MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Filipinas
experience extreme humidity whether indoors at home or outdoors especially
during the rainy season. Humidity results in changes that bother most ladies– frizzier
hair, acne-prone skin, and generally an ickier, stickier feeling throughout the
day. What most women don’t share– humidity also contributes to the unpleasant
feeling within their intimate areas.
Here are some tips from Carefree
ambassador Rei Germar that can help beat the kulob and icky feels throughout
the day this rainy season:
1. Always have rainy-day essentials ready
This includes having foldable umbrellas, raincoats, and even small towels to keep yourself dry from the rain.
2. Use
Carefree pantyliners to keep your intimate areas clean and fresh all day
Make
sure to use some Carefree pantyliners throughout the day! Keep a couple of pieces
in your essentials pouch so you can keep changing throughout the day in between
activities.
There are different variants for different needs like Carefree Breathable for the clean, airy panty feeling all day, Carefree Super Dry to protect your panty from heavy daily discharge, and Carefree Healthy Fresh for superior odor-control. My personal favorite here is Carefree Breathable.
3. Touch
up your look with makeup and some perfume
A quick touch up on your look is such a mood booster! Knowing that I look my best throughout the day also helps combat the icky feeling I get, especially when the weather is gloomy.
Dr. May Gonzaga, gynecologist,
also shares a few tips that can help Filipinas keep their intimate area clean
and fresh during this time of the year. Dr. Gonzaga notes “Humid season are the
times we should pay more attention to our personal hygiene and intimate areas
because it makes women more prone to infections. As anything that increases the
retention of heat, sweat, and wetness can lead to intimate discomforts and more
importantly it can make the abnormal bacteria flourish and thrive which can
lead to vulvar, vaginal, and urinary tract infections, peculiar foul smelling,
and abnormal unwanted discharges from the intimate area. To keep us ladies clean and fresh this humid
season we should have good healthy habits, proper intimate hygiene and to use
natural, thin, light, unscented, comfortable, cotton, hypoallergenic
undergarments and pantyliners to keep us dry the whole day, and to minimize the
building up of bacteria and infections.”
To avoid and minimize the
building-up of the bad bacteria in the intimate area and thereby prevent
possible infections & the discomfort that goes with it, Dr. Gonzaga also recommends
that ladies should have a healthy lifestyle in general in terms of diet,
exercises with emphasis to:
1.
Practicing
a habit of good feminine "hygiene"
Wash
and wipe always from front to back! Use water and mild soaps only,
and washing the intimate area once to two times a day is adequate. Once
you over-wash, you will wash away the good, healthy bacteria. And when this
happens the 'bad' bacteria may colonize and give symptoms of unpleasant odors,
discharge, and infections.
2.
Wear
breathable clothes
Using cotton, comfortable underwear instead
of those synthetic fiber panties which can lead to irritation, itchiness,
inflammation, and even infections. Avoid wearing tight clothes like tight
undergarments, tight skinny jeans or tight pants, tight leggings which does not
allow air to pass in your intimate area. Because our intimate area also
needs to breathe. By allowing fresh air to pass through the area, it minimizes
perspiration and gives one more comfort and is less prone to irritation and
infections.
3.
By
using a natural, thin, light, unscented, comfortable, cotton, hypoallergenic
pantyliners to keep the vulvar area clean and dry the whole day.
Changing every 3 to 5 hours a day depending on the day of cycle is
recommended. This is to prevent vaginal irritations, itching, inflammation,
infections and unpleasant odors and discharges from occurring.
Alex Burgos, brand
manager, shares “As the leading pantyliner brand, Carefree believes that
Filipinas should not be bothered and not be accustomed to the icky sensation
within the vaginal area. We advocate for women to not only just be clean, but
be Carefree clean.”
