Why Feminine Washes Cause More Problems Than They Fix
If you’ve ever felt like your feminine wash “works” for a few days — only for the odor, itching, or discharge to come back even worse — you’re not crazy. It’s not your body acting up. It’s the product.
Most popular feminine washes are full of fragrance, alcohols, and sulfates — the same ingredients found in body wash and shampoo. They strip away the natural oils and good bacteria your vulva needs to stay balanced and self-cleaning.
That “fresh” feeling you get right after using them? That’s actually dryness and irritation starting. Once your good bacteria are thrown off, your body struggles to maintain a healthy pH — leading to more odor, yeast infections, and BV flare-ups.
What’s Really Happening to Your pH
Your vaginal pH is supposed to be slightly acidic to keep harmful bacteria away. When you use harsh washes, the pH rises, giving bad bacteria and yeast a perfect place to grow.
That’s why the more you use those washes, the more you need them — it’s a cycle that keeps you stuck.
The Better Alternative: Gentle, Natural Care
Instead of using chemicals to “mask” odor, you want to support your body’s natural balance. That’s where Clove Soap from Naked Lavender comes in.
Formulated with natural clove, coconut oil, and shea butter, it helps:
-
Fight yeast and bacteria naturally (thanks to clove’s antifungal properties)
-
Soothe irritation and dryness instead of stripping moisture
-
Keep your pH balanced so your body can do its job
Your vulva doesn’t need perfume — it needs balance. And when you care for it naturally, you’ll notice less odor, fewer flare-ups, and more confidence.
How to Use It
Use Clove Soap daily during your shower — just on the outside of your vulva (never inside). Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Consistent, gentle care is what keeps you fresh all day without throwing off your pH.
Final Thoughts
You don’t have to settle for irritation and discomfort. Ditch the chemical washes and trust nature instead.
Your body already knows how to take care of itself — it just needs the right support.
