Developed to be Kind to Vulva Skin

Maintains natural pH balance: Similar to showering with plain water, WaterWipes™ helps maintain the natural pH balance of the intimate area, which is slightly acidic*. pH balance is crucial for preventing infections and irritation by reducing the risk of bacterial vaginosis and other infections.

Avoids discomfort: Many personal care products contain fragrances, soaps, foaming agents that may irritate the sensitive skin of the vulva. WaterWipes™ is gentle and contains minimal ingredients which is ideal for vulva skin.

Does not disturb the all-important vulva microbiome: The vulva and vagina contain beneficial bacteria that help keep it healthy. Using minimal ingredient formulations may help avoid disrupting this natural flora, which may happen with soaps and other products. WaterWipes™ Feminine range have been certified as Kind to Biome® (Vulva protocol).

Minimal ingredients: Frequent use of fragrances and numerous ingredients may strip the intimate area of its natural protective bacteria, potentially increasing the risk of infections such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Simpler formulations with minimal ingredients are ideal for the vulva region
