Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
What are your considerations when buying panties? If it’s an adorable shape or color, then you are wrong. There are other factors that need to be considered in choosing underwear to support health intimate organs.
For some people, including those with sensitive skin on the intimate organs, the selection of underwear is something that should be considered properly. People with sensitive skin are prone to infections, including fungi and bacteria in the sex organs.
Women with sensitive skin should consider using certain materials that allow the skin around the sex organs to breathe. Because, however, fungi and bacteria tend to breed in damp and dark places.
Here are tips for choosing underwear, citing various sources.
1. The right material
Not all underwear is created equal. There are certain types of clothing that can actually cause irritation. One of them can be seen from the fabric used.
Quoting The HealthyNatural fibers such as cotton are one of the best types of fabrics because they are soft and comfortable against the skin. The cotton fabric also keeps the skin breathable.
You can actually choose underwear made of synthetic fabrics such as nlon, spandex, and polyester. However, you need to be careful when using it.
Studies published in European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology indicates that underwear made of synthetic fabrics increases the risk of fungal infection.
However, not all experts agree on the results of these studies. Gynecologist Jen Gunter said, following a proper diet is even more important to avoid yeast infection. Your hygiene patterns also play a more important role in controlling the possibility of yeast infection.
2. Make sure the size is right
Whatever the reason, the right underwear size is the most important thing to consider. In addition to making you more comfortable, the right size can also prevent irritation.
“Wearing underwear that is too tight can cause friction and cause cysts, ingrown hairs, warts and other problems,” said gynecologist Pari Ghodsi, quoting Huffington Post.

3. The use of ropes is not always bad
Some types of panties such as thongs or G-strings involve the use of straps on the sides. You can use this type of pants, the origin of the fabric and the size does not cause irritation.
For this type of underwear, make sure the vaginal area is covered by a cotton cloth.
Research in 2018 has compared the use of underwear with thongs and the usual. As a result, there was no difference in yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or urinary tract infections. The study only found an increased incidence of fungal infection with non-cotton underwear.
