The need for more careful attention to personal cleanliness during menstruation will contribute to a girl's comfort and confidence. Once menstruation begins, the body's production of oil and perspiration may increase during the days before the period is due. The following tips can be helpful as girls begin to develop personal care habits:

==> Girls should gently cleanse the external genitalia ( mons, labia & clitoris) with soft soap & water as part of their daily bathing to help eliminate odor.
==> After each toilet use, girls should wash / wipe the anus from front to back to avoid the spread of bacteria from the anus to the vulva.
==> Girls should wash their hands before and after using the bathroom and whenever changing menstrual cloth/pad.
==> Panties should be changed daily. Cotton panties or panties with a cotton crotch are recommended because of cotton's superior absorbency.
==> The menstrual stain should be avoided on dress / panties as far as possible. If panties become stained during menstruation, presoaking in cold water will help loosen stains. Girls can also keep separate panties for menstruation days.
==> Girls should change sanitary pads as often as needed, to feel comfortable and to prevent odor from forming to high level. Odor develops when the menstrual flow leaves the body and comes in contact with air.
==> Girls should wrap pads in toilet paper/old news paper & put in the wastebasket.
==> Girls should carry their sanitary cloth/pad when they are expecting their period.
==> The sanitary pads can be made available in the school.
