Washing oneself after Immersion

Question

 How long after immersion is it customary not to wash oneself? 

Thank you. 

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

A woman should not wash herself after immersion until she has done something that shows she is permitted to her husband. Therefore, after touching him she may wash herself.
