Yeast infections and cotton undies.................

I have recently learned that wearing non-cotton undies can give you recurring yeast infections and it ***** .

Did anybody hear the same? Or is it ust old wife tales?

I find it hard to find cute & sexy cotton undies. Any recommendations, except for VS? Anybody shops online and can share great sites?

i heard that years ago also...they also say not to stay in a wet bathing suit for the same reason...sexy & cotton...good luck!! I think that someone could make millions if they came up with them!

Some women get yeast infections frequently, but for no apparent reason. However, women who are taking antibiotics; have frequent, vigorous sex; or take birth control pills may have a greater risk of getting a yeast infection. Yeast infections also tend to worsen the week before the menstrual period. Women with immune system deficiencies, such as AIDS; women who are pregnant; and women with uncontrolled diabetes may also get repeated yeast infections.

Self-care tips
You can help prevent yeast infections by keeping your genital and rectal area clean and dry; wearing clean, cotton underwear each day; wiping from front to back after you go to the bathroom; douching no more than once per month; and avoiding vaginal deodorants. Although its benefit has not been proven, some believe that eating yogurt containing the Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria will help prevent yeast infections.

while I was reading this I seriously felt like I was either watching a commercial or reading the back of some kind of pharmacy box

At one point I had a really bad problem (TMI to explain here) with this so now I mainly stick to cotton and have to avoid thongs but it's much better than the alternative....some people are fine but now I don't take my chances.

Yeah it IS hard, esp. when I wanted to find special wedding undies!

I completely agree. It reminded me of the one that then goes onto day 'Oh yeah - I am a doctor'
