More and more women are getting candid to talk about their sex life and personal hygiene. But still, sexual hygiene isn’t much talked about. In fact, most of the women don’t consider it to be important. Your privies deserve the importance as much as the other parts of your body does.

And trust me, vaginal infections are worse than you can ever imagine. So better safe than sorry. Practice these 5 sexual hygiene practices in your daily life.

1. Never Ever Douche
Douches are openly available in the market. They are nothing but a shower of water that is meant to wash your inner vagina. But it does more harm than good. Cleaning your delicate vagina with a spray of water is never a good idea. Your vagina is self-cleaning and so it cleans itself every once in a while.

2. Use Soap and Water to Wash Your Privates
There are so many sexual hygiene products available nowadays. But no matter what they claim, soap and water are ideal for sexual hygiene. Use lukewarm water and non-perfumed soap. Avoid any perfumed gels or cleansers. All these products will only disturb the natural pH of your vagina and cause infection.

Everyone likes their au naturel look. But it is still recommended to trim your bush occasionally. Too much hair can trap dirt, sweat, and vaginal discharge. Trim your pubic hair to maintain a proper hygiene.

4. Never Hold Your Pee Back
When you pass out urine, your bladder flushes out the bacteria and toxins out of your body. And when you hold back your pee, you accumulate bacteria and toxins in your body. You should also pee after sex so that you can wash away the bacteria that might have entered your privies.

5. Always Wash Front to Back
Sexually active women are more prone to urinary tract infections. Never take UTI’s so easily, as they might aggravate and cause serious kidney infections. Make it a habit of wiping and washing down there from front to back. This is done to make sure that no bacteria from your anus travels up your vagina. Wash your anus at the last so that no bacteria from your anus reach out other parts of your body.
