Toddler touching her privates

Since we started potty training and my DD has been wearing pants she touches herself all the time. I don't know whay to do about it. I know the right thing is to let her, but I can't bear her having smelly fingers. It doesn't seem very hygienic. So how do I tell her not to touch herself without using the word "dirty" Also when she's doing it she won't stop, so I end up getting really cross and grabbing her hand. I know I am going about it all wrong. I wouldn't mind her doing it when she's in the bath for example as she's having a wash but I don't know how to explain this without kind of encouraging it iyswim.

I don't know what to do!

Honestly, you are being totally ridiculous. I hope to hell you're not telling her she's "dirty", FOR FUCKS SAKE. Excellent way to screw her up for life by shaming her.
