Is It Safe To Use Feminine Deodorant Sprays While Pregnant?

Marcie Jones Leave a Comment

is it safe to use female deodorant sprays while pregnant?”

It’s not a good idea. Pregnancy makes you more susceptible to imbalances like yeast infections and vaginitis, to begin with, and deodorant sprays also increase your risk. Feminine deodorant sprays are also associated with contact vulvitis, a condition that causes burning, itching, and irritation of the vulva, or external vaginal area. Rinsing your external vaginal area with plain, unsoapy water once or twice a day should be all you need to do to keep clean. If you’re washing with water but notice a foul odor or unusual discharge let your health care provider know, you may have the symptoms of an infection.
