Yesterday morning I read these suggestions for the care of our vulva. I thought it was a simple and at the same time clear post to share with everyone. Alejandra Alternativo ](/img/la-vulva-esa-desconocida.webp) Destapa, cuida y mira. Tips from Jimena Jiménez Madrazo (physician) for the care of the vulva.
1. Uncover it. Let the air and the sun shine on it. Being covered, the vulva is in a continuous state of moisture - flow, traces of urine, sweat ... - Sleep without panties. - Wear thongs as little as possible (thongs are aggressive because of the strong friction of the string on the area). - Wear cotton panties, which favor breathing. - Combine the use of tight pants with other garments that allow air to pass.
2. Take care of it - Use mild soaps without detergents or perfumes. If you wash more than once a day, only with water. - After washing, dry well and, just as you put creams on your face, use a vulvar moisturizer or, better, an oil, since the oil produces an insulating layer of moisture. A simple, inexpensive almond oil will fulfill this function. - When you go to the bathroom, do not forget to always wipe from front to back, so as not to pass germs from the anus to the vagina.
3. Look at her - Take a mirror. You can see the face, but not the vulva. Just as the mirror gives you direct information about any changes that occur in the face, by never looking at the vulva with a mirror, women ignore many alterations that could easily be solved at the beginning - for example, pimples, cracks, or condylomas... - Know yourself. The mirror is not only useful for detecting abnormalities. It also serves to get to know yourself and "make friends".
