During your period, personal hygiene is one of the most important things to be careful about. The sensitive area can easily show signs of irritation, due to moisture and friction, during movement. Thus, personal hygiene rules should be meticulously respected, and you should change your towels regularly. This will help not only to maintain the health of the sensitive area, but will also make you feel very comfortable and fresh.

What can you do to have peace of mind?

• Wash daily with liquid intim wash, specially designed for the sensitive area, and plenty of water.
• Prefer a shower to a bath.
• Prefer personal hygiene products with skin-friendly design. According to research held in our country, 25% of women suffer from irritation in the sensitive area during their period, occurred by certain napkins’ cover material. EveryDay Sensitive napkins’ design, offers complete hygienic protection without irritation, thanks to its skin friendly hygienic extra soft top sheet.
• The swim is not prohibitive, but it is better to follow some rules, such as: be sure that the beach is clean, do not come in contact with sand, do not stay with a wet swimsuit on etc.
• Always wipe yourself in the right way (from front to back) in order to avoid transferring germs at your vagina.
• Be particularly careful when you use public toilets.
• Do not ever borrow underwear, bathing suits and towels.
• Avoid tight pants.
• Prefer cotton underwear. Synthetic materials “warm ” the area making it sweaty and vulnerable to infections.
• It is very important that underwear is rinsed thoroughly because sometimes detergents and softeners can cause irritation.
• Especially for daily use, the pantyliners with a 100% cotton cover, such as EveryDay All Cotton and EveryDay Cotton Fresh, are ideal, since your skin comes in contact with a 100% natural material and, therefore, it is totally safe.
