Hi Friends,
I am going to review a product which had sparked lot of controversies after its launch in the market in India i.e. Clean and Dry Intimate Wash. This controversy made me read more about it. However bold and beautiful we may be, we always feel shy to discuss intimate issues and has been even considered as taboo. Hence, the brands have found a key to cash our insecurities.

Final Verdict:
In spite of maintaining hygiene, sometimes we encounter irritation and itchiness in our private areas. When I asked my doctor, whether one really needs to use intimate washes or not, she had suggested that for healthy people it is not needed as our body takes care of our intimate region but under some medical conditions doctors does recommend it. But I had already purchased it and was using it regularly. This wash cleanses well and one does not feel any irritation for whole day. But since my doctor said it is not needed I stopped using it and use it whenever I feel irritation. Pregnant lady should consult their gynaecologist before using this product.I will personally suggest everyone, please ask your doctor before purchasing such intimate washes of any brand. Recently, foam wash has been launched with slight change in its composition.
After launch of this product, I have noticed sudden bombardment of similar washes into the market. Now, the same product is come up with foam wash. It’s worldwide known fact that we Indians are obsessed with fair skin. According to market researchers, India’s whitening cream market was worth $432 million. Kindly read these: Article1 Article2 Article3 Article4 to understand where we stand. Actually it’s also the problem with our society and our own culture who gives more importance to fairness of the skin. I am sure each one of you must have encountered or seen such situations. More than having a fair skin in intimate region we should pay attention to our hygiene and overall health. The more we obsess for fair skin, the more marketers will come with such gimmicks. Let us have better thoughts now or else we will pass the fair skin obsession to our younger generations also.
My Rating: 2.5/5
Disclaimer:Pregnant/Nursing women and women trying to conceive should consult your gynaecologist before using this product as there many skin irritants present in the formula.
