If you’ve suffered from irritation before you’ll know just how annoying it can be. So what can you do to avoid it?

• Wearing tight and restricting clothes can irritate your intimate skin, so when your little black dress isn’t called for, get those cotton baggies on! And give your skin some time to breathe.
• Having a gorgeously scented shower gel is great for the skin on the outside, but your intimate skin likes it a little less fussy. femfresh daily wash is delicately fragranced and it's specially formulated pH-balance formula is one of the kindest ways to care for your intimate skin.
• Avoid strongly perfumed washing powders, opt for the most sensitive on the market.
• Don’t forget...wipe front to back! And why not keep some femfresh wipes in your bag to freshen up when you’re on the go!
• Eating a healthy, balanced diet and drinking alcohol and caffeine in moderation, all help to maintain good general health and will help reduce irritation.

• Flush bugs through your system by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day, such as water or herbal teas.
• Pee regularly! Waiting until you’re bursting can give any bacteria more of a chance to multiply.
• Use a natural lubricant during sex.
• If you regularly suffer from cystitis, try drinking cranberry juice or try cranberry tablets. There is good evidence to suggest a substance present in cranberry juice prevents bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder, making infections less likely to occur.
• Pee before and after sex to flush through any bacteria. If you suffer badly from urinary tract infections, shower straight after or use a suitable intimate cleansing wipe.
