Guide to the use of Genit cleansing emulsions

For adults

Cleaning of the genital area in non-circumcised men

Gently pull back the foreskin and apply about 2 ml GenitMEN on the glans, penis shaft and scrotum. Massage briefly, then rinse with lukewarm water and dab dry with a clean cloth without rubbing. The slightly oily feeling that is noticeable after rinsing is normal. Thanks to this invisible protective layer, the skin feels extremely soft throughout the intimate and anal areas. The physiological hydrolipid barrier of the skin is a natural defense against sweat, bacteria, fungi, viruses and detergent residues in clothing.

What do I need to consider when shaving my genitals?

For more and more men nowadays intimate shaving or hair removal in the intimate area is part of their life. From a hygienic point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. However, shaving can irritate the skin, the hair roots can become inflamed and the hair can grow in. GENIT® products are suitable for the care of sensitive skin in the intimate area during hair removal or shaving. Dry shaving is not recommended for the intimate zone because it puts too much strain on the skin.

Depilatory creams are not recommended because they can cause irritation or allergies. In the intimate area, for example, a wet shave is possible under the shower or in the bathtub with a fresh razor blade and the mild washing lotion from GENIT® (instead of shaving cream or similar). It should always be shaved gently in the direction of hair growth.

Taboo subject anal region

Zur täglichen Intimpflege gehört natürlich auch der Analbereich. Das ist immer noch ein Tabuthema – viele Menschen trauen sich trotz Juckreiz, Brennen oder Schmerzen nicht zum Arzt. Eine völlig unbegründete Angst: Erkrankungen der Analregion kommen sehr häufig vor und sind für den behandelnden Arzt tägliche Routine.

Bei der täglichen Hygiene solltest Du folgendes wissen: Die Haut im Bereich des Afters ist besonders empfindlich und mit einem pH-Wert von etwa 5 leicht sauer. Handelsübliche Seifen können die Haut austrocknen. Eine regelmässige Reinigung mit den speziell für die männliche Intimzone entwickelten GenitMen / GenitPLUS / GenitJUNIOR hilft Dir, damit sich schädliche Bakterien nicht in den Hautfalten am Po festsetzen und zu Infektionen führen.

Nach dem Waschen solltest Du dich mit einem weichen Handtuch gut abtrocknen – trockentupfen, nicht reiben! – und das Handtuch täglich wechseln. Weiches Toilettenpapier schont die Haut zusätzlich. Manche Produkte enthalten Zusätze wie Bleichmittel, Duft- oder Farbstoffe. Sie führen unter Umständen zu Reizungen oder allergischen Reaktionen. Auch bei feuchtem Toilettenpapier kann das der Fall sein. Hierfür bieten wir explizit für den Mann, Kinder und Jugendliche die zarten Feuchttücher GenitWIPE für den gesamten Genitalbereich. Achte ausserdem darauf, von vorne nach hinten zu wischen und nicht zu stark zu reiben. Mehr erfahren.

For children and adolescents

Cleaning the genital area of children and adolescents

Gently pull back the foreskin and apply about 2 ml of GenitJUNIOR to the glans, penis shaft and scrotum. Massage for one minute and rinse with lukewarm water. Then pat dry with a clean cloth without rubbing. The slightly oily feeling that is noticeable after rinsing is normal. Thanks to the invisible protective film, the skin in the entire (anal and) intimate area feels extremely soft. In case of resistance to the retraction of the foreskin (physiological in children), do not apply pressure, but apply a small amount of GenitJUNIOR to the space between the glans and the foreskin. Massage gently and rinse under running water. Then pat dry with a clean cloth without rubbing.

Knowledge

Smegma

How is smegma formed?

Diese hellgelbe Substanz entsteht zwischen Eichel und Vorhaut. Sie besteht aus einem Sekret der Talgdrüsen, Hautschüppchen, Bakterien, Urin- und Spermaresten. Wird es nicht entfernt, kann es Entzündungen und sogar Peniskrebs begünstigen. Ist die Vorhaut zurückgezogen, lässt sich die Eichel mit der GENIT®-Produktlinie mit warmem Wasser mühelos reinigen. Auch die Hoden solltest Du mit der GENIT® Reinigungs-Emulsion ebenfalls waschen. Mehr erfahren.

