Vulvar care and hygiene is not only about how we clean ourselves but how we wipe ourselves after going to the washroom. It is important to wipe front to back to keep bacteria from your bum from getting into your urethra and vagina. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, wipe from FRONT to BACK (regardless of whether you have had a bowel movement or not).

Sometimes, due to injury or other mobility issues, it can be challenging reaching around back to wipe, but don't worry, we have you covered! Lisa Flanders, Physiotherapist walks you through how to wipe and some alternatives if you are mobility compromised.

Remember always Pat, Pat, from Front to Back!
