A thread 🧵

{Retweet for awareness!} Image
When some people go to have a bath, they just pour water on their bodies, with or without soap, & pay little attention to cleaning the dirtiest & most vulnerable parts of their skin.

You need to do this to keep your skin clean & prevent lots of skin diseases.
The back of ears & ridge in front of the ears are often ignored when most people bath.

Some people come out of the bathroom but you still see dirt around these areas.

They are exposed to the outside & can harbor germs, dust & dirt.

Take time to clean these areas when bathing.
The armpit is one of the dirtiest & most odoriferous part of your body.

It's where bacteria mix with sweat to cause odour.

Wash your armpits thoroughly when bathing & use deodorant to keep it smelling good.

And always trim your armpit hair to avoid harboring more germs in it.
Groin & anal region are often dirty.

Most people use tissue paper to wipe after defecating, leaving particles of feces around the anus.

NO! Use water to wash, preferably with mild soap.

& always cut any hair around this area to avoid harboring more germs.
The space in-between your fingers can carry a lot of germs.

It's constantly exposed to germs when you shake hands, work or touch surfaces.

But often we tend to neglect this part when bathing.

Take time to wash IN-BETWEEN your fingers & under your nails esp when bathing.
Finally, in-between the toes is another dirty area most people ignore.

Needless to say a lot of dirt accumulate there. Even if you use socks, it's nearest to the ground & you can sweat in there while wearing shoes.

Wash in-between your toes thoroughly when bathing.
Many skin diseases like #fungi, #scabies & #dermatitis occur in some of these areas mentioned.

& that's particularly because they're often left unclean, favouring the growth of microorganisms.

The message is simple: Clean the hidden parts of your body thoroughly when you bath.

After sex,

1. Pee
2. Wash up
3. Drink water
4. Cuddle

In that order.
1. Why should you pee?

Studies have shown that peeing immediately after sex helps to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI). The urine flushes out some germs that may have got stuck in the urine passage (urethra) during sex.
2. Why should you wash up?

Washing up the genital area gently with clean water after sex helps to maintain your hygiene, reduce your risk of infection risk, and freshens you up.

There are two openings in the vulva — the vaginal opening and the urethral opening.

The urethral opening is the hole you pee out of. It is a tiny hole located just below your clitoris. The vaginal opening is right below your urethral opening.
As a woman, during vaginal sex, organisms in your vagina might find thier way deep into your urethra due to two reasons:

1. The thrusting
2. The fact that your urethra is shorter (5cm) than that of men (20cm)

So you are more prone to getting urinary tract infections after sex.

HAVING SEX DURING YOUR PERIOD CAN STILL MAKE YOU PREGNANT ‼️

{Like & repost for awareness}
There's a myth going around that women can’t get pregnant if they have sex while on their period.

While this doesn't happen all of the time, it still happens some of the time.

Here's why:
1. Shorter menstrual cycle

Most women have a 28-day cycle. Usually, they bleed for 3 to 5 of those days and are most fertile during the ovulation stage around 12 to 16 days before the next period starts. If she has a shorter cycle, it means she also ovulates earlier.
