Avoid douching. Douching changes the normal acid level of the vagina and causes inflammation, both of which may increase the risk of infection.
Try not to use scented laundry soap, bleach or fabric softeners. Chemicals in scented laundry soap can cause yeast infections. Bleach in your clothes may harm the friendly bacteria that stop
Candida from taking over. Also, fabric softeners stop moisture from escaping, keeping the skin damp and more likely for yeast to grow.
Avoid tight clothes that block air flow.
Wear cotton underwear, as it lets air in and moisture out.
Avoid washing the vaginal area with deodorant, scented soaps, or bubble baths.
Try a non-soap cleanser that is less likely to irritate the vaginal area if yeast infections are a problem for you.
