As you recover from vaginal thrush, you should focus on keeping your genital area clean and dry. Wash your vagina with water and mild soap or no soap. Pat it dry or air dry it after washing. When wiping yourself after going to the bathroom, use soft white toilet paper and always wipe from front to back. Breathable fabrics like cotton ensure your vagina can breathe and is not irritated due to sweating during the day. When washing your underwear, you should use mild, fragrance-free soap. Avoid using fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as these can contain chemicals that may irritate your vagina. These substances can irritate your vagina and delay the treatment of vaginal thrush. You should also avoid taking bubble baths, using bath oils, talc, or powder. Make sure to avoid powders that contain cornstarch, as cornstarch provides food for microorganisms. Tampons can irritate your vagina and slow down the treatment process, so it's best to avoid them while you recover. Though vaginal thrush cannot be spread through sexual contact, you should still use condoms when having sex to prevent the spread of other diseases or infections.
Keep your genital area clean and dry. Wear cotton underwear and avoid wearing tights or panty hose. Avoid vaginal sprays, powders, perfumes, or fragrances. Use sanitary pads, not tampons. Use condoms when you have sex.
