why does it happen

In an in-house questionnaire, we asked if people had a rash while using sanitary products, and more than half of the respondents had experienced a rash.

In addition, other than "rash" while using sanitary products, "stuffiness", "smell" and "itchiness" were about the same.

If the stuffiness is left unattended, it may cause itching and rashes, and the stuffiness may cause odors.
The delicate zone is a place with very poor ventilation even in a woman's body. The structure of the underwear is that the skin is in close contact with each other, and the underwear is in close contact all the time, so it is easy to get stuffy. Furthermore, not only sweat but also secretions come out from the vagina, so it is easy to get stuffy.
During menstruation, the menstrual blood makes it more stuffy than usual, and the napkin makes it even less breathable and causes friction, which makes itching and rashes more likely to occur.
Moisture is likely to cause the outbreak and propagation of bacteria, and may trigger infections. Let's reduce the stuffiness of the delicate zone as much as possible.

Anti-stuffiness! !
Cleanliness first
The skin in the delicate zone is thin and vulnerable to irritation, so sanitary products such as pads and tampons and vaginal sheets should be changed frequently.
When you are busy at work, you may miss the timing to change your napkin, or you may not be able to go to the bathroom as you wish.

In order to prevent stuffiness even a little, it is also good to keep your skin smooth with special powder.

★Just pop it! "Femilte Powder"
A powder-type care product for delicate zones. By applying powder to an unused napkin or panty liner, you can keep the napkin dry and reduce the feeling of sticking to the skin, so it is recommended for those who want to easily prevent stuffiness.

To prevent itching and rashes, avoid wiping strongly with toilet paper.
If you are concerned about the irritation of toilet paper, there are also wet wipes for sensitive areas.
There is also a compact type that is convenient to carry, so you can easily use it even on a work day.

Cleanliness is the number one priority, but don't scrub!
Care should be taken when washing the delicate zone. Since the skin is thin, if you scrub it with a strong body soap, you may remove too much of the sebum that protects the skin. It can cause dryness, itchiness, and even blackheads.
Use a special soap to gently wash sensitive areas with thin skin.

There are many special soaps such as Intima, so please try to find one that suits you.

Wear breathable underwear
One way to prevent stuffiness is to avoid wearing body-fitting clothing such as corrective underwear and thick tights for a long time so that moisture does not accumulate in the delicate zone.
Wear absorbent, breathable cotton or silk underwear whenever possible.

Over-the-counter medicines for itching and rashes
Itching and rashes in the delicate zone can sometimes be resolved with over-the-counter medicines.
Various medicines such as creams and gels are sold, so let's find the one that suits you.



★ There is also a mist type medicine "Feminina Mist" that can be used easily.

* If itching or rashes do not improve even after using over-the-counter medicines, or if they repeat over and over again, immediately see a gynecologist or a dermatologist.

-A period when itching and rashes are likely to occur-
Itching and rashes are more likely to occur when the body's immunity is weakened due to stress or fatigue.

Not only during menstruation, but also during pregnancy and menopause, it is a time when it is easy to become sensitive to stimuli due to hormonal imbalance.

When your immune system is weakened, you are more likely to experience various health problems, so it is necessary to exercise regularly, get good quality sleep, eat well-balanced meals, and try not to build up stress. am.

Try changing sanitary products
Sanitary products may not be suitable. Consider looking for a comfortable napkin that fits you well and is gentle on your skin.
Organic cotton napkins, which are said to be less stressful on the skin, are also good.


Even in the napkins we deal with at the shop. There are many products that consider the burden on the skin.

For example, Sophie Hadaomoi ORGANIC 100%
・Eris bare skin feeling ・Laurier happy bare skin

If you're wondering which one to try, I personally recommend "Natura Moon", which you often see in magazines. !

With the concept of being as comfortable as a cloth napkin, this napkin was developed for women who suffer from stuffiness and rashes caused by napkins!

☺There is also an option not to use disposable napkins!
□Cloth napkins <br>There are many people who love cloth napkins because they feel "good to the touch" because the material does not get stuffy.
You may think, "If it's a cloth, menstrual blood will seep into your clothes?"
However, you need to wash it after use, so it may be difficult to incorporate it into your work. (Because you have to put the used cloth napkin in a plastic bag and take it home...)
I want to use it! be interested! But... If you suddenly feel uncomfortable with just cloth napkins... ・First, try using a cloth napkin on top of the disposable napkin you are currently using. It may be good to use it according to your lifestyle, such as using it.

□Menstrual cup <br>A sanitary product to be used inside the vagina. Collect menstrual blood in the cup, remove the cup, discard the menstrual blood, insert it again and use it repeatedly.
You don't have to worry about stuffiness because you don't use a napkin, but it's an item that requires a trick to put on and take off.
But when you get used to it, there are many voices saying "comfortable 💛".

Treat pubic hair
Menstrual blood can get into the pubic hair and lead to stuffiness.
Trimming your pubic hair on a daily basis is also one of the measures against stuffiness in the delicate zone during menstruation.

Beware of itching due to illness!
Strong itching may be caused by venereal diseases or diseases such as candida, so be careful.
If the color or smell of the vaginal discharge is clearly different from usual when itching, it is possible that the condition of the vagina is worsening and that it may be causing an illness, so please see a doctor.

Paying attention to vaginal discharge on a regular basis will lead to a vaginal health check.
With the menstrual cycle, the discharge also changes. By understanding the state of normal vaginal discharge and the rough pattern of changes due to the menstrual cycle, you may be able to quickly notice changes in your physical condition and the possibility of illness.

*It is normal for a woman's delicate zone to smell. The vaginal discharge that is secreted to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina is acidic, so it smells a little sour. There is no odor around you, so you don't have to be nervous.
Due to the effects of aging, you may become concerned about the smell of your delicate zone. Especially in the late 30s, when female hormone levels decrease, the vagina becomes less lubricated and becomes more prone to dryness.
For those who are concerned about it, it is important to gently wash it with a special soap for the delicate zone and moisturize it with a cream or oil specifically for the delicate zone!
