Just wipe your vulva without trying to open the lips. Just dab the private parts and do not rub it. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

Just dab dry with a clean wet soft paper. Do not rub. You will be fine.
