The vulva is delicate. Its skin is thin. Its balance is fragile.
Regular soap, on the other hand, is made for the skin on the body. Not for this area. It's often too alkaline. And that's where the problems begin.
For a healthy vulva, it needs to maintain an acidic pH, around 3.8 to 4.5. This level protects against germs and supports the vaginal flora. A soap with a high pH disrupts this natural barrier.
When the pH rises, good bacteria retreat. Bad bacteria take hold. And with them: infections, irritations, discomfort.
What regular soaps do
Their formula is powerful. They often contain harsh detergents and synthetic fragrances. They're fine for body skin, but not for intimate areas.
The mucous membrane absorbs. Quickly. It has no protective layer. What is put on it enters the body. Too strong, too perfumed, too often: it reacts.
We scratch. We get hot. We redden. We feel unwell.
What gentle intimate cleansers do
A good intimate cleanser does the opposite. It respects the skin. It maintains the pH balance. It protects the flora.
It cleanses gently. It soothes. It leaves the skin clean, but also balanced and comfortable.
A pH level that is respected
Gentle cleansers mimic the vulva's natural acidic pH. They don't irritate. They support the good bacteria.
A hypoallergenic formula
Few ingredients. No major allergens. No irritating fragrance. All tested, verified, and designed for sensitive skin.
Plant extracts
Aloe vera, chamomile, calendula. Gentle plants, chosen for their soothing and restorative properties.
No synthetic fragrances
Just the essentials. Sometimes a touch of light, natural essence. Or nothing at all.
The result: a stable flora, healthy skin, and daily comfort.

Some simple tips for taking care of your vulva
The right product isn't enough. You also need the right techniques. Here are the most important ones.
1. One wash per day
No more. Too much is too much. Gentle cleansing with lukewarm water, once a day, is perfect.
2. Avoid vaginal douching
The inside of the vagina cleans itself. There's no need to put water in it. And certainly no soap.
3. Wear cotton
Cotton breathes. It allows air to circulate. It keeps the skin dry. Less irritation. Less discomfort.
4. Change your sanitary protection regularly
During your period, change your pad or tampon every 4 to 6 hours. Even if they are natural.
Absolutely avoid
- Classic shower gels
- Scented soaps
- Synthetic fabric panties
- Intimate deodorants
- Industrial wipes
Your questions, our answers
Do I need to wash the inside of my vagina?
No. Never. The vagina cleans itself. You only wash the outside, that is, the vulva.
Can I use a mild body soap?
It's not ideal. Even though it's mild, it doesn't have the right pH. It can still disrupt the intimate balance.
And during pregnancy?
Yes. Gentle intimate cleansers are often recommended during this time, especially in cases of dryness or discomfort.
After a vaginal infection?
A good, gentle cleanser helps to rebuild the flora. It reduces the risk of recurrence.
At what age should I start?
From puberty onwards. When hormones change, the gut flora becomes more vulnerable. It's best to protect it early.
Key takeaways
The vulva is not like the rest of the body. It has its own pH. Its own flora. Its own needs.
Regular soaps upset it. Gentle cleansers, on the other hand, respect it.
Jolaine, with its simple and natural care products, offers a healthy, gentle and effective solution.
Take care of yourself. With safe products. With simple steps. And with confidence.
