Intimate Care

Intimate care products are made for gentle cleansing, everyday comfort or after-sex freshness. Most intimate cosmetics are for external use unless the packaging says otherwise. Menstrual cups, such as those by Intimate Health and Fun Factory, are worn internally during your period and should be used according to the maker’s instructions.

When choosing, consider the purpose, ingredients and how sensitive your skin is. Formulas with lactic acid, chamomile or a mild fragrance are often preferred for delicate areas. For a menstrual cup, look at size, firmness, shape and how easy it feels to insert and remove.

Wash your hands before use and clean reusable products as directed. Supplements in this category are not medicines and do not replace professional advice if you have discomfort or concerns.
