Common Feminine Care Remedies

I have heard you can use Crisco or Vaseline to prevent chafing?

When should you consult your doctor?

I’m experiencing vaginal redness and itching combined with a milky, whitish gray discharge and a fishy odor. What could this be?

My vaginal skin is very itchy, red and sore, and the whole area seems to be swollen. I also have a discharge that’s grayish yellowy green, and it has a strong and unpleasant odor. Is this an infection?

I notice that I have an odorless cottage cheese-like discharge, along with itching, redness and irritation. The itching is sometimes very bad, and I have an intense burning sensation. What should I do?

I don’t have a discharge, but I am experiencing persistent itching, chafing and irritation. Should I see a doctor?

After waxing or shaving, I get itchy, red bumps. Can I prevent these? How can I soothe the irritation?

The delicate skin in the bikini and underarm area is highly susceptible to razor burn and redness. After shaving or waxing, Soothing Care™ Chafing Relieve Powder-Gel™ Skin Protectant can help protect and relieve uncomfortable irritation and reduce the appearance of redness

Ingrown hairs can also cause itchy bumps. While it’s hard to prevent ingrown hairs, you can try using a washcloth to gently exfoliate the area in between shaving or waxing. To soothe itching during re-growth, try Soothing Care™ Itch Relieve Spray or Soothing Care™ Itch Relieve Cream

I sweat a lot at the gym and worry about odor and wetness. What should I do?

Women who exercise should wear breathable fabrics and remove sweat soaked clothes immediately after exercise to prevent irritation from chafing, yeast and bacteria.
Since the vaginal area has more sweat glands than under arms, keeping the area dry is important. To control odor-causing moisture, try Soothing Care™ Medicated Powder. And, help prevent chafing with Soothing Care™ Chafing Relief Powder-Gel™ Skin Protectant

Do Soothing Care™ products contain talc?

Soothing Care™ Medicated Powder is talc-free. The micro-fine cornstarch and zinc oxide formula controls odor-causing moisture while soothing irritation and preventing chafing. Because it’s talc-free and micro-fine, this powder provides a silky smooth barrier on your body that won’t clump.

I have heard you can use Crisco or Vaseline to prevent chafing?

Out of sheer desperation and despite the fact that these products smell bad, stain your clothes and provide little to no relief, women have been known to slather Crisco and Vaseline between their legs or on their bodies to prevent painful chafing.

Soothing Care™ products deliver sensitive care to the most intimate parts of a woman’s body. They combine the benefits of advanced skincare with the expertise of doctors and women to help meet YOUR intimate care needs quickly and effectively.
The formulas are fragrance free, non-staining, non-greasy and easily absorbed to leave you feeling fresh, clean and comfortable.

I’m experiencing vaginal redness and itching combined with a milky, whitish gray discharge and a fishy odor. What could this be?

You may have Bacterial Vaginosis, a common condition that most likely will require a prescription antibiotic.

You could have Trichomoniasis, a condition that will probably require a prescription antibiotic. It’s important to note that both you and your sexual partner should be treated to avoid re-infection.

This could be a yeast infection. If it’s the first time you’ve experienced these symptoms, it’s best to see a doctor for confirmation.

I don’t have a discharge, but I am experiencing persistent itching, chafing and irritation. Should I see a doctor?

This could be Non-Infectious Vaginitis, which may not require a trip to the doctor but can be extremely uncomfortable. This irritated condition can be caused by wearing tight clothing (jeans are often a culprit), monthly hormonal changes, excess perspiration, athletic activity, even sex.
