💡 Best Practices for Healthy Intimate Hygiene
| Habit | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Rinse with clean water after bathing or sweating | Reduces irritation without disrupting natural flora |
| Wear breathable cotton underwear | Minimizes moisture buildup |
| Avoid scented wipes, sprays, and douches | Protects the vaginal microbiome |
