You probably trot out a two-hour pamper sesh complete with a meticulously planned skincare regimen, full body exfoliation, eyebrow pluck and hair mask at the drop of a hat, but have you ever considered giving your vagina the same treatment?
Well, the time is now girlfriend! As V-talk becomes less taboo and more widely talked about across the mainstream, now is the time to look into what sort of care your vagina might need. There’s ample discussion on how much cleaning a vagina actually requires, bearing in mind the delicate pH balance and proneness to irritation, but keeping things fresh and clean is a must.
Here’s a collection of beauty products for your downstairs that have hit the shelves recently.
1. The Honey Pot Normal Wash
Created by a bad-ass feminist brand, this intimate care wash is, *cue hallelujah music*, free from toxic chemicals and unnecessary fragrances. Formulated with plant-based goodness, The Honey Pot’s Normal Wash is made for girls and women who are not usually prone to sensitivity, but there is an option for gals with sensitive Vs. This shower staple works to banish odour-causing bacteria with every use, balance pH levels with natural plant essences and boost moisture levels to avoid dryness. Well, we can get on board with that.

5. The Perfect V Luminizer
Ok ok, we fear we might be venturing into the highly unnecessary here. Pretty much a highlighter for your V, this cream is “designed to add some extra prettiness to the bikini area.” Hmmm. It’s enriched with vitamin E, which renews and improves the skin to keep it looking youthful and fresh (and let’s face it—nobody wants a prematurely aged vagina, #amiright?). The iridescent colour brightens and well, luminizes the area. Shine bright, vaginas!
