Feminine Hygiene Tips for Summer

The weather is getting hotter and hotter and it’s understandable if the heat makes you feel uncomfortable or even self-conscious.

The correct feminine hygiene tips that you should implement into your daily routine are often quite taboo and not shared.

We are here to change that!

Here are some of our best tips to help you be your best self this summer.

DRINK WATER

I’m sure you’ve heard this hundreds of times, but there’s a reason for that! Water has an incredible effect on our bodies. Drinking 2 liters a day can help to keep your body hydrated, skin clean, stop bloating and even help you lose weight! Best of all, it is free! It is especially important if you are spending a lot of time in the sun. 

COTTON

Though you may love your lacy or silk underwear, cotton underwear is a MUST in the heat! Unlike synthetic materials, cotton is breathable and will stop any bacteria or moisture build up and will prevent rashes or infections. You can get some super cute cotton underwear too! You don’t have to wear Bridget Jones’ underwear!

Floaty dresses are the perfect pair to your cotton underwear! They will keep things much more breathable than jean shorts.

These are our favourite lightweight, super affordable dresses:

WIPES AND BLOTTING PAPER

Always keep some wipes and blotting paper in your purse. Take some regular, fragrance-free baby wipes with you, or feminine wipes specifically to keep you fresh down there. 

Blotting paper is also super useful for oily skin or for sweat and can help to keep your makeup intact at the same time!

LET IT GROW

Ultimately, it is up to you whether you shave your pubic hair or not, but it is there for a reason. It prevents yeast infections and UTIs by stopping bacteria. If you can, limit yourself to shaving bikini line and leave the rest. 

Wherever you decide to shave, make sure to always use a new, clean razor and a gentle shaving foam/balm that is meant for the pubic area. This will make the job much easier and lessen the chance of irritation. 

Alternatively, you can use our Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face and Body Hair Removal System that provides up to 94% hair reduction in just 3 treatments and is safe and easy to use! 

Most importantly, make sure to have fun and love yourself every day!
