The use of chemicals and preservatives in feminine wipes is expected to hinder the market growth. The theory that a vagina is self-cleansing and so it does not require intimate wipes to keep it clean hinders the market growth. Intimate wipes often contain high levels of lactic acid and other chemicals which may disrupt the natural pH levels causing issues for your intimate areas. They induce a 3.5 times higher risk of bacterial infections and UTIs owing to the presence of chemicals and parabens in them. Additionally, the lack of awareness in the underdeveloped areas is anticipated to hamper the market growth. The topic of vaginal health is still considered taboo in many regions of the world and so a lack of awareness of this can cause a scarcity of hygiene products.
