Femfresh, a female hygiene product has been launched in Accra to help women improve on their personal hygiene.
The Femfresh range comprising wipes, intimate wash, talc-free powder, deodorant and body wash for general use is specially formulated for intimate feminine use and each product gently deodorises and refreshes for extra feminine freshness all day long.
The deputy Minister of health, Dr Mrs Gladys Norley Ashitey, who launched the product together with the Deputy British High Commissioner, Mrs Menna Rawlings, advised women not to use unorthodox feminine hygiene products in cleansing their intimate parts.
She said it was important that women make wise decisions when it came to their intimate health by choosing products that were balanced in terms of acidity to avoid unnecessary irritations to their intimate parts.
The Chief Executive Officer of All Pharma Ghana, Mr Patrick Karikari said everyday use of the product as part of one’s personal freshness routine will help women feel dry, fresh and confident.
Femfresh cautioned that the products should not be used to cure already existing conditions affecting women such as offensive vagina odours or infections but rather could be used to prevent such conditions.
He said the product had been dermatologically and gynaecologically tested and approved for intimate feminine use.
The product which is made in the UK is being marketed in Ghana by All Pharma (GH) Limited, a subsidiary of Allipharma UK Limited.
