pH Level...umm..Eww!?

Question

I am VERY VERY on top of my hygiene. However I just found out i am recently pregant with my first baby and my pH levels are really high to me. I have to shower about 5 time a day (exaggerating) because I never allow myself to smell. How do i fix this issue? Im so embarressed to even have sex with my husband because even after a shower i feel like it will still smell during sex. 😩🔫 im 6 wks pregnant and i was totally not prepared for this being part of pregnancy

Answer

Don't use summers eve or wash yourself multiple times a day. These things can throw off your natural bacteria (what prevent infection) and you'll wind up with an infection and screwed up ph balances. 
I wash myself once daily in the shower with water. I have a shower nozzle that detaches so I spray her off , lol. You don't need to use soap, your vagina is self cleaning. If you don't feel clean without it, doctors reccomend regular dove soap. Stay away from heavily perfumed things. Since I've stopped washing multiple times per day and with scented soap, I've noticed way less irritation!

Answer

Be careful washing too often and putting all kinds of scented things in that area.  You're going to throw your balances off and wind up with a yeast infection or BV. I agree it's probably that your sense of smell has just gotten better.

Answer

How are you checking your vaginal ph level? Also, taking that many showers a day is harmful as well and can dry out your vagina and kill off tge good bacteria.

Answer

Pregnancy can be affecting your sense of smell big time. I swear sometimes I can smell dead animals in people's houses but no one else can. Your pH level is being thrown off from washing so much, don't use anything down there but warm water to clean. Soap and body wash etc can get rid of the natural bacteria your ladypart needs to maintain its pH and cleanliness. Your body does alot of the cleaning down there! Just wash with warm water in that area.

Answer

Washing and using soaps more frequently will actually throw your ph balance more out of whack. Just try eating less acidic food and only clean the outside not up in your vagina.

Answer

Summer's Eve wash and wipes! Your senses are hightened so you probably aren't as bad as you think, but these products really help and they are specifically formulated for downstairs, PH and all :)

Answer

I agree with Morgan...you probably don't smell but your sense of smell is more sensitive and you are ale to smell things normally you wouldn't notice. Like yourself!

Answer

They have wipes. They're called Summers Eve wipes. They smell amazing. And you can use then every time you use the bathroom. After you wipe with toilet paper just go back over you vagina with one of the wipes and it'll smell fine :)
