Intimate Well-Being
and Physiological pH
The balance that supports women’s intimate health
The vaginal microbiota is a dynamic ecosystem that plays a key role in intimate well-being. Under balanced conditions (eubiosis), it is predominantly composed of lactobacilli, which contribute to maintaining a naturally acidic pH, generally within the range of 4.0–4.5.
This environment supports the natural mucosal defence mechanisms and creates conditions that are less favourable to the proliferation of Candida spp. and certain opportunistic bacteria.
When this balance is disrupted (dysbiosis), pH tends to increase, lactobacilli may decrease, and recurrent symptoms may occur, with a potential impact on daily comfort.
Why the vaginal microbiota is so important
- It helps maintain the physiological acidic pH, which is unfavourable to the growth of undesirable microorganisms.
- It contributes to the natural protection of the intimate mucosa.
It produces substances such as lactic acid and bacteriocins, which contribute to the balance of the vaginal ecosystem. - It contributes to the biodiversity of the urogenital flora and to intimate well-being throughout the different stages of life.
When the balance is disrupted
Several factors may affect the microbiota and intimate pH:
- Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menstrual cycle, menopause)
- Unsuitable cleansers or products with an excessively high pH
- Sanitary products or materials with low breathability and potential irritant effects
- A diet rich in sugars, yeast-based foods, and fermented beverages
- Stress, prolonged fatigue, and alterations in the intestinal microbiota
Most common symptoms
- An imbalance of the intimate environment may be associated with unpleasant odour, abnormal discharge, itching, burning, dryness, or discomfort during intercourse.
- Under certain conditions, a reduction in lactobacilli and an increase in pH may favour the growth of Candida spp. and opportunistic bacteria, which may also be involved in episodes of urogenital discomfort and recurrent cystitis.
- For this reason, maintaining physiological pH and lactobacillary flora represents a key factor in daily intimate well-being.
A daily adjunct to support intimate balance
This product is neither a PMC, nor a medicinal product, nor a medical device.
It is a functionalised toilet tissue designed as an adjunct to intimate well-being. It supports the maintenance of a physiological pH of approximately 4.0–4.5, thereby promoting an environment compatible with lactobacillary flora and less favourable to the proliferation of Candida spp. and certain bacteria potentially associated with urogenital discomfort.
The probiotic toilet tissue is formulated to support the natural balance
- adjunct to support the maintenance of physiological intimate pH (4.0–4.5)
- promotes an environment compatible with lactobacillary flora
- counteracts conditions favourable to the proliferation of Candida spp.
- helps limit the proliferation of certain opportunistic bacteria in the urogenital area
Selected and functionalized probiotic strains
Functional components completing the formulation
Comprehensive support for women’s intimate well-being
• A targeted strain selection intended to support the balance of lactobacillary flora and contribute to the maintenance of physiological pH.
• A lactobacilli protective system, designed to preserve their stability on the cellulose fibre.
• An adhesion matrix, designed to ensure uniform distribution of the functional components across the tissue substrate.
• A contact-release system designed to facilitate transfer of the functional components during use.
The probiotic toilet tissue acts as a non-medical adjunct: it contributes to maintaining the intimate environment within its physiological pH range, while supporting lactobacillary flora and daily comfort.
