For women it's also about taking care of the hygiene of their most intimate area - the vagina. Ironically this is the one area that's often neglected the most. Everyone feels they are doing just fine when it comes to intimate hygiene. It's this sense of misplaced confidence that makes them think that all the talk about intimate hygiene is not for them. Not only do they believe they are safe from irritation itching pain odour white discharge and infection they also take a lot of myths about vaginal hygiene for facts. But this ignorance can lead to a lot of health problems.
