Stress, fatigue, short nights, lack of exercise… Many small, everyday details can disrupt the balance of your vaginal flora. The result? A persistent feeling of dampness, heavier discharge, and a stronger odor. This is often a sign that harmful bacteria have taken over the area. The solution? Restore a healthy balance: take care of your lifestyle, avoid overly harsh washing, and, if necessary, consult a healthcare professional.
Too much sweat? The heat isn’t helping…
In summer , between tight skirts, long days, and synthetic clothing , our intimate areas can quickly turn into a mini sauna. Sweat gets trapped there, bacteria thrive, and odor intensifies. To minimize this, opt for cotton underwear, avoid tight pants, and remember to change after exercising or a long day in the sun. And, of course, a gentle wash with a pH-balanced product is essential.
Some treatments can turn everything upside down.
Antibiotics, dietary supplements (especially those based on protein or omega-3), and even certain pills can affect the body’s natural balance. Sometimes it’s subtle: a slightly different odor, a slight feeling of unusual variation . Again, there’s nothing to worry about as long as it’s occasional. If the phenomenon persists or is accompanied by other signs (irritation, abnormal discharge, etc.), a quick medical check-up will put your mind at ease.
Our tips for finding a continuous feeling of freshness
- Gentle but regular hygiene : Daily cleansing with lukewarm water and a suitable skincare product is sufficient. Excessive rubbing or the use of perfumed products is unnecessary, as these can irritate the area.
- Cotton underwear : Choose comfortable and breathable underwear. Avoid synthetic materials, especially in summer or when it’s hot.
- Listen to your body : increased flow, strong odor, discomfort? These are signs. It’s best to seek medical help quickly rather than let a minor discomfort persist.
Feeling good about your own body also means learning to listen to it and take care of it gently.
