Summer, water, and infection: Why the most sensitive part of the body deserves extra care in summer

Sun, swimming pools, swimsuits, vacation. Summer promises relaxation and joy. But it is precisely during this time that vaginal infections most often occur – sometimes subtly, other times with unpleasant symptoms that ruin the whole summer. Whether it is itching, discharge, burning, or frequent urination, the cause is usually the same: a disrupted balance of the intimate environment.

The problem is not the water. The problem is what remains in it (or after it). 

What happens to the vaginal mucosa in summer

The vaginal microflora is a sensitive system dependent on temperature, pH, hydration, and the presence of lactobacilli. These protect the vagina from the overgrowth of pathogens and maintain a naturally acidic environment. However, in summer, a whole set of factors comes that disrupt this balance:
    •    chlorinated water dries and changes the pH of the mucous membrane,
    •    wet swimwear material creates the ideal microclimate for the multiplication of bacteria and yeasts
    •    sand and seawater they can cause micro-injuries that weaken the protective barrier,
    •    frequent showering with aggressive gels disrupts the microbiome.

The result is more frequent bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, urethritis, and bladder infections – even in women who otherwise do not have problems.

Summer is not an illness. But it is a strain.

The body functions well when it has time to regenerate. But repeated exposure to chlorine, temperature changes, abrasion, and moisture without the possibility of recovery can overload even a healthy mucous membrane.

Infections are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign that the body did not have the space to recover.

What to do differently?
    •    Do not underestimate drying after bathing – change clothes as soon as you can.
    •    Use mild detergents without perfume and antiseptics.
    •    Avoid tight synthetic underwear in summer.
    •    Pay attention to hydration – mucous membranes need plenty of water just like the skin.
    •    And most importantly: support mucosal regeneration with targeted care.

Light as protection during periods of increased strain

Device MyVibe.Doctor provides a way to actively protect and regenerate the vaginal area, which is under pressure in the summer.
    •    Red light (650 nm) improves blood circulation, restores hydration, and supports tissue regeneration.
    •    Blue light (470 nm) acts antibacterially and helps stabilize pH.
    •    Jemné vibrace activate nerve endings and improve microcirculation.

Summer recommendations

For women who are often in the water (sea, pool, lake) during the summer, it is recommended:
🗓 3× a week 10 minutes of application after bathing (e.g., in the evening after a shower).
⟶ Supports regeneration, reduces the risk of inflammation, faster restoration of balance.

If an infection occurs:
🗓 2× daily for 5–7 days, preferably morning and evening.

The intimate area deserves the same attention as the skin in summer

We protect our skin with sunscreen, our hair from the sun, and our eyes with sunglasses. Yet, we leave the most sensitive tissues in the body unprotected. The vaginal area is not "extra." It is crucial. And when we give it space to regenerate, it will thank us – with health, comfort, and the assurance that we have truly taken care of ourselves.
