Underwear is almost always worn under clothing, so it’s barely ever seen.
They may look great, but they certainly don’t make you feel great.
“The vulva is a very sensitive and delicate area, similar to the lips on your face.
You want to treat [it] gently,” OB-GYN Dr. Alyse Kelly-Jones told Healthline.
There are certain underwear fabrics to avoid like the plague if you want to have optimal vaginal health.
“Silk is hard because most silks are not stretchable.
Rayons and other synthetic fabrics like viscose can alsocause problemsfor the delicate pH balance in the vaginal area.
According to HuffPost, those materials can lead to the dreaded yeast infection, as well as bacterial vaginosis.
“Bacteria and yeast tend to grow in warm, moist places.
Polyester and nylon can also cause discomfort because they use dyes that can promote allergic reactions or general irritation.
Like other synthetic materials, they also do not absorb moisture, according toPopSugar.
