      Disinfectant wipes sold on the market can be roughly divided into two categories. One category contains skin care ingredients and cannot be disinfected. skin Moisturizing care, this kind of wipes obviously cannot be used for genital cleaning; The other type is disinfectant wipes that are not only disinfected themselves, but can also disinfect other items and can be used for disinfection or sterilization. Disinfection or sterilization ingredients are usually indicated on the packaging, but this type of wet wipes does not have a pH label and contains many chemical ingredients that are highly irritating and are not suitable for wiping the external genitalia after sex. For some people with genital damage or allergies, they should not use disinfectant wipes to wipe their genitals after sex. Once cross-infection occurs, disease prevention will not be possible and new diseases will be introduced.

      The correct approach is to wash the lower body with clean water in time after sex and dry it with a clean towel. This can prevent external genital infections and reduce the chance of urinary system infections.
