1 Drink lots of WATER
Water is extremely important to drink during the summer or if you are living in the tropics like me. 
During the hot summer, it is especially important to drink as much water as possible so that it can clean you out. 
Also, it can prevent urine infections as well. 

How to tell if you are drinking enough water
The most common symptoms of dehydration are thirst, dark coloured urine, dry skin and fatigue.
The best way to know that you are not drinking enough water is If your urine is dark yellow or worse dark brown, then yes, you are dehydrated. So, drink more water.

2. Wear COTTON
It is best to wear cotton clothing especially cotton underwear in the summer. If some of you are like me then you may swear a lot down there you will definitely need the cotton undies to absorb all the sweat since cotton is a breathable fabric 
If you are one of these girls who love the fancy lacy or synthetic fabrics think twice because these will trap moisture and cause irritation & friction; also, it will be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Please stay away from wearing thongs for a long period. I am not saying you can’t wear it but not for a long period of time.   

3 Shower 

Shower at least two times per day properly using lukewarm water. That means once in the morning and again before bedtime. Do not put soap into the vagina.
Washing with cold to lukewarm water regularly is important to keep the vagina clean & healthy.  Wash your private with only water no soap ladies.

After washing ensure you dry yourself properly and put on clean underwear. Also ensure you wear cotton, unscented panty liners, it will help keep you dry throughout the day.

4 Let it breathe
When I was in my twenties, I was told by a nurse that I should sleep without underwear and simply let down there get some air. 

5 Shaving or no shaving?
If hair is removed
The pubic hair’s function is to protect the vagina by preventing bacteria and harmful pathogens from entering the vagina. 
It is hard to keep the 
If the hair is removed 
When that hair is removed then it will make it easier for bacteria to get in.
It is also easier to keep the vagina area dry
 
6 Change WET CLOTHES Immediately
If you exercise or go swimming often even a coming out from outside you will be sweaty from the hot summer sun. Go change your clothes or possibly take a shower if possible.

7 Avoid tight clothing when it is very hot.
I notice that I get very uncomfortable when I wear tight clothing when it is hot outside. I will sweat a lot and just feel extremely uncomfortable. It is recommended to wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing some persons prefer to wear dresses. I use to wear lots of dresses when I was pregnant because it made me feel comfortable in the heat.
