Most women never think twice about reaching into their drawer and pulling out a pair of underwear in the morning. It's automatic — like brushing your teeth or pouring coffee. But the choice sitting quietly in that drawer has more bearing on your vaginal comfort and health than you might expect.

For years, the beauty aisle told women one very clear story: to be clean, you need products. Lots of them. Feminine washes, scented wipes, douching kits, deodorising sprays — entire product categories built on the idea that the female body, left to its own devices, is somehow insufficient.

Every woman alive today carries within her body a rhythm that has been beating since the first humans walked the earth. It is monthly, cyclical, and entirely ordinary — yet across thousands of years of recorded history, no other biological function has been surrounded by more myth, more…
