommended to visit the dentist twice a year. To prevent your gums from hurting, it is recommended to eat more food that can strengthen teeth and gums. Avoid fatty foods that form acid and destroy tooth enamel.

Perfect purity of hair

The personal hygiene of a girl must necessarily include hair care, and no matter how long they are - long or short. Hair should be washed at least once or twice a week, while to preserve the natural color, as well as give the hair shine and elasticity, after washing, it is recommended to rinse them with nettle or chamomile infusion. Head massage is a must for stimulating and improving hair growth. You can do such a massage, both with your hands and with a massage brush. Dry your hair very carefully, choosing them with a towel.

How to deal with acne?

If you do not follow the basic rules of personal hygiene, then acne can form. Why is this happening? Everything in the human body is interconnected. If the rules of personal hygiene are not followed, the sebaceous glands begin to clog, resulting in acne on the face and other parts of the body. Most importantly, in no case do not try to squeeze them out with your own hands, as you can introduce an infection.

Try not to wash your face with plain water, it is best to wipe your face with a special lotion, and also use a foam cleanser. It is also necessary to know that in most cases, the condition of the skin directly depends on the quality of sleep and nutrition. Pay special attention to these two steps. Salty, spicy and fatty foods, as well as a lot of sweet and starchy foods, can affect your skin.

Healthy skin needs vitamin A (liver, egg yolk, butter and fish oil). It is also extremely useful to use brewer's yeast, which can restore metabolic disorders. Also, the cause of acne is a stressful situation, so try to be less nervous.
