Woman should lie on the bed without panties or the sanitary Pad. Place towels under buttocks to absorb any vaginal discharge. She should lie on her back with the knees bent and feet flat. Let the vagina dry by holding a hair dryer 10 to 12 inches away from episiotomy. The dry heat will gives a soothing effect on the wound
