Tips to keep your underwear health & happy

Ladies, we need to talk about your undercarriage. Granted, it is not the most glamorous topic, but in the era of tight-fitting workout pants and high-intensity, sweat-inducing exercise, we need to get real about yeast infections. According to Womenshealth.gov, three out of four women will get a yeast infection at some point in their lives. Yeast infections typically present with itching, irritation, pain during intercourse, painful urination, rashes, vaginal odor and discomfort, and white, lumpy discharge.

Don't Wear a Wet Bathing Suit All Day
According to Dr. Holt, our genitals are moist environments that attract yeast and bacteria. The more moisture, the greater the opportunity to change our internal pH balance. Sweating while working out, or even swimming or sitting in a hot tub, can affect the amount of moisture surrounding the vagina.

Let her breathe
Avoid wearing extremely tight underwear because it produces heat and causes you to sweat and smell. Wear underwear that is made of cotton as this will allow you to breathe, thus, helping you to help your vagina stay happy.
Unless we're trying to avoid a pant line in a very tightly-fitted dress, most of us wouldn't think about going about our daily business underwear-free.

Whether that's for comfort or the fact that we live in blustery Britain, putting on our sexy matching undies (read: Bridget Jones granny pants) is just part of our morning routine.
