1. Clean the vulva daily: Mild soap, warm water. Avoid harsh products. Change underwear daily; wash in hot water.
2. Dry thoroughly: Prevents bacterial/yeast growth.
3. Change menstrual products regularly: Tampons/pads every 4–8 hours.
4. Wear cotton underwear: Breathable, keeps area dry. Avoid tight synthetics.
5. Practice safe sex: Condoms prevent STIs. Regular STI testing if multiple partners.
6. Wipe front to back: Prevents bacterial transfer to vagina.
