Think of these as small, soothing upgrades that respect your body’s natural defenses.
- Rinse daily with warm water, then pat dry. Use a mild, fragrance free cleanser on the outer skin only.
- Choose breathable underwear. Cotton helps airflow and reduces moisture. If you prefer liners or pads, choose unscented and change often.
- Rotate wardrobe choices. Avoid tight synthetic leggings for long hours. After gardening or walking, change into dry clothing.
- Mind your laundry routine. Use a gentle detergent, skip fabric softeners on underwear, and dry fully before storing.
- Stay hydrated. Adequate water helps dilute urine odor and supports overall skin health.
- Support your balance with food. Probiotic rich foods like yogurt or kefir and a diet rich in fiber and vegetables can support a healthy microbiome.
