Spotted Mid-Flight: A Young Woman Opens Up About an Important Topic—Genital Hygiene
It might have surprised a few passengers, but this young woman’s mid-air chat about genital hygiene sparked a conversation worth having. And now, we’re continuing it—because caring for such a sensitive area matters.
The skin around the genitals is delicate and easily irritated, so proper care is essential. Here’s how you can protect and maintain healthy skin down there:
Keep it simple. Washing with plain water is often enough, but for extra care, consider using an emollient like aqueous cream, Diprobase, or DoubleBase. These gentle products are easy to find at most pharmacies, supermarkets, or online—and they won’t break the bank.
Use as a barrier. Before stepping into the bath or shower, apply the emollient like a cream to your genital area. It forms a protective layer, reducing contact with harsh soaps and shampoos. Just remember to rinse well afterward.
Daily comfort. Emollients are safe to use every day. If dryness is a concern, a small amount before bed can provide overnight relief and hydration.
Let’s normalize these conversations and help everyone feel more confident in their personal care routines. Share this with someone who might benefit—because health is worth talking about.
