I sometimes get itchy right before my period. Is that normal?

Posted by | | No Comments

Yes it is. More than likely, it will happen because there is more blood flow to the vaginal area just before your period. Daily intimate care with one of the Lactacyd feminine washes can help to resolve any discomfort. However, if the itchiness does not go away once your period is over, you may have an infection that would require a visit to the doctor or gynecologist.

How can I feel clean and fresh during my period?

Using Lactacyd when you shower can help you to feel clean and fresh. Lactacyd products have a balanced pH that respects the natural acidity of the vagina. To help maintain that clean, fresh feeling during outdoor activities, use Lactacyd Wipes, which contain lactic acid to enhance the vagina’s natural protection and allantoin to soothe your skin.
Change sanitary napkins and tampons frequently.

What are lactobacilli?

Posted by | | No Comments

Lactobacilli are a kind of bacteria in the vaginal flora that produce lactic acid. The lactic acid creates an acidic environment that protects the vagina from an overgrowth of the harmful bacteria, which can lead to a variety of infections. The greater the number of lactobacilli, the more stable the natural acidic environment is in the vagina.

What is lactic acid?

Lactic acid is also called “milk” acid. This liquid is naturally produced by the body in the skin of the vulva and inside the vagina to create a naturally acidic environment. This natural acidity favors the perfect balance of vaginal flora. The good and bad bacteria present in the vagina are then kept in balance, keeping the intimate zone safe from all kinds of infections. Lactic acid is produced by lactobacilli (the good bacteria), whose growth is in turn also facilitated by an acidic (low pH) environment.

Lactacyd products contain biologic L-lactic acid, the same kind the body produces naturally, and have an adapted pH that respects the natural acidity of the vagina.

I’ve been using liquid soap and soap bars for years to wash my vagina, and I haven’t had any trouble. Do I really need to use a feminine wash?

Posted by | | No Comments

Soaps in any form (liquid or bars) usually have a high pH that is very far from that of the vagina’s own natural environment. Products like these will only damage the vagina’s natural acidic layer, which serves as its protection from bad bacteria. Lactacyd products have an adapted pH that respects the natural acidity of the vagina. Moreover, they are very mild and soap-free, and so are suitable for daily use.

How should a feminine wash be used? Can I use it on a daily basis?
