The mad mix of colours that go into bath bombs includes dye/perfume and we can see how that could lead to discomfort in the vaginal area.
Dr Vanessa Mackay, a spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, also recommends giving the perfumed products a miss.
In conversation with Metro, she explained:
"It’s a good idea to avoid perfumed soaps, gels and antiseptics as these can affect the healthy balance of bacteria and pH levels in the vagina and cause irritation".No one's saying you have to give them up entirely but using them more sparingly might not be the worst idea either.
