Fragrances
Not the fragrances in your candles or air freshener – the fragrances in your bath products and beyond. Your body wash or detergent can have fragrances and dyes that irritate the vagina and lead to not only itching and burning but also dryness. When your body is having an allergic reaction to something, its usual operations – like proper lubrication – can take a hit while inflammation occurs and histamines flood your system. Make sure to use unscented, all-natural laundry detergent and soaps. It’s best, in general, not to put soap near your vagina. It is self-cleaning after all. Remember the detergent you use to wash your bed sheets can irritate your vagina as well.
