A good and simple way to practice good feminine hygiene is to clean your intimate area with clean water and mild soap regularly. After going to the bathroom, wipe from front to back to avoid spreading bacteria from your anus to your vagina. Avoid heavily perfumed soaps or shower gels-these can sometimes irritate the delicate skin around your vagina. Remember, if you're taking antibiotics, vaginal infections are more likely to occur. Wearing a cotton pant is better than a nylon pant during period. Using a pad during your period can help you have good hygiene-try to change your pad every 6-8 hours.
