d. In what ways can the vulva be kept healthy?

• Practice good hygiene: Wash daily with warm water and a mild, unscented soap, or just water. Avoid harsh soaps, douches, and scented products.
• Wear breathable underwear: Choose cotton underwear to allow air circulation and reduce moisture buildup.
• Wipe from front to back: This prevents bacteria from the anus from entering the vagina or urethra.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain overall bodily health, including the mucous membranes.
• Avoid tight clothing: Tight clothing can trap moisture and heat, creating an environment for infections.
