Being a woman is one tough role to play. But it’s also one of the biggest blessings there is. That being said, we are required to take care of ourselves tenfold because of the many changes and sensitivities we and our bodies will go through in our lifetime. And one of the things we should make a habit of is feminine hygiene, something that can be quite hard to understand and manage but ultimately necessary.
As a guide, here are 4 common mistakes to avoid as you practice feminine hygiene.
Frequent use of non-breathable underwear.
Silk and lacy underwear can give a big boost to one’s confidence. However, wearing these kinds of undergarments often can lead to the growth of yeast and bacteria on the nether regions and cause infection. To prevent this, opt for cotton underwear that keeps your lady parts cool and dry no matter how hot the weather gets.
Infrequent changing of sanitary pad.
A light menstrual flow doesn’t mean you can just use one sanitary pad throughout the day, as only encourages bacterial growth. Get rid of this unhealthy habit by ensuring you change your pads every 3-4 hours no matter where you are on your cycle.
Wiping too roughly.
Cleaning up after ourselves is a good habit that we should all maintain. However, doing so with rough wiping isn’t the best technique as this can lead to irritations. Instead, use gentle dabbing motions with a tissue paper as your lady parts are very sensitive.
Using the wrong feminine wash.
Our private parts are may not always be exposed but washing it as much as the rest of our body with the right cleanser is just as necessary. This will not only prevent any infection from happening, it will also ensure the pH balance of the vaginal area.
