Cleaning the vulva with water alone? It's not enough
No, plain water alone is not enough to properly clean the vulva.
It removes sweat. It rinses. But it doesn't protect. Nor does it eliminate all harmful bacteria.
The result: the area remains vulnerable. And in the long run, this can disrupt intimate balance.
The vagina? It cleans itself.
Internally, the vagina is a well-organized organ. It already contains good bacteria, such as lactobacilli, which act as a natural barrier.
They are what keep the vagina healthy, stable and balanced.
Douching? Bad idea. This action disrupts everything. It sometimes destroys good bacteria. It promotes infections.
So, we don't wash the vagina. We let it do its job. All by itself.
The vulva, however, needs care.
On the other hand, the vulva – the external part – is exposed. Every day. To friction. To underwear. To moisture. To external bacteria.
It acts like a shield. And like any shield, it needs maintenance.
For this, water isn't enough. You need a gentle cleanser, designed for this area. A suitable treatment. One that respects the skin. One that moisturizes. One that protects.
Because a dry, irritated or unbalanced vulva can lead to itching, discomfort or infections.
Products designed to meet these needs
This is where Jolaine™ comes in.
The brand offers intimate cleansing foams. Formulated to protect, hydrate, and rebalance, they meet the real needs of women on a daily basis.
What do these mousses contain?
Three main ingredients:
- Prebiotics: they nourish the good bacteria present on the skin.
- Hyaluronic acid: it deeply hydrates, without irritating.
- Plant extracts: to soothe and refresh naturally.
These foams are non-irritating. They are hypoallergenic. Their pH is balanced. And above all, their fragrance is light and pleasant, without being overpowering.

Why is water not enough?
Water rinses away. But it doesn't neutralize the agents responsible for bad odors or irritations. Nor does it strengthen the skin barrier.
Washing with just water is a bit like brushing your teeth without toothpaste: you're making a gesture... but you're not really doing anything.
Gentle intimate care products complement the action of water. They help maintain:
- Hydration of the vulvar skin.
- The balance of local flora.
- A feeling of comfort and freshness.
Simple actions, lasting effects
Adopting a gentle routine is easy.
A small amount of foam in the hand.
Apply to the vulva (not inside).
Rinse well.
Pat gently to dry, without rubbing.
Cleanse in the morning, then in the evening if necessary. No more. The goal is to clean without being harsh.
And during your period? Or after exercise? Intimate care becomes a valuable ally to avoid discomfort.
Other good reflexes to adopt
- Choose cotton underwear.
- Avoid tight synthetic fabrics.
- Change your underwear regularly, especially in summer.
- Limit the use of scented wipes or unsuitable intimate sprays.
- And above all, listen to your body.
