How does Balance Moisturizing Wash work?

Balance Moisturizing Wash cleanses and moisturizes with a combination of aloe vera, soothing botanicals, and lactic acid. It is pH-balanced to support the pH of the vulva using our Bio-Match® technology. Balance contains no parabens, petrochemicals, harsh soaps, fragrance, or toxic ingredients known to disrupt the vulva tissues. We do not recommend soaps for cleansing the vulva area as they can strip the delicate lining of the vulva biome. Read more about why we don’t recommend soaps. Balance is for external use only.

Does Balance Moisturizing Wash help with vulva dryness?

Yes, Balance has botanical extracts that moisturize while cleansing. When combined with our other Bio-Match® products, Balance helps to increase natural moisture by supporting a healthy vaginal ecosystem, which extends to the vulva.

How do I use a vulvar wash?

Once you’ve found a pH-balanced wash you like, what is the best way to clean the vagina? First, let’s clarify a key detail: a good intimate wash is actually designed to be used externally, on the vulva — not inside the vagina. What’s the difference? The vagina is the interior part of the female genitalia; it is self-cleaning, and there is no need to use any kind of soap or intimate wash there, even after sex or during your period. Use your natural intimate cleanser only on the vulva, which is the part that you can see from the outside, including the labia majora, labia minora, vestibule, and tip of the clitoris. So how to clean the vulva? Simple: Use an intimate wash once a day with your hand (not a washcloth), using cool or lukewarm water. This might also be a good time to wash the anus, as well as the perineum, which is between the anus and the vulva. Whenever you’re working in this area, always move front to back, starting with the vulva and moving back toward the anus, so that you don’t accidentally push bacteria from the anus forward into the urethra or vagina. When you’re finished, dry gently but thoroughly. Get on with your day and pat yourself on the back for choosing a natural wash that leaves you clean, moisturized, and pH balanced. Wondering how to wash your vagina when you’re traveling? Don’t have time to get in the shower and break out the vaginal wash? Try some pH-balanced moisturizing wipes instead. They’re a convenient and portable way to bring the best hygiene wipes with you wherever you go.

Can I use your washes to clean toys?

We recommend following the manufacturer’s washing instructions provided with the toy. Different materials may require different cleaning protocols.

Let's Talk About Odor

Some intimate odor is natural and 100% normal. Balance Wash is here for the abnormal, when there's a buildup of sweat and moisture: during your period, after sex, or any time you're feeling funky in ways that don't make you want to dance. What your body doesn’t need is a harsh, drying soap or artificial fragrance. Instead, turn to our gentle moisturizing wash with aloe and natural botanicals to restore balance and get your body back to normal.
