The Honey Pot foaming wash is a plant-derived product formulated for gentle, external intimate hygiene. This gynecologist-approved cleanser offers a simple and refreshing approach to feminine cleansing. It is designed to be incorporated into a daily shower routine for maintaining freshness and comfort. The wash functions as an external cleanser that supports the body’s natural state without harsh chemicals.
Product Focus: Why Use a pH-Balanced Wash
The vulvovaginal area naturally maintains an acidic environment, which defends against the overgrowth of certain microbes. This healthy acidic range is typically between 3.5 and 4.5. Commercial soaps often have a much higher, alkaline pH that can disrupt this delicate balance. Using a cleanser that matches this acidity helps support the body’s existing protective microflora. The Honey Pot wash is formulated to fall within the 3.5 to 4.5 pH range to prevent disruption to this natural environment.
The formulation includes ingredients like lactic acid and organic apple cider vinegar. Lactic acid supports the optimal pH level while offering gentle moisturizing properties for the external skin. Plant-derived extracts, such as calendula and lavender water, soothe the skin and minimize discomfort. This product cleanses the external area without compromising the body’s natural state.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
Begin by gently shaking the bottle to ensure the ingredients are well mixed before use. Once in the shower or bath, use clean hands to wet the external area you intend to cleanse. The recommended starting amount is approximately three pumps into the palm of your hand.
Gently apply the resulting foam to the vulva. Use a light, soft motion to work the cleanser around the outer folds and skin. It is recommended to clean from front to back to avoid transferring bacteria from the anal region.
Allow the foaming wash to remain on the skin for a short period, typically between three and five minutes, before rinsing. This allows the ingredients a moment to soothe and cleanse the skin. Finish the process by rinsing the area thoroughly with warm water until all traces of the foam are removed.
Safe Usage: Placement and Frequency
The Honey Pot foaming wash is intended for external use and should only be applied to the vulva. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ that does not require the use of cleansing products inside the body. Internal cleansing, often referred to as douching, can disrupt the natural microflora and pH balance, potentially leading to irritation or infection.
The wash is gentle and can be used daily as part of a regular hygiene routine. It is useful after activities that cause increased perspiration, such as exercise, to refresh the external skin. The product helps maintain freshness and minimize odor with consistent use.
If you experience any adverse reactions, such as burning or itching, immediately stop using the wash. While formulated to be gentle and gynecologist-approved, individual sensitivities can occur. If symptoms persist after discontinuing use, consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.
