Feminine Hygiene is a debated topic among women. Many do not know enough about the subject and feel uncomfortable discussing it with friends and family or asking their doctor questions.

To help clarify a common aspect of feminine hygiene, we will discuss what a douche is and how Intimore™ washes differ.

What is a Douche?

The term douche refers to a device used to introduce a stream of liquid into the body for hygienic purposes. The liquid is typically either water, a combination of water and vinegar, or antiseptic chemicals. Moreover, the body part most commonly associated with douching is the vagina. It is also sometimes referred to as “vaginal irrigation” or “rinsing of the vagina”.

Many doctors and health professionals feel strongly against douching. They claim that the process is dangerous because it interferes with the natural cleansing of the vagina and bacterial culture. The interference can often lead to irritation, mostly in the form of a yeast infection.

How does Intimore™ differ?

Intimore™ products are hygienic and medically oriented for external use. They include feminine washes, lubricate gels, and cleansing wipes.

Intimore™ products contain ingredients like Lactic Acid and allantoin, which enhance the vaginas natural protection instead of taking away what the body needs. The products are for external use and not internally used, so they do not cause yeast infections or irritation. They rather prevent an imbalance of vaginal organisms, which could lead to infectivity. The products are also free of chemical preservatives, are free of Paraben and SLS and finally are for daily use.
