Vaginal Yeast Infection - Prevention

To prevent getting these infections, you should make sure to keep your genital area as dry as possible and let it “breathe.” Tips:

Wear cotton (not nylon) underwear, and avoid tight-fitting pants and panty hose.
Change out of a wet swimsuit right away.
Avoid douches (vaginal washing with water or special solution) and feminine sprays, scented toilet paper, and deodorant tampons.
