Himalaya For Moms Intimate Care Range Review
Hi guys,
Himalaya had launched For Moms range about a year ago and I had reviewed a few products from the range, see HERE.
Starting with the Intimate Wash,
Claims: During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes, the intimate area is prone to excessive vaginal discharge, irritation, and itching which increases discomfort. Pregnancy hormones cause acidic changes in the vaginal area. To maintain the acidic pH balance of the intimate area, it is essential to include an intimate wash in your personal hygiene routine.
Maintaining vaginal hygiene is an important task for women during and after pregnancy. Soap and water are not ideal as soap, which is alkaline, disturbs the vaginal pH balance and can be too harsh. Water alone will not suffice as it has a neutral pH. Himalaya FOR MOMS Intimate Wash is specially formulated for women during and after pregnancy to gently cleanse the intimate area, maintaining freshness throughout the day.
Benefits of using Himalaya Intimate Wash FOR MOMS:
- To cleanse excessive vaginal discharge
- To maintain normal vaginal pH balance between 3.5 and 4.5
- To help control itching
- To help control odor and irritation
- To feel fresh and confident
MRP: Rs.125 for 100ml, Rs.220 for 200ml
An intimate wash is something which should be a part of your daily routine, whether pregnant or not. I have been using this since the past few days and I quite like it. It’s very gentle on the skin and cleans the area well. It doesn’t dry out the skin and it claims to be safe to use during and post pregnancy.
It has a simple, no fuss packaging with a flip cap top and dispenses the required product. It has tea tree oil and pongamia oil which are anti bacterial and help prevent itching and odour.
Coming to Intimate Wipes,
Claims: Himalaya FOR MOMS Intimate Wipes is specially formulated for gentle cleansing of the vaginal area to maintain freshness throughout the day.
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs. 47 for 10 sheets and Rs. 104 for 25 sheets
When you are on the go, you cannot use an intimate wash and that is when intimate wipes come into picture. These are perfect for travelling, a pack of 10 sheets is something you can easily carry along in your bag.
These would be really beneficial for mothers post pregnancy, especially if you have had a normal delivery, because the discharge doesn’t leave you months, at times.
It has lavender oil and pongamia oil which again helps in controlling odour and keeping the area dry, clean and fresh.
Finally for all you moms out there who are breast feeding, Himalaya has launched Nursing Wipes
Claims: Taking care of nipples is important for lactating mothers – both during travel and while at home. These wipes gently clean and remove any milk or sweat remnants on the breast and help prepare you for breastfeeding.
Regular breastfeeding can increase the sensitivity of the nipple skin, leading to sore, cracked nipples. Cleansing with soaps can remove natural moisture, further irritating sensitive skin. The use of wipes before and after nursing improves breast hygiene and ensures comfortable breastfeeding.
Himalaya FOR MOMS Nursing Wipes help maintain breast hygiene naturally. Free from mineral oil, our Nursing Wipes contain the goodness of 100% edible grade coconut oil.
Coconut Oil
- Hydrates and softens dry nipples
- Protects skin from chapping
- Reduces dryness and soreness
Ingredients:
Directions: Pull out one wipe and gently cleanse the nipple and areola before and after breastfeeding. Dispose after one use. Reseal the package to keep the wipes fresh.
MRP: Rs.70 for 24 sheets, Rs.190 for 72 sheets
I gave this to a friend who delivered a baby boy 2 months ago and is breast feeding. She does use a nipple cream when the baby is not feeding and has to clean and dry the area often.
She found these wipes really helpful, especially when she is out with the baby because you cannot carry everything with you when going out of the house. These are really useful for lactating mothers during the breast feeding period.
I am glad Himalaya made a separate category For Moms and is adding new products time and again.
