Female Hygeine Tips In Public: How Women Can Maintain Public Hygeine In Public Restrooms
Public spaces like colleges, malls or markets often don’t offer clean restrooms or hygienic facilities. With a few smart habits, you can stay clean and healthy even on the go. Here is a list of 7 essentials or habits you should follow to prevent infections, rashes or UTIs.
Carry a Hygiene Kit
Always carry a small pouch with hand sanitizer, tissues, sanitary products, extra underwear and intimate wipes. It helps you to be prepared for periods, sweating or long days out.
Use Toilet deat sanitizer or disposable covers
Always sanitize public toilet seats before sitting. Never sit directly on a wet or unclean seat. Disposable seat covers or sprays reduce the risk of infections or UTIs.
Wipe Front to Back
Use soft tissues or intimate wipes (not harsh scented ones). After using the washroom, always wipe front to back to avoid spreading bacteria to the vaginal area.
Change Pads frequently
If you are wearing a pad on your period, change every 3 to 4 hours. Wrap and dispose of used products properly in bins. Do not stay in a damp pad as it can cause rashes or infections.
Wear breathable undergarments
You should always prefer cotton underwear for long days out. They absorb sweat better. Avoid wearing tight synthetic fabrics that trap moisture. If you are prone to sweating, carry an extra pair to change into (if needed).
Use intimate wash (Only if needed)
If you are feeling sweaty or irritated, use an intimate wash when you get home (not in public restrooms). Avoid using harsh or soap products on your vaginal area in public spaces. Your vagina is self cleaning, which is why over washing can actually disrupt its natural balance.
Stay hydrated
Carry a water bottle to stay fresh throughout the day. Drink enough water, even when out, to keep your system flushed. It helps reduce bad odor, UTIs and irritation.
