Women's intimate care wipes are personal hygiene products intended for cleansing and maintaining freshness in the intimate area. Typically, they are pH-balanced, hypoallergenic, and suitable for sensitive skin. Their primary function is to offer convenient and gentle cleansing for this area, especially in situations where water and soap are not readily available.
These wipes come in two main categories, medicated and non-medical. Medicated wipes contain therapeutic ingredients such as antibacterials, antifungals, or anti-inflammatories, targeting specific health needs. They are made from materials such as cotton, wool, among others, catering to different age groups, including those aged 10 to 25, 26 to 40, 41 to 55, and over 56. They are distributed through various channels, both online and offline.
