Well good hygiene for that is to wash the vagina everyday to keep it clean. Be sure to change your pad every time you go to the restroom. If you use a tampon remember to change it out every 4-6 hours. Always keep the pubic area clean and wash your hands after changing your pad/tampon. Hope that helped
