&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Keep it clean!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Make sure to properly and daily wash your sensitive area with warm water. Soap can be optional, however; avoid using scented soap, special scrubs, and douching to avoid irritation and infection even if the label says it is for genital care.&amp;nbsp;Hypoallergenic soaps can be used to wash the external part of your genitals, and it is advised to not wash the internal part to prevent disrupting the pH balance that usually causes infection. After washing or using the toilet, always wipe the front and then the back part.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot; start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wear Comfortable Clothes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Always choose comfort over fashion. Wear clothes that are comfortable for your genitals &amp;ndash; comfy enough for it to breathe and stay dry. Moisture fosters bacterial growth including yeast infection. Avoid tight-fit clothing, and change your underwear daily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot; start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Practice clean and protected s3x&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re planning to have a steamy night under the sheets with your partner, make sure to check the substances of the rubbers and lubes you will use. Stay away from products with ingredients like dyes, glycerin, parabens, petroleum products, flavors, artificial scents, and non-natural oils. These chemical products may throw off your pH balance and lead to vaginal irritation. Most rubbers contain spermicides that destroy the good bacteria inside your vagina &amp;ndash; they also contribute to infection, avoid them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When doing sexual intercourse, switching from anal to vaginal sex may transport bacteria from the anus to the vagina, and vice versa. In doing so, always use a separate and new rubber to prevent the acquisition of bacterial infection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;After the sensual activity, when the steam has been blown off, make it a practice to urinate. In this manner, you are discharging any presence of bacteria inside you. Don&amp;rsquo;t forget to shower and clean with warm water afterward.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;To shave or not to shave is totally your choice. However, shaving can cause itching, redness, and even burning. It may also lead to ingrown hair. Some cuts and wounds from shaving also come with foul odor from being infected. Meanwhile, pubic hair protects the organ from viruses and bacteria as it serves as a protective shield of the skin from friction during intercourse. Some women prefer to clean their pubic hair through shaving, waxing, or electrolysis; while others prefer to trim it with scissors. Whichever you prefer, the choice is yours to make.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
