At some point in your life, your vagina has been itchy thats just part of having a vagina. But how do you actually soothe an itchy vagina in a safe and healthy way, and figure out the cause to nix it for good?
1. Check your soap.
Your vulva is a sensitive area and some soaps, especially ones that contain delicious-smelling fragrances, can make you itchy down there.
2. Rethink changing pads
If you notice you get especially itchy around your period, stop using your go-to pads and opt for an unscented variety, or even organic versions of pads and tampons.
3. Apply Vaseline
If youve been itchy, it may also burn when you pee, so add a little Aquafor to the area, clean with water after you go, and be gentle with the wiping, petroleum jelly can make a yeast infection worse (if you have one), Aquafor is more breathable for the skin while still creating a barrier down there, Plus, it can be soothing.
4.Take a sit bath with lukewarm water
A hot bath can provide more than a little relaxation when youre dealing with itchiness down there. Feel free to add plain Epsom salt or oatmeal bath such as Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment. Afterward, you can dry the vagina area with a hair dryer on a cool low setting.
5. Apply an ice pack or other cooling therapy.
Applying a cold treatment like an ice pack or over-the-counter cooling pad can provide relief down there, Just be sure to use them with a cloth barrier such as your underwear or a towel rather than applying directly to the skin, as you could further irritate it.
6.Opt for cotton underwear.
Certain fabrics can lead to extra irritation and itching, so sticking with cotton panties may be your best bet.
7. Try an alternative hair-removal method.
If you shave your bikini area and notice that its always followed by itchiness, consider using other methods, such as laser hair removal, electrolysis, or waxing.
I hope this has helped enlighten and educate you, so you know you can take control of the itchiness and calm your nerves. Moreover if symptoms persist, see your Doctor.
