Women are always advised to wipe themselves front to back. That is a wisdom that has been taught to daughters for a long time. And there is so much sense in it. Because you do not want harmful bacteria such as E.Coli to get into contact with your vulva. Medscape did a study that shows that one of the main causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women is caused by wrong wiping.
According to Dr. Luke Powles of Bupa UK, “a woman’s urethra and anus are quite closely located, so it’s best practice to wipe from front to back or you could be inviting a urinary tract infection.”
No one woman wants UTIs and vaginal irritations, do they?
