Maintaining hygiene for the genital area is very important to women's overall health because in addition to preventing body odor, itching and discomfort, a clean "little girl" also minimizes bacteria invading and causing infection. In some cases, bacterial infections can lead to infertility, illness, cancer and other health problems. To keep your genitals hygienic, you need to shower regularly, develop healthy habits related to “red light” days, and wear cool material underpants.
