Most
of us never think too much about the dos and donts of intercourse. It
is very important to keep your private parts healthy and clean. Most of
the infections that occur down there is because of unhealthy habits that
one follows. And here are 8 things that you should totally do after
making love. By doing so, you are helping your private part stay healthy
and away from any kind of infections.
1. GO TO TOILET AFTER INTER.COURSE
Number
one: do a number one. During intercourse, bacteria can be introduced
into your private part. It’s warm and moist inside there, which is the
perfect environment for bacteria to multiply. If you don’t want to end
up with a painful bladder infection, pee within an hour of having
intercourse, which helps to flush out your private part. And of course,
wipe from front to back to avoid faecal contamination.
2. AVOID HOT BATH TUB SHOWER
Shower
is good however avoid jumping into a hot bath tub. When your V (vagina)
responds to stimulation, it opens a little more. And after intercourse,
a hot bath tub shower can make you susceptible to more infections.
3. CHUG A PINT OF WATER
Just
like with exercise, you may need to hydrate after making love.
Dehydration affects your entire body, so if your mouth is dry, you
definitely need to refuel with water. Chug a pint or two of water right
after intercourse,it will hydrate you and help flush pesky UTI-causing
bacteria from your bladder.
4. EAT FOOD THAT IS RICH IN PROBIOTIC
What
you eat after having intercourse is very important. I know those
chocolate chip cookies in the jar look tempting, but we advise you to
choose your snack wisely. Your best option is fermented foods such as
yogurt for instance. Kombucha and kimchi make healthy alternatives.
Eating these as a snack after intercourse can restock good bacteria so that you don’t get yeast infections.

5. AVOID SOAP DOWN THERE
Not
just after intercourse (although your V is particularly sensitive
then), but always: don’t wash with soap. Your nether region is a
self-cleansing organism and using soaps, douches or other products can
interfere with its delicate pH levels. Soap can also lead to irritation
and dryness – in fact, as a rule of thumb, if you wouldn’t put it in
your mouth, don’t put it near your private part. After intercourse (and
always), rinse only with warm, clean water.
6. DITCH THE CUTE LINGERIE
Most
types of lingerie are made from non-breathable fabrics like nylon or
polyester. Slap them on after intercourse, and you’re creating the
perfect environment for germs to grow. Remember, your V is warm and damp
after getting down, and that’s when bacteria is likely to thrive,
especially when trapped by non-breathable materials. Go commando or
stick to cotton undies so your nether regions can breathe free.
7. AVOID WET WIPES
While
it might be appealing to swipe yourself clean using wet wipes, the
chemicals and fragrances can irritate your sensitive genital area,
especially after intercourse. If you want to use something other than
plain water to clean up, try mixing a little vinegar with warm water.
Vinegar is cleansing and won’t disrupt your body’s pH levels. Dry gently
afterwards.
8. PREVENT YEAST INFECTIONS BY BLOW DRYING YOUR NETHER REGIONS
You
would be surprised, but many women are blow drying their private part
after making love. It is very effective according to some doctors,
although you must be careful. Blow drying is especially effective for
women prone to UTIs and mycosis.
Before
blow drying, wash the your V with warm water. Use cold air setting to
dry the area. Make sure you don’t overdo it and ensure the innermost V
remains moist. Use a soft hand towel in the end.
