Can I wash it with salt?

Salt is a common condiment in our daily life and a must-have item in the family. Salt is very important for our daily life. However, in addition to being a condiment, salt also has other uses. Everyone knows that salt has a bactericidal effect. Many people often use salt to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, and the effect is also good. However, some people want to use salt to clean the vulva. I wonder if it is possible?

Is it okay to wash down there with salt?

If there is an odor in the vagina, or symptoms of itching and discomfort, you can use light salt water to clean it, because salt has a bactericidal and antipruritic effect. Just add a small amount of household edible salt to boiling water. Let it cool before washing your genitals.

How women can ensure their vulva doesn't itch

1. Sanitary napkins

This is something most women need to use every month, every time they have their period, to prevent menstrual blood from directly staining their panties and eventually seeping out of their pants or skirts. You need to put a sanitary napkin in the crotch of your underwear. When menstrual blood is discharged from the vulva, it will be directly absorbed by the sanitary napkin, thus solving the embarrassment of leakage.

In this way, the sanitary napkin needs to come into direct contact with the vulva. Therefore, the sanitary napkins you use must be clean and of qualified quality. Please do not use sanitary napkins that are mixed with some unknown substances. And if you find a damaged sanitary napkin before use, you should throw it away immediately. Because you can't guarantee whether the sanitary napkin is contaminated or whether it contains bacteria. If used directly, it is easy for the bacteria in the sanitary napkin to come into contact with the vulva. Soon the bacteria will "take root" on the delicate surface of the vulvar skin, continue to multiply and spread the disease.

In addition, sanitary napkins should be changed every two or three hours, otherwise the sanitary napkin will reach saturation with menstrual blood and will easily overflow. Moreover, menstrual blood contains various impurities. If it comes into contact with the vulva for a long time, it can easily induce bacteria and cause inflammation under sufficient conditions. Therefore, women should be cautious and careful when using sanitary napkins.

2. Shorts

The time that panties are in contact with the vulva is much longer than that of sanitary napkins, because sanitary napkins are only used during the days of menstruation. And panties need to be worn every day. If they are not washed clean and have all kinds of dirt left on them, the dirt will easily adhere to the surface of the vulva. Together with some dirt discharged from the body, all the things will accumulate together and form a huge "dirty thing". If it is left in contact with the surface of the vulva for a long time, bacteria will soon breed, and the bacteria will continue to multiply due to sufficient nutrients, eventually inducing inflammation and causing unbearable itching of the woman's vulva.

Therefore, women should pay attention to hygiene when wearing panties on a daily basis. The shorts you take off must be washed carefully and exposed to the sun to help kill bacteria.

What to do if vulva itching occurs?

1. Change your shorts

Some women are not careful enough when washing their panties, resulting in hanging them out to dry without washing them thoroughly. Even if such shorts are dried, there will inevitably be some dirt left on them, which can easily induce inflammation when worn, leading to vulvar itching. Therefore, if you feel itchy soon after putting on your underwear, you might as well change into a clean pair of underwear. If the itching problem is relieved after doing this, it means that the underwear is dirty.

2. Clean the vulva

It's hot in summer, and the surface of the vulva is covered with hair and wrapped in panties. In this case, a lot of sweat accumulates on the vulva, and with the increase in body temperature, bacteria can easily breed. At this time, in order to prevent bacteria from continuing to multiply, women are advised to clean the vulva with light salt water. Doing this will help kill bacteria and wash away dirt on the surface of the vulva, thereby improving the itching problem.
