Don’t disrupt the natural pH of your intimate area. Regular soaps and body washes are often alkaline which means that they have a pH that is higher than the natural pH of your intimate area. This can result in a disruption of your body’s natural pH balance by decreasing your natural protection.

While washing with water has a cleansing effect, water alone will not protect the natural balance of your intimate area. A low pH creates the natural balance between good and bad bacteria. Many factors can disturb the delicate natural balance of your body’s protective flora and if the disturbance is too great, these flora can no longer adapt, which may result in discomfort.

There are many factors that can affect the natural pH balance of your intimate area and sometimes small changes in your daily routine can result in big changes to the way your body maintains this natural balance. Hormones also affect the pH level of your intimate area. The important thing is to listen to your body and if you have any concerns about your intimate health, consult your doctor.

Support the health of your intimate area with the BETADINE® Feminine Care range, which contains prebiotics to encourage your natural protection.

The range’s unique Tri-Care+™ formulation, combined with prebiotics, provides daily protection from unwanted symptoms associated with pH imbalance. Prebiotics are good organisms that form part of the body’s natural flora and help keep it healthy by preventing the invasion of unhealthy organisms. This unique combination provides protection from unwanted symptoms associated with pH imbalance.

The BETADINE® Feminine Care range is formulated with natural ingredients and is also soap, paraben and colorant free – which also helps maintain natural pH levels – and is mildly fragranced. Designed exclusively to meet your daily feminine hygiene needs, the range is available in foam ($8.50/100ml, $14.50/200ml) and liquid ($14.50/250ml) versions.

BETADINE® Daily Feminine Wash Gentle Protection nourishes and supports growth of your healthy intimate flora for natural protection against feminine discomforts. An imbalance in healthy intimate flora could result in a variety of symptoms, such as itch, odour and excessive discharge. One of its ingredients is Immortelle, also known as the everlasting flower, which serves as a natural antioxidant that repairs free radical damage and helps improve the skin’s natural moisture.

BETADINE® Daily Feminine Wash Fresh and Active is for women who engage in intense physical activities such as sports and therefore have a higher level of perspiration, which could lead to feeling uncomfortable even in the intimate area. It contains lemon verbena, a natural and organic extract that leaves a refreshing and cooling sensation on the skin or around the intimate area.

Women with skin prone to dryness can feel dry around their intimate area too and this is where the BETADINE® Daily Feminine Wash Moisturising variant helps. One of its ingredients is calendula, which keeps the skin healthy and protected against dryness.

An exciting new product is BETADINE® Feminine Wipes Gentle Protection ($2.80), a quick and easy solution suitable for frequent use and an essential item in every smart woman’s handbag.
