How does a girl maintain genital hygiene?
It is very important to wash the pubic area with soap and water during a daily bath. The folds of skin – the labia minora and labia majora – must also be cleaned, as secretions tend to collect there. After passing fecal matter, always wipe from the front to the back, so as to prevent the vagina from being infected. Some people think the hair should not be washed during menstruation. This is entirely baseless – a woman can wash her hair whenever she wants to.
