- Wear clean underwear and change them every day.
- Do not use soaps or vaginal hygiene products to wash the genital area. Clean the vaginal area after each use of the toilet and after urinating with warm water. Washing the vagina with an intimate wash can kill the good bacteria that give way to the infections.
- Always touch the vaginal area after each wash, otherwise irritation may occur. Also keep the area between the legs dry. Use an antiseptic powder to keep the area dry, preferably before using the tampon and after washing the vagina.
- Always wash or clean the genitals from the front to the back. This is important because cleaning in the opposite direction can clear bacteria from the anus to the vagina and open the urethra, causing infection.
- Be sure to wash your hands with warm water and soap after changing your tampon / tampon / menstrual cup.
- Never rinse sanitary napkins and use tampons in the toilet as they can clog the pipe and overflow the toilet. Throw them away and throw them away to avoid infection.
- Wear loose and comfortable clothing instead of jeans or tight clothing during menstruation. This will help circulate the air in sensitive areas and prevent sweating.
