How to make a homemade and 100% natural intimate oil
Despite the increasing normalization of discussions about intimate hygiene, the truth is that there are still often forced silences when talking about our vagina and all the care it entails. This attitude is even reflected in the purchases we make for our personal care. We often buy creams, serums, cleansers, eye creams... However, we rarely include products for intimate hygiene and care in our shopping cart. Just as we prioritize personal, facial, oral, or hair hygiene, it is necessary to focus some of our attention on the vaginal area to prevent diseases caused by infections and help it recover its vaginal discharge. Our intimate area is the most sensitive part of our body, so any external agent can alter the vaginal flora, as it is quite sensitive to changes in its pH.
Tips for intimate hygiene
If you want to prevent your intimate area from becoming irritated and want to maintain the balance of the microbial flora, at Maminat we advise you to follow these tips:
Clean the area carefully. After showering, dry your skin gently without rubbing. Do not leave the area damp after bathing, as infections can occur.
Do not stay in a wet swimsuit for too long. Sweaty or wet clothing promotes skin maceration and excessive microbial growth.
Wear cotton underwear. Synthetic fabrics are more prone to causing contact dermatitis, and continuous rubbing promotes irritation. Additionally, you should also avoid wearing overly tight clothing, as an increase in temperature usually increases the likelihood of infections.
Do not use harsh detergents. The chemicals present in household laundry products can contain chemicals that can dry out our intimate area and alter the composition of the microbial flora.
Sleep without underwear! Sleeping without underwear promotes air circulation and perspiration in the vulvar area.
If you dare, take the opportunity to go without underwear. You will connect much more with the earth, with your vagina... Although we know that this is a bit more daring if you've never done it before. You can try it one day and feel and live the experience.
Use an oil for the intimate area. Using intimate oil will help keep your vagina nourished and hydrated.

Making an intimate oil is very simple and can be done easily at home, it takes very little time and most of the ingredients can be easily obtained.
