Yeast infections can be caused by not changing underwear, tampons, or pads, so always make sure to change them regularly. Another way to prevent yeast infections, this method is sort of controversial, is to eat yogurt regularly, there is limited research that yogurt prevents yeast infections, but it is definitely worth a try.

Yeast is fungal so warm moist environments help yeast to thrive - thus avoid tight synthetic clothing, sitting for long periods of time, wearing daily pantiliners, wearing commercial menstrual pads, etc.
Yeast is kept under control by certain strains of bacteria within the vagina, this bacteria is maintained by an acidic pH so changes to pH can throw off flora - thus avoid washing genitals with soaps or washes (including feminine washes and wipes, also no douching), tampons, bubble baths, etc.
