Intimate wipes are flourishing on the Togolese market to combat embarrassing odours and perspiration. However, more and more doctors are warning of the dangers of systematic use of wipes. They must not be perfumed or contain alcohol. What's more, they must have a neutral pH. If they are, they can be irritating and cause vaginal burns. Furthermore, they should only be used occasionally, when travelling or during menstruation. Wipes contain active products that remain on the genital tract after use, since you don't rinse afterwards. These products can be irritating.
