Wash Your Hands Regularly<br /><br />Your hands quickly come into contact with germs and microorganisms.<br /><br />Colds, flu, coughing, and Hepatitis A are some of the diseases you can spread with poor hand hygiene.<br /><br />2. Keep Your Hair Clean<br /><br />Bad hair hygiene easily causes lice infestation. To avoid this, condition and shampoo your hair at least 2-3 times a week.<br /><br />3. Bathe Everyday<br /><br />Don't compromise on bathing. Body odor is not attractive in any way.<br /><br />Bathing is especially crucial during our menstrual periods to avoid excessive odor.<br /><br />Ok, you don't have to shower every day, but we think you should. <br /><br />4. Take Care Of Your Lady Parts<br /><br />Though the vagina is a self-cleaning organ, you must regularly clean your intimate region with water or mild and appropriate cleansers.<br /><br />The vagina has sensitive skin, so using cleansers with strong chemicals can irritate it.<br /><br />During menstruation, maintain proper hygiene by using high-quality tampons and pads.<br /><br />5. Do Not Engage in Douching<br /><br />Douching is a practice still used today by up to 40% of American women.

But that's not all, because douching also increases the risk of women getting cervical cancer.<br /><br />A better alternative is to allow clear water to run over your vulva. <br /><br />6. Shave, But Shave Carefully<br /><br />Shaving off the hair down there is the in-thing today, and some consider it fashionable.<br /><br />However, we recommend trimming instead because pubic hair plays a significant role in protecting your labia from abrasions.<br /><br />Some studies show that a full shaving heightens sexual sensation. If you choose a full shave, follow these tips. <br /><br />- Use a clean razor, and do not share razors.<br />- Use a shaving cream because it reduces the friction between the blade and your vulva.<br />- Don't be in a hurry to finish shaving. Rushing can increase the risk of you getting cut.<br />- Shave in the shower, because your pores will open, making the hairs fall off easily.<br />- Avoid getting cuts. Your vulva is not a great place to have a cut related infection.<br /><br />Alternatively, seek the help of a professional for a Brazilian or bikini line waxing. <br /><br />7. Avoid Using Soaps<br /><br />Your vagina is a delicate part of your body and needs the utmost care. Do not fall into the temptation of using soaps to keep it fresh.<br /><br />Some soaps disrupt the pH balance of your vagina by washing away helpful bacteria.<br /><br />Instead, use water to cleanse. Water has a neutral pH balance that keeps good bacteria alive.<br /><br />If necessary, consult a health professional about formulated vaginal cleansers you can use. <br /><br />8.
