Although your BV may not have been caused by the adult cleansing wipes, sometimes they do more harm than good. Since you shouldn't be having sex during treatment, once you're free of infection you can wash off with mild soap and water instead. It is the cleanest and safest way to avoid an infection.
Here are some more tips to prevent another infection:
Abstain from sex or remain monogamous (have only one sexual partner).
Use condoms during sex.
Do not use douches or feminine sprays.
Visit your doctor for regular pelvic exams.
To avoid a recurrence of bacterial vaginosis, finish all medication prescribed by your doctor, even if the symptoms go away.
Wash diaphragms and other reusable birth control devices thoroughly after use.
Avoid wearing panty hose and other clothing that can trap moisture in the vagina.
After bowel movements, wipe from front to back (away from the vagina).
