A woman’s vagina naturally cleanses itself, however maintaining proper, simple feminine hygiene is still crucial to preventing infections and disease. Here are some hygiene tips women should practice:
• Wash after using the bathroom. Any lingering urine can cause infection and/or odor. Make sure you dry the area after washing for any retaining water may cause a yeast infection.

• Women should always wash after sexual intercourse.

• During the menstrual cycle, women should change their tampon or pad every 4-6 hours. If sanitary products are not being changed as frequent as they should, it could cause odor and increase a woman’s chance of getting an infection.

• Always wash after a swim at the beach or local pool. Sand can cause irritation not to mention sitting in a wet bathing suit limits the amount of air flow to the vagina and the moisture can attract bacteria.

Vaginal itching is usually caused by an STD or infection. However, if pregnant the most common reason for vaginal itching is the change in the vaginal PH level and can cause irritations.

How can it be treated?

Before you use any over the counter medications, you should check with you doctor and make sure you do not have any STD’s or infections that need a doctors attention. If the itching is due to the vaginal PH level, which is common during pregnancy, then you can try treatments at home like:

· You can lower the PH level by using Intimore™ Fresh-Sensitive with Aloe-Vera that calms sensitive irritated skin during pregnancy, after child birth, after swimming or any aerobic \ sports activity.

· Apply a cold compress

· Use Intimore’s Soothing application Gel that is used to calm itching and irritated skin. The soothing Gel is enriched with a high concentration of natural soothing plant extracts such as Aloe Barbadensis Leaf extract, Allantoin, Echinacea Angustifolia, Calendula Officinalis Extract, Comfrey Extract, Propolis Extract, Witch Hazel Extract and Matricaria Extract (Chamomile).

Just remember: The use of this Gel is not a replacement for medical treatment.

How you can Prevent Vaginal Itching

· Stay clean and dry

· Wear loose fitting clothing

· Wipe from front to back to prevent any unwanted bacteria from entering the vaginal area

· Refrain from using any scented products such as bubble bath or detergents for they will only irritate the vagina more.

A menstrual cycle is the series of monthly changes that a women’s body goes through to prepare for possible pregnancy. Every month, the uterus grows a new, thickened lining called the endometrium. The lining is meant to hold a fertilized egg during pregnancy. If there is no pregnancy, there is no fertilized egg so the uterus sheds its lining. The shedding of the lining is the monthly menstrual bleeding that women go through.

Women experience different menstrual symptoms throughout their life. Some women suffer from extreme discomfort while others have very minor pain. The symptoms can be affected by age, weight, activity level, food or drink, and birth control or other medications.

Common symptoms that occur include…

• Bloating in the abdomen
• Cramping in the legs, back and lower abdomen
• Breast tenderness
• Headache
• Foul Odor
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Mood Swings
• Irritability
• Fatigue

• Increase calcium consumption to relieve PMS
• Keep active with aerobics or cardio to improve blood flow and reduce pain

• Apply a heating pad to your abdomen or soak in a warm bath to alleviate cramping
