The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 based on how acidic or alkaline something is – anything below 7 is acidic, while a number above 7 is alkaline (or basic). A healthy external vaginal area, or vulva, has an acidic pH. The acidic nature is important to your body’s natural defense and maintaining a good environment for a healthy external vaginal area. That’s why it’s so important to use products formulated to complement the natural pH range of your external vaginal area. 

Yes. Products formulated for your entire body can throw off the external vaginal pH balance and may cause discomfort or even irritation. All Vagisil products are designed especially for vulvar use – pH balanced, safe and effective for sensitive intimate skin, and tested by gynecologists and dermatologists

None of the Vagisil products have been tested on animals.

We all have our unique scent. It's natural. But there are factors that can create external odours that you may find unpleasant. The vulva has sweat glands just like the armpit, and sweat bacteria leads to odour. Bodily fluids including menstrual blood, urine, and semen also create external odour. Noticable odour may be a sign of a pH imbalance. Internal vaginal infections such as BV produce a noticable fishy odour which should be discussed with your doctor. If an odour is particularly strong or lasts for several days even with regular hygeine, speak with your doctor about it.

Many gynecologists still do not recommend fragrance-containing products. They may be unaware of our new skin-friendly scents that are formulated with hypoallergenic scent ingredients and are gentle enough for intimate skin. Our products are gynecologist-tested, so whether you enjoy a scent experience or prefer a product with no added fragrance like our 0% Wash, there's a Vagisil® product that's just right for you.

We all use many products specifically formulated for a specific area of the body -- toothpaste to clean teeth, shampoo to clean hair. Vagisil washes are no exception. They are designed especially for vulvar use – pH balanced to vulvar skin, safe and effective for sensitive intimate skin, and tested by gynecologists and dermatologists.

Vagisil^® washes are specially formulated for the vulva and are pH balanced to intimate skin. Soaps have a pH much higher than intimate skin, and even typical washes and cleansing bars are typically formulated at a pH higher than the intimate area.

While the vagina (internal) is self-cleaning, the vulva (the external vaginal area) is not. Gentle cleansing of the vulva with a pH-balanced wash like Vagisil is important for removing common materials like vaginal discharge, urine, and feces that can accumulate daily and cause odour and irritation. These materials are not readily removed with water alone, and vulvar skin benefits from gentle cleansing with a pH-balanced wash

Yes. Vagisil® powder is made with natural corn starch and is 100% talc free. It's specially formulated for the vulva and is gynecologist-tested.

Vagisil® Ultra Fresh powder is made with corn starch that absorbs moisture and odour to keep your intimate area fresh and comfortable. Its smooth, silky feel also protects from irritation due to chafing.
