Vagina Hygiene Tip: Wipe Front to Back
Always clean from front to back after using the toilet. This simple habit prevents bacteria from the anus from reaching the urethra or vagina.
After rinsing with water, gently pat dry with toilet paper to keep the area clean and dry.
What Happens If You Wipe From Back to Front?
Wiping from back to front can transfer bacteria from the anus directly to the vagina. This increases the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) as well as vaginal infections.
