Vaginal health is an important part of a woman’s overall health, maintaining a healthy vagina is a
the necessity for your:

• Mental health well-being

What do you mean by a ‘healthy vagina’? 

A female vagina has a tendency of keeping itself clean. Whereas a healthy vagina is a compilation
of cleanliness, a balanced diet, positive sexual contact, immunity and most importantly oral hygiene. 

Tips to keep it healthy down there: 

1. Be sexually responsible, use condoms and be considerate of your partner’s hygiene/ sexual well being. 

2. Wear cotton undies and let your vagina BREATHE. 

3. Avoid scented/perfumed soaps; they do not belong anywhere near your genitals. 

4. Limit your consumption of alcohol and tobacco (or maybe just quit it for our mother earth if not

down there!).

5. Vaginal wash more than once a day when you are on your period can be very helpful. 

6. Choose bikini wax over shaving your pubes (evenly razored hair becomes itchy!). There are

different types of bikini wax available in the market: 

• In a classic bikini wax, you get bikini hair removed that is visible around the bikini/ panty line.

• A full Brazillian wax leads to complete removal of hair from the front as well as the back

(Yes! Buttocks laid bare).

• If you want the removal of most of the pubic hair in the front, you can opt for french bikini wax

that leaves a strong rectangular strip inclusive of the intimate middle area. 

What is the difference between a Brazilian wax and a classic bikini wax?

Bikini wax traditionally removes hair visible around the bikini area whereas Brazillian wax leads
to the hair in the genital region.

1. Avoid overusing antibiotics because it kills both good and bad bacteria shielding your vagina. 

2. Consult your gynecologist\physician on a suggestive and regular basis for your own hygienical

as well as mental satisfaction. Also, always know your medicine!

3. Eat food that makes your vagina happy and healthy like sweet potatoes, yoghurt,

cranberry juice, garlic, soy, avocados, apples, flaxseeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds,

guava, kiwi, oranges, green peppers and dark chocolate. 

4. Do kegel exercises, here you only have to pretend to urinate and then hold it down.

You have to relax and tighten the muscles that have the tendency to control urine flow.

Tighten the muscle, it’s very important. Kegel exercises help toning your pelvic floor muscles

to prevent, leaking of urine, prolapse or weakness of the pelvic floor.
