Intimate Care

It is not enough to look sexy in your lingerie!

You gotta keep things going at 100% efficiency.

Todays' word is for the ladies.



I promise to focus on you men folk more.



There are so many issues health wise and other wise that concern women folk some even seemingly silly.



Where and how do you stash your underwear?



When last did you wash your bra?



Didnt you just find that thong under the bed?



Anyone who has ever had a yeast infection knows how uncomfortable it can be. Most women would have at least an episode in their life time.



In case you do not know what yeast infections are. Here is a quick intro



What are yeast infections?

Got that itchy feeling?

A yeast infection is an overgrowth of yeast in your vagina, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as:

* itching and burning in and around your vagina

* burning sensation when urinating (peeing)

* vaginal pain or discomfort during sex

* vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese (it may also be thinner or absent).

The causative organism is candida, which is usually present but an increased growth is responsible for yeast infections.



How do you prevent this?



These simple clothing and hygiene changes may help reduce the risk of yeast infections:



*Update your wardrobe, underwear and hygiene

* Keep your genital area clean and dry. Be sure to dry the area thoroughly after you have a bath or shower.

* Avoid using vaginal deodorants, harsh cleansers, perfumed soaps, douches, or antiseptics. They can irritate your vagina.

* Avoid clothing that fits tightly at the crotch.

* Wear cotton underwear (or underwear with a cotton crotch) rather than underwear made of synthetic fabrics.

* Wipe from front to back after using the toilet.



Let us talk more about your underwear.

Proper care of underwear will reduce your chances of infection and make them last longer. Who would not want them feeling new for longer.



Wash & Care of Underwear



Proper Underwear /lingerie care is essential for longer lasting bras and panties. Sorry to air out dirty laundry here but someone could learn from this.



Hand washing is preferred over machine washing



Wash bras about every 2-3 wears with an alcohol free detergent for gentle laundering. It's also important to build your bra wardrobe so you'll have a good selection of bras to rotate, giving you more bras to wear and less washing to do. Replace your bras every 6 to 9 months.

You do know you are to wash panties after one wear?



Here are some laundering tips for fabrics





As a guideline, most lingerie (especially if it’s made of lace) should be hand washed in cold water with mild soap or a detergent made for hand washing.



Cotton

The easiest to care for.

Can withstand heat



Cleaning Silk



When it comes to silk, the fabric is fragile, so it’s important to follow these tips:



- Never scrub or wring silk

- Never wear silk in direct sunlight. (It fades easily.)

- Never clean just a spot or section of silk with water — clean the entire garment.

- Never spray perfume on silk



Love Thy Corset

corsets are made with high-quality steel boning, so too much contact with water can cause it to rust.



- Instead of washing your corset every time you wear it, use a damp cloth to clean its lining.

- Try wearing a thin camisole underneath it to prevent any excess perspiration that can dirty it.





Spandex:



Hand or machine wash in cold to warm water, never hot

No chlorine bleach

Color-safe bleach can be used, but be sure to rinse thoroughly



Keep looking good in that Lingerie.

Treat it good too.

Stay sexy and infection free.
