Here ya go, female hygeine 101 :
_______________________
Avoid wearing tight fitting clothing like jeans and pantyhose and underwear made from synthetic fibres. This creates a moist, warm environment which encourages the growth of Candida.
Remove wet or damp bathing suits immediately after swimming.
Avoid douching, soaps, bubble baths and bath salts and perfumed toilet paper.
Wipe from front to back when going to the toilet.
Change underwear daily.
Wash underwear in hot water (to destroy fungi) and double rinse (to remove any irritating detergent).
Maintain a strong immune system by getting adequate nutrition and sleep, not smoking and managing stress levels through the use of massage, yoga, relaxation, meditation, Tai chi or regular exercise.
If prescribed antibiotics for a health complaint, ask the doctor about also taking anti-fungal preparations in combination as a preventative measure.
