It is best to expose them to the sun to facilitate sterilization and disinfection. Because towels are not exposed to sunlight for a long time, they are prone to breed bacteria and fungi.

2. Wash the vulva with warm water. When soap must be used, choose less irritating baby bath soap to reduce irritation to the skin.

3. Clean after defecation. After defecation, wipe clean from front to back with toilet paper, and it is best to develop the habit of washing or flushing the anus with warm water. If it is not wiped clean, fecal stains will remain at the anus and contaminate the underwear. The intestinal bacteria contained in the feces stains will take the opportunity to enter the vagina and cause inflammation.
