"The vulva (the outer part of your intimate area) is not self-cleansing like the vagina. Sweat and urine can easily get trapped in its hair follicles, disrupting its delicate pH balance. It's crucial to use a gentle wash with a pH of 5 specifically formulated for the vulva to avoid irritation, discomfort, and infections. Similarly, silicone-based lubricants are preferred over water-based ones for vaginal health as they do not require preservatives, preserving the "good" vaginal bacteria and maintaining the delicate pH balance."
-Dr. Gunvor Ekman-Ordeberg, OB/GYN, MD.,PhD.
FAQs
WHY SILICON-BASED LUBRICANT?
A silicone-based formula does not require preservatives—which means it won't interfere with the "good" (Lactobacillus) vaginal bacteria and won't disrupt its delicate pH balance. From a vaginal health perspective, we recommend silicon-based lubricants.
SHOULD I USE WATER-BASED LUBRICANT?
No. Water-based lubricants require preservatives to prevent bacterial growth, which means they can interfere with the "good" (Lactobacillus) vaginal bacteria and thus set off the pH balance and potentially lead to infections or discomfort.

WHY DO YOUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN PERFUME?
DeoDoc only uses hypoallergenic scents/perfumes in all of our products. Hypoallergenic scents are free from alcohol, allergens and irritants, therefore, they are safe for intimate skin.
Regular perfume should never be used in the intimate area as it contains:
- alcohol which can have a dehydrating effect
- allergens that can cause irritation
WHY SHOULD MY INTIMATE WASH HAVE A PH OF 5?
Any products used on the vulva should have a pH of 5 (as the vulva has a pH of 5). You should never wash with regular soap, body wash or gel, as these contain a higher pH level and non-hypoallergenic fragrance ingredients that are not correctly formulated for intimate skin. Products with a different pH level than the vulva can disrupt your vulva’s natural pH, leading to irritation, discomfort and possibly infections.
IS THE WASH SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
Yes, our Daily Wash is carefully formulated to gently cleanse without disrupting the vulvar microbiome.
