- The vaginal discharge increases caused by high levels of estrogen and progesterone and this can lead to infections.
- The vaginal swelling becomes larger
- Pregnancy hormones cause acidic changes in the vaginal area. You need to use an intimate wash which can help you maintain the PH balance.
- Also, after delivery, the vagina might be swollen and bruised. So it may hurt to even urinate.
New moms and breastfeeding moms need to take special care of their intimate area. Here are some tips;
- Keep your vaginal area clean. Use Intimate wash to wash this area.
- Wipe from front to back with intimate wipes to keep this area dry.
- Wear looser clothing or underwear.
- Eat yoghurt regularly.
- Reduce your sugar intake.
- Drink lots of liquid.
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet and get regular exercise.
Himalaya FOR MOMS Intimate range has been developed for new moms, especially keeping this in mind.

I found both these products to be very unique as I have never seen a product for intimate care being made keeping in mind a pregnant woman or a new mom. In fact, how many pregnant women and new moms are even aware that their vaginal area needs special care? Were you aware of this? Have an opinion? Do share, we would love to listen to your opinion.
