What is the specific purpose of them? How do they differ from normal shower gels? Why do women need/should use them (because I’ve only seen them advertised to women) and do men need/should use them?
In: Biology
The specific purpose of them is to sell something people don’t really need.
They do differ from normal soaps; they are supposedly “pH balanced” to match the pH of the vagina.
Except no one really needs a special soap to take care of vaginas. As others have said, normal proper hygiene is enough, and the vagina takes care of itself.
If there’s some odd smell, that’s either a general hygiene problem or a disease, not the lack of use of intimate soaps.
They have actually tried to try and get money from men too, by selling the same product, rebranding them to be masculine and pricing them even higher, also preying on men’s hygiene and sexual insecurities.
It totally doesn’t do anything in terms of hygiene.
I’m a guy and I do buy the women’s version. Specifically the minty one.
Why?
Not for hygiene, but because they feel nice. It’s like having AC in your boxers for about half the day. It’s a luxury for me and I don’t need it and neither does anyone. I just need soap and water to keep my balls clean.
