How To Avoid Yeast Infections

Here are some tips to avoid yeast infections. A few simple precautions and you can prevent a lot of discomfort and pain.
  • Never keep your wet swimsuit on . Yeast infections flourish in damp conditions. Change your swim suit for a dry one as soon as you can. Not a really good idea to lie in the sun with your wet costume on !
  • Avoid all synthetic materials especially underwear - they are deadly. Use 100% cotton underwear. Also tight clothes are a no -no.
  • Try to avoid wearing pantyhose every day. Another place for infections to flourish
  • Use a hair dryer to gently (and at a low setting) t dry the genital area after a bath or shower. Much more efficient than a towel and much less work !
  • After using the bathroom, always wipe from front to back.
  • Avoid using douches, feminine hygiene sprays, or anything deodorized -- including pads or tampons.
  • Stay away from toilet paper that is colored or even perfumed.
Basically keep it simple, cool and forget synthetic fabrics next to the skin !
