We talk about hair care, skin care, and makeup almost daily. They’re a part of our daily routines as women and a way that we care for and even pamper ourselves. One topic that I TOTALLY think gets overlooked? Feminine Hygiene. Maybe everyone is doing it but no one is talking about it, but I seriously doubt that’s the case. In today’s post, I’m getting REAL about caring for ourselves -you know ‘OURSELVES’- with Summer’s Eve!

 

After having Kate, I quickly realized how neglectful I had been when it comes to really taking care of my ‘girl’ (I will hereby refer to my vaginal area as my ‘girl’! lol!). I wasn’t dirty or anything, but I had no idea how much went into making sure that things didn’t go all awry down there. All my mommas out there know how pregnancy and birth can really mess with your girl. Things happen that you didn’t even know were possible and it’s more important than ever to preserve and protect your feminine health. Even if you’re not pregnant, taking care of your girl can help you to prevent yeast infections, UTIs, odors and that pesky itch (we all experience it, ladies, no need to be shy). 

You may have heard the term ‘pH-balance’ but what does it really mean and how does it affect us? Summereve.com puts it like this: 

“The pH number measures on a scale of 0 to 14 based on how acidic or alkaline something is – anything below 7 is acidic, anything above 7 is alkaline (or basic). Pure water has a pH of 7, which is neutral. You might be surprised to learn that skin does not have a neutral pH. In fact, pH can vary based on the part of the body, and even from person to person. Summer’s Eve’s® pH-balanced products are formulated to be in harmony with the areas on which they are used. For topical application to the skin, they are formulated for a slightly acidic pH. For application to the vagina, they are formulated for mildly acidic pH.”

And what happens when your pH balance is off? Bacteria grows. And that bad bacteria kills your good bacteria and causes all of those pesky infections we talked about earlier. I don’t know about you but ONE vaginal infection is ONE TOO MANY! The great news is that Summer’s Eve’s new FreshCycle line has some fantastic products that can help you keep your girl clean, balanced, and healthy!

I’ve been trying out these three products and loving them. Plus they’re specifically designed for that very special week that comes around every month and throws our entire lives out of balance (dramatic much) – let’s just not let our girl get off balance! 

FreshCycle No-Rinse Cleansing Foam

This fantastic foam can be applied directly to your girl with toilet paper for some easy freshening while you’re on your period or whenever you need it. No need to get in the shower to feel fresh! It’s made with a patented odor-reducing ingredient as well (even though you’re probably the only one who smells it, sis)

FreshCycle Cleansing Cloths Soft Pack

Wipes aren’t just for babies, y’all! There is nothing quite as great as feeling CLEAN after a potty break and when you’re on your period, things are even more intense down there. These wipes are made with that same odor reducing technology and without any alcohol, parabens, or dyes. Keep this pack on the back of the toilet for easy access. They’re FLUSHABLE as well – happy sewage system! 

FreshCycle Individually Wrapped Cleansing Cloths

A lady on the go? Aren’t we all. These individual packaged flushable wipes are perfect for the gym bag, your purse, or your school backpack. The same fabulous wipes but in easy to transport packages. Plus, there is no better feeling than helping out a lady friend in need. These are easy to pass under the bathroom still when your girlfriend needs a little boost as well! 

 

All of the FreshCycle products are formulated for the most intimate parts, balanced to a woman’s natural pH and gynecologist tested for everyday use.

I’m looking forward to teaching my daughter all of the wonderful things about being a women. But, I’ll also have to teach her about some of the less wonderful things like periods. I’m so glad to have found Summer’s Eve to boost my own feminine health and to help me teach Kate about her feminine health in years to come! Let’s try not to skimp on the health of our girls anymore, ladies.
