Unlike regular undies, thongs come in close contact with the genetalia and anus. If there is fecal material on a thong, it can easily travel to the front via butt floss. Thongs can also cause irritation because the tight fit and synthetic materials don’t allow the vagina to breathe.
If you have to wear a thong during the day, wear white cotton panties at night, says Patty Quinlan, registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Regular panties decrease the chance for irritation and the entrapment of organisms because cotton is a natural fiber, which is breathable and absorbs moisture from the skin. Cotton underwear can also be bleached, and bleach kills organisms that cause yeast infections.
