Proper care of intimate health and hygiene is essential for overall well-being. There are some habits and practices that can harm this sensitive area, so it is important to be aware of them and avoid mistakes that can cause long-term consequences.

Sitting on a bike without comfortable support

Lack of proper support on the bike can irritate the nerves of the genital area and slow blood circulation, causing discomfort and distress.

Staying in your gym clothes after a workout

Although it may be comfortable, wearing gym clothes after exercising can pose a risk of infection, as germs that are created during physical activity can penetrate intimate areas.

Using food products during intercourse

If you experiment with foods like ice cream or melted chocolate during sex, you should be careful not to let them come into contact with intimate areas, as sugar can disrupt the pH level and cause infections.

Using more soap than necessary

Excessive use of soap can cause irritation and burning in intimate areas. Similarly, excessive use of mineral salts has the same negative effect.

Experimenting with fruits and vegetables in bed

Although nutritionists advise consuming organic foods, using fruits and vegetables for sexual pleasure is a misinterpretation of the advice. This can cause infections and bacterial reactions, so it is better to keep them for food consumption and away from intimate areas.

Getting tattoos in intimate areas

Tattoos in intimate areas are harmful, as this skin is much more sensitive and can cause itching and irritation. Even temporary tattoos can have negative effects and are not recommended.

Using baby oil as a lubricant

If you use baby oil as a lubricant, you should know that these products can remain unclean after use and accumulate bacteria and chemicals in intimate areas.
