Why would you need to update your feminine care during pregnancy?
Just like every other aspect of your life is about to change, so should your skincare and feminine care regimen.

You will quickly realize that you’ll need to pay closer attention to your feminine hygiene than ever before if you want to keep your honeypot happy and healthy!
We chatted with the Co-Founder of The Honey Pot.Co to get some tips and information to help guide you in creating a pregnancy-safe feminine care routine:
- Seek out a lightweight, gentle cleansing wash that is free from parabens, sulfates, dyes and artificial fragrance. In addition to the major fluctuations that are occurring internally, you will want to ensure you are not introducing potentially harmful ingredients to your precious baby in utero.
- Keep a pack of feminine wipes handy for those moments when you need to freshen up fast.
- Avoid processed foods, sugar and fried foods as these can contribute to frequent yeast and bacterial infections.
- Wear basic cotton underwear only and avoid thongs, g-strings and other tight undergarments as they can contribute to yeast and bacterial infections throughout your pregnancy.
Most importantly, you don't have to compromise to feel clean. The Honey Pot Co. Mommy-to-Be hygiene products include maternity sanitary pads and a feminine wash for pregnant women so you can balance your pH, banish bacteria, and calm discomfort, without worrying about chemicals, toxins or artificial fragrance that you want to avoid during pregnancy.
