Intimate hygiene is essential in every woman's cleaning routine and is strongly associated with women's health. Unfortunately, there is minimal data available on correct intimate hygiene. : This systematic review was conducted as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Multiple electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science) were searched. We included 33 studies published between 2000 and 2022 that investigated washing habits, various products, underwear preferences, and pubic hair grooming habits among women. A total number of 21 (64%) articles discussed topics associated with washing habits, including douching, washing product usage, and the choice between bathing and showering. Out of 33 articles, 7 (21%) discuss underwear, clothing, and panty liner usage as a feminine, everyday intimate hygiene routine. A total number of 11 (33%) studies included pubic hair removal methods, reasons, and associated complications in their article. The majority of women have basic knowledge about correct intimate hygiene, including showering at least once a day and regularly changing their underwear. Douching remains one of the most popular intimate hygiene habits among women. Pubic hair shaving became the primary preferred grooming method.
私密卫生是每位女性日常清洁的重要环节,与女性健康密切相关。不幸的是,关于正确私密卫生的可用数据极少。本系统评价是按照系统评价与Meta分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)2020指南进行的。检索了多个电子数据库(PubMed、Embase、科学网)。我们纳入了2000年至2022年间发表的33项研究,这些研究调查了女性的清洗习惯、各类产品、内衣偏好以及阴毛修剪习惯。共有21篇(64%)文章讨论了与清洗习惯相关的话题,包括灌洗、洗涤产品使用以及盆浴和淋浴之间的选择。在33篇文章中,有7篇(21%)将内衣、衣物和护垫使用作为女性日常私密卫生习惯进行了讨论。共有11项(33%)研究在文章中纳入了阴毛去除方法、原因及相关并发症。大多数女性对正确的私密卫生有基本认识,包括每天至少淋浴一次并定期更换内衣。灌洗仍是女性中最流行的私密卫生习惯之一。阴毛剃须成为主要的首选修剪方法。
