Your vagina is one of the most sensitive areas of your body, so taking good care of it should always be a priority. With a new theme each week, Lactacyd’s V Health Awareness Campaign in October ensures you’re equipped with everything you need to know. The best part? You can do it in the comfort of your home by checking out their Facebook page. Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect.

1 STAY COMFORTABLE

It’s tempting to go wild when you’re buying lingerie, but the best material for your V is actually cotton. It allows your vagina to breathe and absorbs the moisture that could breed nasty bacteria. So remember, don’t just go for the pretty ones the next time you shop!

2 EAT RIGHT

A balanced diet is important in keeping your vagina happy, so instead of reaching out for that bag of chips, consider something more nutritious but equally yummy. Greek yoghurt with almonds, anyone?

3 INTIMACY

Vaginal dryness not only makes sex less enjoyable, but can also cause cuts and tears. Always make sure you’re sufficiently lubricated and visit a gynecologist if you have any doubts at all about your vaginal health.

4 A THOROUGH WORKOUT

Exercise is important – even for your V! Make Kegel exercises part of your gym routine to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. If that’s not a big enough motivation, bear in mind that it’s also the key to mind blowing orgasms!
