For a woman who doesn’t have retracted nipples, which drying method is preferred?

Air drying is preferred for a woman who doesn’t have retracted nipples because it allows for a gentle and natural evaporation of moisture without the risk of irritation. This method minimizes the potential for friction that could occur with other drying methods such as towel drying or blotting with a cloth, which might cause discomfort or exacerbate any tenderness in the nipple area. Additionally, air drying is hygienic and prevents the introduction of bacteria that could be present on cloth materials.

While other methods like towel drying or using a paper towel may contribute to quicker drying, they may not be suitable for maintaining optimal skin integrity in sensitive areas. Therefore, air drying promotes comfort and safety during the drying process.
