Feminine Cleansers
My absolute favorite feminine wash. The peppermint oil in this is no joke but leaves you feeling super fresh. I would recommend this to anyone.
Her Fantasy Box
If you are into foam washes for the V, this one is excellent. It is mild in fragrance but definitely gets the job done. I use this more around that time of the month because it is more gentle. And it also has probiotics in it, which is a major plus.
vH essentials Foaming Feminine Wash
Not necessarily a cleanser on its own, but adding this to your hot bath every night can keep that pH balanced. You will notice a difference.
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar - 32 Fl Oz
Lots of controversy with this product but I like to use this frequently throughout the year after my cycle. I like this one only. I don’t do any scented douche and wouldn’t recommend.
Summer's Eve Douche, Extra Cleansing
Scrubs
When I say this is the BEST scrub that I have ever tried in my life for my intimate areas. The smell is impeccable and I have not had an ingrown since I began using it. No lie.
Pretty Kitty Scrub: Intimate Exfoliating and complexion evening Scrub
Oils+Moisturizers
Perfect as an aftershave oil. I use this everyday because of all of it's natural cleansing properties. It helps to fight against bad bacteria. Keep this in your bathroom.
Coconut Oil
Not sure why more people are not talking about this but yes, I mix the coconut oil with this stuff and omg…the smell is AMAZING. This butter is smooth and moisturizes the skin beautifully.
Vanilla Cashmere Non-Foaming Shave Cream
Special Care Treatments
When you feel your V is feeling a little weighed down either after or before your cycle, these are great to use. After sex, these are great to use. Also if you just want to detox, these are great to use. A total reset.
The Honey Pot Company, Boric Acid And Herbal Suppositories + ...
Pads+Tampons
These cotton pads have won me over the last few months. I love them, they do not irritate my skin like most regular pads do now. The friction of the skin on those regular pads can cause issues down the line. Consider switching to 100% cotton.
Always Pure Cotton Pads - Target
Took a little while for me to get use to the application of these, but once I got the hang of it, things were smooth sailing. I love these at the very beginning of my cycle and at the end.
Cora / Tampons / Feminine Care: Health & Household
If you have a heavy flow, these are the cotton pads for you.
Rael Organic Cotton Cover Regular Menstrual Fragrance Free Pads
Menstrual Cups
I have been using a menstrual cup since December 2020 and I would never go back. This is thee most sanitary method for the cycle. I recommend this one for beginners because of the size and functionality. Do your own research.
Flex Menstrual Cup
Menstrual Cup Accessories
I was gifted this steamer in exchange for content. The brand was so sweet and sent this to me. At the time, I was also using the Pixie Cup. This steamer changed the game for me. I am getting a new one soon but cleaning the cup is super simple because...
Pixie Menstrual Cup Sterilizer Steamer
Besides the cup steamer, I also use this amazing wash for the cup. It truly neutralizes the scent and freshens it up. This wash also lasts quite a while.
