Long Live the Punani: Your Guide to Intimate Care That Gets It

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us got the message that our vaginas are problems to be fixed. That they should smell like flowers. That if they’re not completely silent, invisible, and inoffensive at all times—something’s wrong.

The truth?
Your vagina is self-cleaning. It’s complex. It’s resilient. And it’s constantly working to keep you in balance. But the reality is, life gets involved. Sweat, stress, your cycle, hormones, pregnancy, tight jeans, sex—these all shift things. And sometimes, your vulva (a.k.a. the external parts, where a wash would go) just needs a little gentle support.

That’s where the right intimate wash can come in.

But first—what’s actually normal?
Let’s take a moment to remind ourselves:

• Vaginas are not supposed to smell like vanilla cupcakes.

• Discharge? Totally normal. In fact, it’s a sign your body is doing its job.

• And if you’ve ever experienced irritation, dryness, or recurring infections—you’re not alone. You’re also not broken.

The issue isn’t you.
It might be what you’re using.

Why we’re being more intentional about intimate care
So many conventional body washes are way too harsh for the vulva. They’re often packed with fragrances, high pH levels, and ingredients that strip the delicate skin, throwing everything off. You don’t need soap that promises to make you “smell clean.” You need something that respects the balance your body is already trying to maintain.

That’s why more and more of us are swapping out those bubblegum-scented bottles for something that’s… actually made for this area.

What to look for in a vaginal-friendly wash:
✔️ Fragrance-free: Your natural scent is not a flaw. Fragrance = irritation for a lot of people.
✔️ pH-balanced (around 4.5): This is the sweet spot for vaginal health. Anything too high can cause dryness and infections.
✔️ Gentle, minimal ingredients: Think clean, calming, and supportive—not foamy and aggressive.
✔️ Tested & safe: Especially if you’re pregnant or dealing with sensitivities.

Let’s Talk About It: Intimate Care That Actually Respects Your Body

Here’s the thing: your punani is magic. She’s got her own rhythm, her own microbiome, her own mood. And the last thing she needs is a harsh, overly fragranced cleanser messing with her vibe.

Viva La Punani is pH-balanced (4.5 to be exact), fragrance-free, pregnancy-safe, and infused with antioxidant-rich goji berry extract to help cleanse the external area without disrupting your body’s natural balance. It helps remove odour-causing bacteria while keeping things calm, soothed, and confident down there.

This isn’t about shame-cleansing. This is about taking care of you—in a way that’s gentle, respectful, and rooted in science, not stigma.

Because being clean and confident shouldn’t come at the cost of your pH or your peace.

Final thought:
Taking care of your vulva doesn’t mean treating it like it’s dirty or wrong. It means supporting it in the same way you support your skin, your hair, your body. With intention. With care. And without shame.

So, if you’ve been on the fence about using an intimate wash, the real question is:
Does it honour your body—or try to “fix” it?

Intimate care, redefined:

• Wash only the external area (your vulva). Never inside.

• Less is more. If it stings or smells like perfume, it’s a no.

• Support your body’s balance—don’t disrupt it.

• Your Punani is powerful. Care for her like the queen she is.
