Cotton underpants are best, and nylon should be avoided because synthetic fibers dry and irritate the perineal area which can promote bacteria growth. The patient should not delay emptying the bladder when the urge is felt. Emptying the bladder every 2-4 hours is recommended to prevent urinary stasis.
