Intimate care

Intimate care refers to the care of the genital and anal area and, depending on individual needs, includes hygiene, hair care, and physical well-being. This may involve washing, shaving, trimming, or other forms of grooming. What feels appropriate or comfortable varies from person to person.

It is important not to confuse intimate care with social beauty standards. There is no universal requirement to shave or remove body hair. Personal care should be hygienic, gentle, and adapted to the individual situation; if irritation or uncertainty occurs, medical advice can be helpful.
