Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is pH balance important in an intimate wash?

A: The healthy vaginal environment maintains a naturally acidic pH of approximately 3.8–4.5 — a protective pH that inhibits the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and Candida. Regular soaps and body washes are typically alkaline (pH 7–9), which disrupts this natural pH balance, potentially promoting thrush and bacterial vaginosis. A pH-balanced intimate wash maintains the acidic protective environment while providing effective cleansing.

Q: How often should I use Kolorex Vaginal Care Wash?

A: Kolorex Vaginal Care Wash is gentle enough for daily use as part of regular intimate hygiene. Use externally to cleanse the vulval area — do not use internally (inside the vagina). During active thrush episodes or in periods of increased susceptibility, consistent daily use alongside the Kolorex Cream provides comprehensive external intimate care.

Q: Can I use Kolorex Vaginal Wash as my regular everyday intimate cleanser?

A: Yes — the gentle pH-balanced formula is suitable for regular daily use as an everyday intimate wash to replace regular soap on the vulval area. Ongoing daily use helps maintain the correct pH balance of intimate skin, which may reduce the frequency of thrush recurrence in women prone to Candida overgrowth.

Q: Is Kolorex Vaginal Care Wash safe during pregnancy?

A: Always consult your midwife or doctor before introducing new intimate care products during pregnancy. While Kolorex is formulated for gentle intimate use, any new topical product in the intimate area should be discussed with your healthcare provider during pregnancy. Our pharmacist can advise on safe intimate hygiene options for pregnant women.