How to remove smegma during intimate care?

Bei der Intimhygiene ist es ausserdem wichtig, dass Du das sogenannte Smegma regelmässig entfernst – dabei handelt es sich um eine weisse beziehungsweise hellgelbe Substanz zwischen Vorhaut und Eichel. Schiebe deshalb bei der Intimhygiene immer die Vorhaut zurück. Es ist wichtig, dass das Smegma nicht auf der Haut verbleibt, sonst drohen Entzündungen und Infektionen. Mehr erfahren.

Can smegma make you sick?

Ja. Die Substanz ist ein idealer Nährboden für Bakterien. Sie können zu Entzündungen des Penis und der Harnröhre führen. Die Entzündungen können das Risiko für Krebs, das so genannte Peniskarzinom, erhöhen. Liegt durch etwaige HP-Viren im Smegma eine virale Infektion vor, kann sich auch die Partnerin ♂♀ / der Partner ♂♂ anstecken. Der unangenehme Geruch und die unschöne Optik sollten also nicht die einzigen Gründe für die tägliche Intimhygiene sein – schliesslich kann sie im Extremfall Deine Gesundheit und die Beziehung retten. Mehr erfahren.

How to prevent the development of smegma?

Die wichtigste Regel: Tägliche Intimreinigung! Dafür ziehen Sie – am besten unter der Dusche – die Vorhaut so weit es geht zurück. Nun schenken Sie bei der Reinigung besonders der Ansatzstelle zwischen Vorhaut und Eichel volle Aufmerksamkeit. Dazu verwendesr Du die GENIT-Produkte mit lauwarmem Wasser, das reinigt besser als kaltes. Wasser allein reicht jedoch nicht aus. Mehr erfahren.

Foreskin constriction

What is meant by a foreskin stenosis?

Foreskin stenosis (phimosis) is an abnormality of the outer ring of the foreskin covering the glans of the penis seen in many boys and a few men. In the vast majority of cases, this mostly harmless abnormality is of a merely temporary nature. As a rule, no medical intervention is required for foreskin stenosis.

Foreskin stenosis must be distinguished from the very common foreskin adhesion (physiological phimosis), which is often confused with it and in which the inner foreskin leaf sticks to the glans as a result of developmental processes. Physiological phimosis usually resolves before the age of six. Use GenitJUNIOR for your super-hero as an accompanying and helpful intimate cleansing.

Those who suffer from foreskin constriction can only retract it with pain or not at all. However, a so-called foreskin adhesion (physiological phimosis) exists in every child. Only when the foreskin still cannot be retracted between the ages of three and five is it said to be pathological phimosis. In addition, complaints such as scars, inflammation or pain can also occur.

Balanitis & Posthitis

How can foreskin inflammation and acorn inflammation be treated?

Thanks to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory action, Genit can relieve symptoms of foreskin inflammation & acorn inflammation and prevent recurrence of these inflammations after successful treatment.

Product

What is GENIT®?

GENIT® is an oil-based cleansing emulsion whose innovative formula is composed of natural ingredients. It allows the physiology and specificity of the male genital area to be taken into account at all stages of development. As a cleansing emulsion, GENIT® is neutral in terms of pH, which tends to be more alkaline in men / children / adolescents than in women. It is suitable for cleaning the penis, scrotum and anus. For correct use, GENIT® oil-based cleansing emulsion is applied to dry (mucus) skin, followed by a light massage and then rinsing of the genital area.

Intimate care made to measure: simple and effective

When it comes to intimate care, two main mistakes are observed: washing too much or too little. The right thing to do is to clean the genital area thoroughly once a day and to change underwear daily.

Too frequent washing and showering, possibly with unsuitable soaps or shower gels, can attack the protective acid mantle of the skin, especially in the sensitive male genital area. This in turn affects the natural germ flora, making it easier for harmful bacteria and fungi to grow.

Intimate deodorants or sprays are also not necessary. Sometimes they even cause problems. Perfumes can cause allergies. Sometimes a bad smell develops instead of the hoped-for fresh scent.

How to properly wash and care for your intimate area as a man, we describe on our advice page.
