Taking care of your feminine hygiene: the complete guide for sporty women and teens

When you're on the move every day, whether at school, work, training, or competing, taking care of your personal hygiene becomes even more important. It's not about perfection, but about comfort, confidence, and health.

At Haomah, we think it's time to talk about it all simply – whether you're 13 or 30, with or without your period, in leggings or gym shorts.

1. Clean your intimate area gently

You don't need harsh products to feel clean. Instead, choose a gentle, pH-balanced cleansing gel specifically formulated for intimate hygiene. Avoid conventional soaps, which are often too harsh.

👉 Note: Washing once a day, with clean hands (not a glove), is more than enough. Any more than that and you risk disrupting your vaginal flora.

2. Listen to your body during your period (and after exercise)

Whether you've just finished a dance session, swimming, or PE class, discomfort can quickly set in. Fragrance-free intimate wipes, formulated to respect the intimate area, are a good ally—as long as you don't overdo it.

And above all, during your period, choose comfortable protection that lets your skin breathe. Menstrual panties for teens or menstrual leggings for women are real alternatives for moving around without discomfort, even during heavy flow.

3. Think about your diet and hydration

Intimate health also depends on what you put on your plate. Foods rich in probiotics (yogurt, kefir, etc.), fiber, and antioxidants contribute to a balanced vaginal flora. Drinking enough water remains an essential foundation.

4. Choose suitable underwear

Cotton remains the best option. It allows the skin to breathe and limits the risk of irritation, especially after a workout. Also, remember to change quickly after exercising: staying in wet clothes or synthetic materials is never ideal.

5. Manage your personal hygiene according to the times of life

After childbirth, surgery, or simply during periods of intense fatigue, your intimate balance may be more fragile. This is normal. During these times, don't hesitate to consult a healthcare professional if you experience any unusual discomfort.

6. Respect your hormonal balance

The menstrual cycle can affect intimate sensations. Some periods are more sensitive than others. Again, everyone has their own rhythm: some women will need more comfort just before their period, others during or after.

Protections like menstrual sports panties allow you to go through all these phases without discomfort.

7. Take care of your intimate area when you are stressed

Chronic stress can weaken your vaginal flora. Remember to incorporate moments of recovery into your week: a little yoga, a walk, deep breathing... and a good night's sleep. That's hygiene too.

8. Know how to recognize warning signs

Burning, itching, strong odor, unusual discharge? It's not a matter of poor hygiene, but often of imbalance or infection. In this case, it's better to consult a professional rather than self-medicate.

To remember

• Intimate hygiene is not just about washing more: it involves simple actions that respect the body.

• During your period or after exercise, choose comfortable menstrual clothing that will fit you comfortably.

• Good hygiene also means sleeping well, eating well, and knowing how to listen to yourself.
