Femfresh Intimate Hygiene Feminine Freshness Deodorant Spray, 125 ml (Pack of 1), Packing may vary

Product Information

Areas around the vagina are way more sensitive than other parts of the body. Hence, besides considering other factors, make sure to look for fragrance-free products. Any type of synthetic fragrance can cause infection and break down sensitive skin. The vagina is self-cleaning. Products like douches aren't necessary, and can cause infections like BV. Cleaning the vulva (the skin around the vagina) once a day with water is enough. Soap isn't necessary, but if you do want to use it, use mild, unscented soap. If you think you may have it, talk to a doctor or nurse who might recommend a test if you have signs and symptoms. You may be offered a test during pregnancy if you have symptoms. Chen Y, et al.

With all of that to consider, plus the thousands of products on the market, narrowing down which one is right for you can be overwhelming. To take out the guesswork, we researched and tested over 35 best-selling deodorants, antiperspirants, and hybrid products of varying application types and formulations. Our team of expert testers evaluated products for efficacy, texture, scent, transfer resistance, and overall value, scoring each on a scale of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (highly recommend) in these key categories. We used these scores and detailed insights to create this final list of recommendations for our readers. Both deodorants and antiperspirants are suitable for everyday use, depending on what benefits you are looking for," New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Rosemarie Ingleton tells Allure.
