Whether you are preparing for intimacy or just want to feel fresh, all you need to do is come up with a routine that suits your lifestyle. You owe it your lady parts to keep them in good condition. Heat, humidity, clingy, and wet air can be miserable and uncomfortable for your lady parts.  Luckily, Here are as many techniques and products that allow you to properly care for your lady parts and to remain comfortable and fresh down there all the time.

Avoid tight pants or undies

Avoid pants, shorts, and undies that are very tight fitting around the lady parts, as well as sitting around in a tight wet bathing suit for long. This can promote vaginal infections and medical practitioners advise loose, roomy, and dry pants.

Wear cotton undies

underparts are a critical effort to maintain freshness down there and cotton undies are the best. They have natural fibers that can taper moisture away from the skin and are breathable while as materials like silk and satin may be slinkier and sexier thus trap moisture which creates a breeding ground for bacteria and infection.  

Keep off thongs as they incur friction and can keep the lady parts from being fresh and comfortable. 

You don't want the area to sweat as yeast likes to grow in an area that's moist.

                                                                                   

Go commando

It is recommended going commando when sleeping as it lowers your skin temperature and increases the depth and quality of your sleep.   You can go commando when wearing a long tee and boy shorts, a nightgown, or even light linen PJs.

Moisturize

Moisturizing the area is advised but be careful what you use. For instance, intimate skin requires special moisturizing. Facial or body moisturizers cause irritation and discomfort when applied to the delicate skin of the outer vaginal area. 

Therefore, you should keep the area carefully lubricated to avoid dryness and irritation with products specifically formulated for this area. 

Use the area's specific wipes

Exfoliate

Also, shave at night while your body has time to recover from any trauma and you can banish the residual discomfort or itch from razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or other general irritation by exfoliating. 

Use a gentle exfoliant that not only keeps the dirt away but also polishes then follow that up with a moisturizer for an incredible, no in-grown hair, irritation free shaving experience,  that is specific for this delicate area. 

Rinse after a workout

A quick shower after a heavy workout prevents bacterial counts from getting out of hand. Bacteria love a more warm, wet environments you create and the higher your rate will be of contracting staph and strep on your skin's surface. Rinse and towel off in order to get fresh.

Don't wear a wet swimsuit long after leaving the pool

Always get out of your wet swimsuit as soon as possible and shower immediately if you can to avoid the smell of your vagina which changes due to the sweat and heat. This acts as a breeding ground for yeast and can create complications. 

Wash carefully and specifically

Careful washing of your private parts is essential, as well as not using heavily fragranced soaps or harsh cleansers in the region. You need to wash with care in the armpits, as well as the pubic area where apocrine glands are found and secrete a sweat that, when combined with skin bacteria can lead to body odor. Keep the area clean to reduce bacteria that can lead to malodor  

However, do not wash your vagina with harsh, fragranced soaps as it can lead to irritant dermatitis and even contact allergies Also, do not wash inside the vagina or vaginal canal as it has a natural, self-cleansing mechanism.

Use coconut oil and corn starch

Coconut oil is a miracle ingredient and perfect for lady parts.It is calming, soft and soothing. You can use it on your arms, legs and in the pubic region as a natural moisturizer which is absorbed into the body and does not harm the body rather sits on top of the skin like other oils.

Also using natural corn starch can lessen the way sweaty thighs sometimes stick together. Use a clean makeup brush to apply a thin layer of cornstarch on dry inner thighs to help eliminate sweaty drag. 

Try yogurt masks

Masks aren't just for the face and breasts but also another way to care for lady parts. Natural, plain, sugar-free yogurt is recommended as a mask for your lady parts as it softens and conditions your skin and hair down there. It can help repair the bacterial and pH balance in this area which leads to yeast infections." 

Change pads and tampons often

Always change menstrual protection products more often when it's hot and muggy out as bacteria builds with heat and moisture." 

Although most people change pads or tampons regularly when the flow is at its heaviest, it's best to keep that routine going even if your period is running dry or you are on the last day of your cycle.
