Change pads or sanitary products often to prevent infections. If you have a heavy flow, change more often. Keep your supplies handy when you’re away from home. (Pic: Pixabay)
Use organic sanitary products as these don’t contain plastic and chemicals and therefore reduce chances of skin irritation, allergies and rashes. (Pic: Pixabay)
The vagina is very sensitive, avoid using perfumed soaps, gels, and antiseptics. These can affect the healthy balance of bacteria causing irritation etc. (Pic: Pixabay)
