JAKARTA - Confidence is not only about appearances outside or achievements, but also how a person treats himself. Self-love, or loving yourself, is not just a popular term on social media.

This character can come true in simple daily habits, including the courage to take care of the body as a whole even in areas that are often considered taboo.

In Indonesia, conversations about the health of intimate areas are still often seen as taboo and even embarrassing. In fact, by understanding and caring for this part of the body, a person can maintain his health while building healthier relationships with himself and others.

"Elucidation of intimate health is not only about physical aspects, but also how we understand and respect the body and build healthy relationships. Both men and women, all must love themselves, and one form of self-love is by taking care of the body, including intimate areas, appropriately and consistently," explained sexologist dr. Haekal Anshari, M. Biomed (AAM) in a press statement from Bodytalk Playdate to VOI.

With an event like Bodytalk Playdate, the public can more openly discuss and get correct information, so that the stigma related to intimate health can be slowly abolished.

A similar view was also conveyed by dr. Astrid Totaling, Sp.DVE., FINSDV. According to him, sensitive areas require the same serious attention as facial skin.

"The presence of sensitive areas requires special attention, just like facial skin. With the Bodytalk Playdate, it opens up space for everyone to understand more about how to choose a safe and modern product to take care of themselves, especially for problems that often arise in intimate areas that are often a concern," he said.

Discussions on intimate care are now increasingly important to appear in public spaces. It aims not only to remove stigma, but also to be part of wider health literacy. Normalization of intimate area treatments can help the younger generation grow with the understanding that caring for the body, from the ends of the hair to the most sensitive areas, is a tangible form of self-love.

In line with this, various innovations in self-care products are also present to answer the needs of the community. However, more than just products, the most important thing is the awareness that intimate health is a fundamental aspect of overall body health.

As stated by Yurica Iskandar Darmawan, Founder and CEO of MGHIT Indonesia, his party believes that everyone deserves the best intimate treatment, is safe, and can increase self-confidence.

"We are committed to providing modern intimate care solutions that are not only effective but also empowering everyone in Indonesia. We hope that MGHIT can be part of everyone's journey to get to know, love and take care of themselves as a whole," he concluded.
