The Nu Intimate Health Survival Guide for the Kiwi “summer”
(feat. Nu Balm + Nu Butter)
Ahh, the Kiwi summer. Long, salty swims. Sticky humidity. Road trips, BBQs, backyard cricket, beach cricket, and the annual debate over whether jandals count as “proper shoes” (yes). But while the summer is full of joy, laughter, and jugs of Pimm’s, it can also be a lot for our intimate health.
From soggy togs to friction from wetsuits, from sweaty adventures to spontaneous sex, your body (and your best bits) go through more than you think. So here’s your Nu Intimate Health Survival Guide to keep everything comfortable, supported, and beautifully soothed from now until the last cicada call.
1. Wet togs are prime real estate… for irritation
We all know the rule: change out of wet togs. And yet somehow you end up wearing them for three hours while playing beach cricket, building sandcastles, and debating whether to get an ice cream.
Sitting in damp swimwear can create the perfect environment for irritation, itching, and discomfort. If you’re prone to thrush, bacterial imbalance, or general sensitivity, soggy togs + summer heat = not ideal.
Your Nu solution:
Pat dry (don’t rub) after swimming — your skin will thank you.
Apply Nu Balm as a daily moisturiser to keep vulval skin hydrated and resilient.
Pop a mini pot in your beach bag and reapply after you change into dry clothes to soothe any saltwater sting or dryness.
Why it works: Nu Balm is rich, natural, and melts beautifully into the skin, delivering instant relief and ongoing nourishment.
2. Sweat happens — especially down there
Beach walks, hikes, dancing up a storm, playing with the kids, even just existing on a 29° day… sweat happens. And where there’s sweat, there’s rubbing, chafing, and general “please, not today” moments.
Your Nu solution:
Nu Butter, our everything balm, creates a breathable protective barrier that stops sweat and friction from causing chaos.
Swipe it along your inner thighs, under boobs, between butt cheeks, under arms, and anywhere else your body tends to protest.
It’s perfect for long days at festivals, humid nights, and travel days when showers are… aspirational.
Bonus: It absorbs beautifully and won’t leave you feeling sticky. Only smooth, protected, and happy.
3. Wetsuits, jandals, and summer sports = friction city
Summer adventures mean gear: wetsuits, life jackets, jandals, sandals, running shorts. All of them love to rub in exactly the places you don’t want them to.
Your Nu solution:
Before surfing, paddle boarding, or any watersport, rub Nu Butter anywhere your wetsuit edges meet skin. It’s a game-changer for avoiding those gnarly friction burns.
Use it on heels and toes to prevent jandal blisters.
Keep using it post-surf or post-run to nourish any chafed spots.
If you’re an “I love summer but it doesn’t love me” type, Nu Butter is your best mate.
4. Shaving + salt water = ouchie
A classic summer season combo: shave → swim → regret. Saltwater can sting freshly shaved or waxed skin, and friction adds insult to injury.
Your Nu solution:
After hair removal, apply a thin layer of Nu Balm as a calming, hydrating treatment.
Use it daily (not just post-shave) to keep the skin barrier resilient and less reactive overall.
Your future self floating in the ocean will thank you.
5. Sensational summer sex (…yes, we’re going there)
Something about long warm nights brings out the playful energy — wonderful! But dryness, discomfort, or sensitivity can quickly kill the mood.
Your Nu solution:
Nu Balm is also a natural intimate lubricant: smooth, silky, and body-loving.
It enhances pleasure while supporting delicate skin — no synthetic nasties, no irritation, just smooth, sensual goodness.
Whether it’s with a long-term lover or a holiday fling, your best bits deserve comfort and pleasure without compromise.
6. When your skin is doing “too much”
Between sun, chlorine, sweat, ocean, sand, heat rash, and general chaos, summer skin can go rogue.
Your Nu solution:
Nu Butter is your pocket-sized superhero: dry bits, sore bits, sun-kissed bits, chafed bits, grazed bits… all sorted.
Use it on kids, partners, grandparents — any body, anywhere.
It’s the everything balm that fixes things you didn’t even know needed fixing.
7. The daily routine that keeps your intimate health happy
A simple holiday-season ritual:
Apply Nu Balm daily to keep vulval skin nourished, balanced, and supported.
Keep Nu Butter in your bag for any rubbing, chafing, dryness, or unexpected skin SOS moments.
Change out of wet togs as soon as you can (we know… we know).
Stay hydrated and wear breathable cotton underwear whenever you’re not swimming.
These tiny habits make a huge difference in comfort.
Make this the summer your intimate health thrives
The summer season is for fun, togetherness, and making memories — not dealing with discomfort, irritation, or avoiding activities because your skin is having a meltdown.
Nu Balm keeps your best bits happy, hydrated, and ready for anything.
Nu Butter keeps the rest of you protected, soothed, and adventure-proof.
Pack them in your beach bag, glove box, and any bag for that matter — trust us, they become non-negotiables fast!
Here’s to a Kiwi summer finding you soon!
