Background: Vaginitis risk factors include vulvar occlusion and moisture accumulation brought on by the use of sanitary napkins, synthetic underwear, and/or tight jeans. Patients and Methods: A case-control study conducted on 100 patients women with vaginitis and 100 in the control group attending Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital and Medical City. The study used a convenience sampling technique (non-random sampling technique) to choose the patients with vaginitis and control groups via take swab vaginal and direct interviews. The data were collected during a period from the 1st of December 2021 to the end of May 2022. Results: The result explained that ages ≥ 50 years, and single, and menopausal women are more frequency in the control group compared to the study group. While reveals that the participants women who use not wipe with soft tissue, and soap and water are less likely for vaginitis than those who use it (OR; 0.278, and 0.488) respectively. In contrast, the participant's women who use not clean with water are more likely for vaginitis than those who use it ( B= 1.509; P. value<0.001; OR= 4.524; 95% C.I = 2.225-9.198).
