Frequently Asked Questions
Feminine hygiene is an important topic for women of all ages. From the basics of everyday practices to the more complex needs that come with the changing seasons, it is essential to stay informed and up to date on the latest information. Our team at FemiYouth is here to answer frequently asked questions about feminine hygiene to help make the process easier and more comfortable for young girls and women.
At what age should I talk to my daughter about feminine hygiene?
It is best to teach your daughter about how puberty will affect her hygiene routine before she starts experiencing changes that she may not be expecting. We recommend starting the conversation as early as 7 or 8, as they will be old enough to understand and they will be close enough to puberty starting.
How should I talk to my daughter about periods?
Each mother/daughter relationship will vary in how this conversation takes place. The important part is to keep an open conversation to create a safe space for her to talk and ask questions. The conversation should include what she will expect and that it’s just a normal part of growing up. Adding a few details of when you first got your period will also help her feel more comfortable.
What hygiene products should I avoid?
Any scented products that have added fragrance should not be used around sensitive areas. Scents can irritate the skin of the vulva, causing irritation or even infection.
What products are safe to use?
Always check the ingredients of your feminine products before using them. Products with natural, organic ingredients are the safest for intimate health and overall well-being. At FemiYouth, we pride ourselves on our ingredients, as they are rigorously selected for the highest safety and quality standards.
Why use a feminine wash?
Feminine washes are formulated to maintain the pH balance, cleanse, and protect against bacteria and odors to provide a fresh feeling. Our intimate wash is made of 100% all-natural ingredients that are very gentle and developed especially for young girls and teens' intimate hygiene.
What products are good for youth care?
We specialize in products made to empower young girls. Our FemiFresh Daily pH Balanced Wash is a gentle, natural fragrance-free cleanser designed specifically for young girls and teens. We also created cleansing wipes for any needs on the go.
Are washes bad for feminine hygiene?
Using a highly scented product like a regular body wash can irritate the vaginal area and mess with the delicate balance of pH levels. As the vagina does work to clean itself, using gentle, pH-balanced washes like our FemiFresh daily will help maintain healthy female hygiene.
When should I start seeing a gynecologist?
The recommended age to see a gynecologist is when you turn 21, or when you become sexually active.
Are there any vitamins to promote female health?
Yes! At FemiYouth, we have cranberry gummies for women and young girls of all ages. These gummies promote female health and work to prevent any urinary tract infections. Other supplements can include vitamin D and vitamin C for added support to female health.
