Men's intimate hygiene – products to cleanse, care for and protect your skin

Paying too much or too little attention to personal hygiene in sensitive intimate areas can quickly lead to discomfort. If you wash yourself too often, your skin will dry out and become more vulnerable to germs. Neglecting men’s intimate hygiene causes bacteria and other pathogens to multiply unchecked. This can cause unpleasant odours, and in the worst case, genital diseases. That’s why it’s important to make sure you are caring for this intimate area properly. At parfumdreams, you’ll find a range of products to help you with this.

Which products are suitable for men’s intimate hygiene?

The glans is a particularly sensitive area for men. If you use a normal shower gel to wash this area, it could lead to skin irritation and itching. This is because soap and other alkaline substances have a higher pH value. They attack the skin’s natural protective acid mantle and dry out the skin. This means that it is no longer able to protect itself.

pH skin-neutral products specially designed for men’s intimate hygiene are slightly acidic to match the pH level of the skin. This leaves the protective acid mantle in tact. A mild intimate washing lotion or intimate wash gel with a skin-soothing formula will support you in your daily intimate hygiene routine, while also providing protection against infections. They are also suitable for use in the anal area.
