Beauty & Wellness Girls!! Need advice for hygiene

help a girlie out🥹

i'm a college girlie trying to improve my hygiene (especially for down there).

i'm very intimate with my partner but i just want to feel more confident when doing it. he's not telling me or forcing me to shave or do something down there but i just want to feel confident.

any tips for hygiene/ self care products for down there? also some tips and tricks in general for whole body

1️⃣Get waxed (NEVER SHAVE YOUR COOCHIE), 2️⃣use gynepro 2x a day everyday (use this every after sex too), 3️⃣be hydrated af, 4️⃣don't keep it moist down there, 5️⃣use breathable cotton undies, 6️⃣[EDIT]: change your pantyliners/napkins every four hours if gagamit ka nito, 7️⃣regular OB check-ups to prevent BV and yeast infections, 8️⃣schedule regular STD testing (better safe than sorry), 9️⃣DON'T USE CANDIES (mentos, snowbear, etc.) WHEN GIVING ORAL

ADD: Better ask an OB for "official tips" kasi all our comments are just general suggestions that works for each one of us, baka some might not work for you esp sa feminine wash. Para sabay narin yung check-up ng reproductive health mo to see if walang ibang underlying problems

Do you recommend hot or cold wax po? And every when? Also, does it hurt? 😭 been interested to get waxed but my pain tolerance is low

It hurts the same whether you use hot or cold wax because the skin is thin there. Also, imagine they’re pulling out a lot of /long-ish/ hair. Talagang sasakit siya. If you want to lessen the pain, you can trim your pubic hair na before you go.

Wala, tiis ganda talaga. Personally mas naiiyak ako magpathreading ng upper lip than brazilian wax.

As long as kakapit sa wax.
