Hygiene

Thursday, September 21, 2023

Our lovely Filipinas often find themselves facing the challenges of extreme humidity. Whether they are seeking solace indoors within the comfort of their homes or venturing outdoors, this is a common struggle, particularly during the rainy season. Moisture is the enemy of many ladies. It brings about unwelcome transformations that can truly disrupt our well-being. From the dreaded frizzier hair to the bane of acne-prone skin, not to mention the overall unpleasant and sticky sensation that lingers throughout the day.



Today, I want to shed light on a topic that many women tend to keep to themselves: the impact of humidity on our intimate areas. It's time to have an open and honest conversation about this often overlooked aspect of our health and well-being.

Here are some fabulous tips from the amazing Carefree ambassador, Rei Germar, that will surely help you conquer those pesky kulob and icky feels that tend to creep up on us during this rainy season:

  • It is crucial to prioritize your well-being by ensuring that you have your rainy-day essentials readily available at all times.



To ensure optimal protection from the rain, it is essential to equip yourself with practical essentials such as foldable umbrellas, raincoats, and even compact towels. These items will not only shield you from the elements but also help maintain your overall well-being during wet weather conditions.


  • Discover the secret to maintaining optimal hygiene and freshness throughout the day with the incredible Carefree pantyliners. 



These little wonders are designed to provide you with the utmost comfort and protection for your intimate areas. By incorporating Carefree pantyliners into your daily routine, you can ensure that you stay clean and fresh, no matter what challenges the day may bring. Embrace the confidence that comes from knowing you have a reliable companion by your side, keeping you feeling your best from morning to night. Elevate your personal care routine with Carefree pantyliners and experience the difference.

There are different variants for different needs like Carefree Breathable for the clean, airy panty feeling all day, Carefree Super Dry to protect your panty from heavy daily discharge, and Carefree Healthy Fresh for superior odor-control. My personal favorite here is Carefree Breathable.

  • Touch up your look with makeup and some perfume



Enhancing your appearance can truly uplift your spirits and radiate positive vibes! Understanding the importance of maintaining a radiant appearance throughout the day not only boosts my confidence but also aids in warding off that unpleasant sensation that tends to creep in, particularly during dreary weather conditions.


Dr. May Gonzaga, a gynecologist, also shares a few tips that can help Filipinas keep their intimate areas clean and fresh during this time of the year. Dr. Gonzaga notes, "The humid season is when we should pay more attention to our personal hygiene and intimate areas because it makes women more susceptible to infections. Anything that increases the retention of heat, sweat, and wetness can lead to intimate discomforts, and more importantly, it can make the abnormal bacteria flourish and thrive, which can lead to vulvar, vaginal, and urinary tract infections, peculiar foul-smelling smells, and abnormal unwanted discharges from the intimate area. To keep us ladies clean and fresh this humid season, we should have good healthy habits, proper intimate hygiene, and use natural, thin, light, unscented, comfortable cotton, hypoallergenic undergarments, and pantyliners to keep us dry the whole day and to minimize the building up of bacteria and infections.”


To avoid and minimize the buildup of bad bacteria in the intimate area and thereby prevent possible infections & the discomfort that goes with it, Dr. Gonzaga also recommends that ladies have a healthy lifestyle in general in terms of diet and exercise,  with an emphasis on:

1. Practicing a habit of good feminine "hygiene"



Always wash and wipe from front to back! Use water and mild soaps only, and washing the intimate area once to two times a day is adequate. Once you overwash, you will wash away the good, healthy bacteria. And when this happens, the 'bad' bacteria may colonize and give symptoms of unpleasant odors, discharge, and infections.

2. Wear breathable clothes



Using cotton, comfortable underwear instead of those synthetic fiber panties can lead to irritation, itchiness, inflammation, and even infections. Avoid wearing tight clothes like tight undergarments, tight skinny jeans, tight pants, or tight leggings that do not allow air to pass through your intimate area. Because our intimate area also needs to breathe. By allowing fresh air to pass through the area, it minimizes perspiration, gives one more comfort, and makes one less susceptible to irritation and infections.

3. By using a natural, thin, light, unscented, comfortable, cotton, hypoallergenic pantyliners to keep the vulvar area clean and dry the whole day.



Changing every 3 to 5 hours a day, depending on the day of the cycle, is recommended. This is to prevent vaginal irritations, itching, inflammation, infections, and unpleasant odors and discharges from occurring.


Alex Burgos, brand manager, shares, “As the leading pantyliner brand, Carefree believes that Filipinas should not be bothered and not be accustomed to the icky sensation within the vaginal area. We advocate for women to not only be clean, but to be Carefree clean.”

It's time for school now!  Student are excited to come to school and meet their classmates and teachers. During this day, the exciting week, students are so conscious of how they interact with their fellow mates, especially that they are in their adolescence stage. With some girls starting to have that feeling of self-conscious about their body as they have begun their puberty stage. 

In my case, me and my teenage daughter has so many opportunities talking about the sudden changes of her lifetime she's experiencing now, especially her physical changes. Not to forget, by giving her advice's that these changes are part of the natural process of growing up as she enter into adulthood.

Now that she's in school, she need to relax and have some fun even during school days. To loosen up and deliver some play, Mikaela uses Pure'n Fresh Fabulously Fruity Feminine Wash and Tropical Splash Cologne.


In the package, I got a small box of Pure'n Fresh Teen Essentials Pack consist of a feminine wash and a cologne.



Excited to give this to my daughter, because she need this the most.

PURE'N FRESH is a product of UNILAB that gives you a line of feminine products made especially made for teens and also for tweens. It is guaranteed safe, mild and dermatologically tested, so mothers you don't have to worry with the product.

PURE 'N FRESH® FABULOUSLY FRUITY FEMININE WASH




Girls that starts puberty early will have this notion to over react to this kind of phenomenon.  As I handed the pack to my daughter, she over-reacted it as well! Why she need this feminine wash? What for?

I talked to her about the following bodily changes that will happen to her during puberty and I merely focus to explain to her about MENSTRUATION. The hygiene related to menstrual cycles should not be left behind. And because sometimes they are always in a hurry going to school, forgetting all the necessities to be done, my advice is to bring with her her feminine wash.


Be sure that our daughters has the supplies like napkins for their period. Since they are away from home they should have that one thing that they need to bring to school aside from the napkins, is the Feminine Wash.

This feminine wash will help her because it has:

  • pH-balanced, maintains the natural pH of the external genitalia.
  • Has milk proteins and Chamomile extract to help nourish the skin moisture.
  • Removes odor-causing bacteria.
  • Mild and gentle for everyday use.
  • Clinically tested by OB-Gynecologists.


PURE 'N FRESH® TROPICAL SPLASH COLOGNE 




Skin is the most noticeable part in our body.
And during puberty stage the skin of a teenage girl becomes more oily and they sweat even to a greater extent!  


That is why they need to take a shower or to bathe everyday particularly during their period to keep their skin clean and to use deodorant after bathing to keep body odor and wetness under control.

And to keep my daughter brighten up her day in spite of the stressful day that she had from school and to keep her fresh and cool, I give her the Tropical Splash Cologne, with this it can help lighten up her day and boost back her confidence.


  • It's Hypo-allergenic
  • Dermatologist-tested, very mild and gentle on teen skin.

We parents should set examples to our children, we must be considerate and supportive regarding their school needs especially parents who have girl teenagers.




I hope Mikaela will follow the points I have given her, now that she's already 14 years old and with my guidance she will know how to see the differences in maturity.  

And enjoy the days in school with CONFIDENCE!
