Never use petroleum lubricants when having sex.

After you take a bathe, make sure your vagina is completely dry.

Get plenty of rest.

Wear white cotton underwear.
White cotton underwear will help absorb wetness, helping to prevent you from getting a frequent yeast infection.
Man-made fabrics like polyester will hold moisture in, helping yeast bacteria to grow quicker.

When you educate yourself about the proper steps you need to take so that you can deal with your yeast infection and help your body control the fungal overgrowth from the inside out.

I have tried most products and over the counter medications, all of which seem to work, but, only for a few days.

Also, you will feel more healthier, vibrant and energized.
You will have better digestion, greater vision, healthier hair, skin and nails.
When you douche it destroys the good bacteria that stops you from getting a yeast infection.
Douching takes away the natural coating of the vagina, making you more likely to get a yeast infection.
