At-Home Vajacial: A Calm Self-Care Ritual

A “vajacial” is simply a self-care ritual for the external intimate area: a gentle cleanse, an optional warm herbal steam and a light, fragrant oil. It is a way to slow down and care for yourself, not a medical treatment. Here is how to do it at home, calmly and safely.

Our yoni care products are made with botanicals like rose, lavender and aloe vera for a soft, clean, cared-for feeling. They are cosmetic products for external use only.

Step 1: Cleanse With a Gentle Gel Wash

Start with a mild wash made for the delicate external skin of the intimate area. Our Rose Yoni Gel Wash is a gentle, rose-scented botanical gel that helps you feel clean and fresh.

1. Wash your hands well.
2. Lather a small amount of gel wash in your hand.
3. Gently cleanse the external area only, without harsh rubbing.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean, soft towel.

The vagina cleans itself naturally, so washes are for the outside only. Never use them internally.

Step 2: Relax With a Warm Herbal Steam (Optional)

Yoni steaming is a traditional self-care practice, not a medical treatment. Many women enjoy it as a quiet, warm ritual. Our Yoni Steam Herbs give a warm, earthy aroma that many women find relaxing, and our Yoni Steam Kit includes a folding seat to make it easier.

1. Bring water to a boil, add the herbs, and remove from the heat.
2. Let the water cool until the steam feels warm and comfortable, never hot. Test it with your hand first.
3. Sit comfortably over the steam, at a safe distance, for up to 15 to 20 minutes, and stop sooner if you feel any discomfort.
4. Cover your lap with a towel or blanket to hold in the warmth.

Skip the steam if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, are menstruating, have an IUD, have any infection, sore or irritation, or have had recent surgery. Talk with your healthcare provider before trying steaming, and always take care to avoid burns.

Step 3: Finish With a Light Botanical Oil

To finish, our Rose Yoni Oil is an aromatic botanical oil for the external area, used for a soft, moisturized, cared-for feeling.

1. Wash your hands again.
2. Warm a few drops of oil between your fingertips.
3. Gently smooth it over the external area only.
4. Take a few moments to relax and enjoy the scent.

Aftercare

Wear breathable cotton underwear and skip heavily scented products for the rest of the day. Keep things simple: gentle cleansing and comfortable clothing go a long way.

Safety First

• Patch test any new product on your inner arm first.
• Use washes and oils on the external area only.
• Stop if you notice redness, itching or irritation.
• Unusual itching, odor or discharge should be checked by a healthcare professional. Self-care products are not a substitute for medical care.

Choosing Products

Look for gentle, clearly labeled products with simple botanical ingredients, and choose fragrance levels that feel comfortable for your skin.
