Actually, you can't, and sometimes it bleeds thru onto the crotch of denims or slacks. The trick is to spread a thin layer; then I don't worry about it. Cotton panties help, or nylon that comes lined. The jelly protects from urine, which makes things worse. The relief I get is worth
washing clothes.

Wear cotton only , do not put underwear in the dryer w dryer sheets, I hadn’t dry. Don’t wear underwear to bed and cotton loose pj’s only . I’ve been told to only use Scott toilet paper which doesn’t have perfumes,
I’m headed to Dr today to discuss fraxel laser which in this case is called Mona Lisa laser. I’ll report my experience to all .

@drd79, Thank you for your response. Your advice makes sense and I use petroleum jelly sometimes at bedtime. I think I use too much because by morning it is all over my underwear. By the way, my usual underwear when I do not have to wear pants is men's boxer shorts. I pull them down a bit so nothing touches my sensitive areas. I wear a skirt at home and also can wear one in the summer with my boxer shorts even when I leave the house. I do not mind washing clothes either. It is one of a couple of chores I can actually do. I have to use Lidocaine ointment to numb the area and have to allow that to dry before putting on "regular" underwear. With all good wishes, @joybringer1
