Anyone have any good tips for preventing yeast infection? I know not to wear tight pants, but what else? Any good vitamins to take? Things to eat?

I take an Acidophilus supplement, eat Greek yogurt and go without underwear as much as possible when I'm around the house.

- Wear cotton underwear as much as you can it breaths better
- Briefs are better than thongs
- At the very least sleep without underwear
- DO NOT douche this disrupts the natural balance
- Limit the number of bubble baths to one a week
That's about it, the key is letting your girly bits breath and keeping them clean without disrupting the natural balance down there.
Oh yes one other thing, if you have sex with someone about a week prior to getting a yeast infection make sure you treat HIM too. He may carry the infection without knowing it and give it back to you. Easiest way to do this is when you buy an over the counter kit get one with the extra tube of medicated cream and have him apply it to his penis, if uncircumcised make sure he gets it under the foreskin and do this for as long as you are treating yourself.
