A member asked:
When washing privates, does the order of what body parts you wash before/after matter since you could be spreading bacteria from privates to other parts of your body? (im a female)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is important to go from the front to the back always when wiping and cleaning to reduce the chances of spreading the bacteria from the anal area to the front that may increase chances of urinary tract infections.
