undergarment so that it covers the mons pubis in front of the anterior labia commissure of a female user, without covering any part of the vulval vestibule area of the user, wherein the veil has a longitudinal central line extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, and wherein the veil includes a front edge and first and second side edges, and a main portion, the main portion preferably being reflection symmetric about the longitudinal central line, and wherein the veil includes a garment facing layer arranged on a garment facing side of the veil, and a space creating layer arranged on a skin contacting side of the veil, and the veil further comprises an additive composition in the form of a skin well-being agent or a carrier substance carrying a skin well-being agent. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An intimate skin conditioner veil configured to be positioned in an undergarment so that the veil covers a mons pubis in front of an anterior labia commissure of a female user, without

0-2 times a weight of the veil, the veil has a longitudinal central line extending in the longitudinal direction of the veil, and a first extension in the longitudinal direction, between a front end and a rear end of the veil, and a second extension in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal central line, the veil comprises a front edge and first and second side edges, the front edge intersects the first side edge at a first front transition point and intersects the second side edge at a second front transition point, the veil further comprises a main portion having a length (L1) in the longitudinal direction of the veil, the veil has a total longitudinal length (L2), the length (L1) of the main portion being at least 50% of the total longitudinal length (L2) of the veil, wherein the main portion is bounded by a straight front transversal line between the first and second front transition points and by the first and second side edges, and tapers towards the rear end of the veil, the veil has a garment facing side and a skin contacting side, the garment facing side and the skin contacting side face away from one another, and the veil comprises a garment facing layer arranged on the garment facing side of the veil, and a space creating layer arranged on the skin contacting side of the veil, the veil further comprises an additive composition in the form of either: a skin well-being agent; or the skin well-being agent and a carrier substance carrying the skin well-being agent, and the additive composition comprising the skin well-being agent is comprised in a loft layer or a loft portion of the space creating layer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The intimate skin conditioner veil of claim 1, wherein the additive composition comprises at least one agent selected from the group consisting of a skin softening agent, a hydrating agent, a cooling agent, a pH regulating agent, a nourishing agent, and a replenishing agent. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The
