Personal Hygiene Tips For Women by Nobody: 11:56pm On Aug 02, 2017
Personal hygiene for women is all the more important. Women’s health issues keep getting swept under the carpet because they are careless. You may be a busy working woman or a happy housewife, no one really takes their health issues seriously. Certain personal hygiene tips for women are thus helpful to make them stay healthy.Personal hygiene is something that we do not always follow strictly. The reason is simple; it is private and no one will know if we break a few rules. However, some personal hygiene tips for women can help them avoid minor illness. Women are essentially prone to certain infections like UTI and yeast infection. These infections are often a result of not following basic genital hygiene.Here are some personal hygiene tips for women.

Personal hygiene tips for women are:

1.Wash After Urinating: Every time you pass urine, there is chance of developing infection. The uric acid from the urine remains in the few left over drops. So wash your genitals with water and then wipe it dry with toilet paper.

2.Keep Pelvic Region Shaved: Pelvic hair is the cause of many infections. So shave off pelvic hair regularly. It is not a cosmetic but health prerogative.

3.Change Underwear Regularly: You need to change your underwear at least twice daily. Wearing the same underwear for a long time make it soggy and dampness is a storehouse of infections.

4.Use Panty Liners: When you are having increased vaginal discharge (during ovulation) use panty liners. They are not as thick as pads but they absorb the discharge instantly.

5.Change Pads Every 4 hours: No matter how little you bleed during your menstruation, you need to change pads every 4 hours on all 5 days. This is to ensure that the stale blood doesn’t cause any vaginal infection.

6.Keep Armpits Shaved: Armpit hair is the main cause of body odour. So keep your armpits clean. It also prevents sweaty armpits.

7.Wash After Intercourse: Once you are sexually active, you have opened yourself up to many sexually transmitted infections. So always wash your genitals with an antiseptic soap after you get intimate.

8.Don’t Hold Back Urine: You must not hold back pee when you feel the urge to urinate. This is very bad for your kidneys. And it also makes you prone to urinary infections.

9.Don’t Wear Tight Bras: Many women make the mistake of wearing the wrong size of bra. Tight bras are extremely unhealthy for you. They can even lead to tumors and cause blood circulation problems. If you have skin rashes, it might be due to tight bras.

These are the personal hygiene tips for women.

I will never touch any girl that doesn't shave, i don't mean trimming, i mean clean shaven

A vagina will always smell like a vagina no matter how many times you wash it

A clean vagina smells and tastes like an open fresh wound or flesh

If you see the girl i wanted to have sex with yesterday,
she's an Angel, very beautiful but her vagina smells like rotten elephant and bad decisions

Omg ladies please don't wash your v*gina with antiseptic soap, this is very bad advice. This can offset the pH of your vagina and lead to yeast infections or kill off good bacteria and lead to bacteria vaginosis (fish smell). You can wash your outer labia with a mild soap but your vagina requires only water (yes only water). No need to put your fingers inside to wash, a healthy v*gina is a self cleaning organ. If you notice any smell or excessive discharge see your doctor (not chemist) to treat it instead of masking it with soaps and douching, untreated infections can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. These companies like summer's eve prey on our insecurities to sell all these products that we don't need. Please don't use antiseptic soap after sex undecided undecided undecided undecided

point 7

It is not advisable to use soap to wash down there
Antiseptic especially.

The vagina is a self-cleaning oven. The vagina has it’s own pH level, so it’s supposed to be acidic [and the level should be] no less than 4.5. When we start adding all of the antibacterial soap what happens is you kill off the bacteria that is supposed to be there that creates the eco-system for the vagina and controls the acidity. When you destroy the normal pH of the vagina then you now have vaginal dryness and you’ve allowed yeast and bacterial vaginosis to overgrow, which of course creates discomfort and in a lot of cases odor.

Just use clean water.
