To BV or Not To BV 👀 The pitfalls of self-diagnosis

How soon should I change out of wet swimsuits or sweaty gym clothes?
Change out of wet swimsuits or sweaty gym clothes as soon as possible. Warm, damp fabric can create a yeast/bacteria-friendly environment. If you can’t change immediately, rinse when possible, gently dry the vulvar area, and switch to breathable underwear as soon as you can. If you get itching, burning, abnormal discharge, or strong odor, see a clinician.
