Directions ● Wet the area: Begin by splashing water on the external vaginal area or take this step while in the shower or bath to ensure the area is moist. ● Apply the wash: Pump a small amount of the foam onto your hand. The foam should be rich and airy. Typically, two pumps are sufficient. ● Gentle Cleansing: Gently apply foam to the delicate areas. Use your hand to spread the foam, covering the entire area with gentle, circular motions. Avoid using sponges or washcloths, as they can be too abrasive. ● Rinse thoroughly: After cleansing, rinse thoroughly with warm water. Ensure all traces of the wash are removed to avoid irritation. ● Pat dry: Gently pat the area with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing, as this may cause irritation. It's important to ensure the area is completely dry before dressing to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to irritation or infections.
