According to one of the largest manufacturers of underwear Florage, 80% of women do not know how to choose the right panties. The main problem is the fashion for daily wearing of thongs.

Let's be honest: we girls want to feel at 5 with a plus every day. Thongs seem to be an ideal option for all occasions: they are elegant, do not stand out under clothes and emphasize the hips. However, daily wearing of a thong can result in serious health problems, up to the inability to conceive a child.

Thongs were invented in America during the Second World War for dancers of men's clubs: it was believed that they create an aura of mystery and temptation. Then thongs ceased to be underwear for “easy-going girls”: already in the 50s, Bridget Bardot wears a bikini on the beach.

The popularity of the mini-panties of the spectacular model fell on the 80s, when Americans and French began to appear regularly in bikinis, shocking the public and attracting everyone's attention. Since then, the number of fans of string has only grown. Why, then, are doctors worried about the health of women wearing thongs?

First of all, because in 9 cases out of 10 thongs are made from synthetics. Synthetics are cheaper than natural fabrics, and the demand for inexpensive sexy underwear is great. In fact, high-quality panties for every day should consist of at least 80% cotton. Cotton has anti-allergenic properties, excellent air permeability and allows our body to regulate temperature. In cold weather, the cotton fabric retains heat well, and in heat, on the contrary, it cools the skin as much as possible.

Unlike cotton, synthetic fabric does not absorb sweat and prevents our skin from breathing. A real greenhouse is created in the bikini zone - ideal conditions for the reproduction of bacteria and fungal infections. “When a patient comes to me complaining of thrush, the first thing I ask is:“ Do you wear a thong? ”Says gynecologist Elena Lyubimova,“ The connection between the thrush and thong is the most direct: microflora is disturbed due to regular wear of thongs the vagina. “

In the summer season, the risk of infection of the vaginal mucosa is especially great. In summer, we dress lightly, sit on the seats in the subway and cafe, and the sings are not able to protect the vagina from external infections. Because instead of a fabric “shield” (as is the case with classic panties), our vagina is covered by an ultra-thin strip. “This is an excellent bridge through which bacteria from the anus enter the vagina and cause inflammation, allergic reactions,” commented Gayane Georgievna Hakobyan, obstetrician-gynecologist and reproductologist. “Regular inflammatory reactions, unfortunately, adversely affect reproductive function. In addition, wearing strings provokes cystitis. “

Cystitis is an inflammation of the urethra that directly attacks the mucous membranes. It is unlikely that the pleasure of sexy lingerie outweighs the constant pain when going to the toilet, burning and money spent on expensive antibiotics.

In addition to cystitis, thong lovers are 2 times more likely to suffer from hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and skin itching. The skin in the bikini area is the most delicate, and tight-fitting thongs are rubbed and lead to the formation of micro-wounds, including in the anus area. If you continue to wear mini-panties, despite the discomfort, the wounds will be delayed three times longer than usual. And in this case, they are guaranteed to get an infection. Of course, thongs look seductive, but here the inflamed reddened skin and cracks in the anus - definitely not.

Finally, if you wear a thong in the winter, you can earn hypothermia. In the best case, you will get rid of chills, regular pains in the lower abdomen and frequent visits to the gynecologist in the next six months, and in the worst - a severe malfunction of the menstrual cycle, and, as a result, a serious risk of infertility.

"Remember: thongs were not created for everyday wear, so use them for their intended purpose - for romantic dates," warns Gaene Georgievna Hakobyan, - and in everyday life wear comfortable and convenient underwear. Then health problems can be avoided. ”


Hygienists tirelessly explain why you should not wear thongs, how harmful they are - but nevertheless, the girls continue to wear them. Although sometimes they honestly admit that this is not the most comfortable clothes.

Beauty or health?

Why can’t you wear a thong? How are they harmful? And how is it that such a harmful part of a woman’s toilet can be bought everywhere? Really, the enemies of women were distraught so that we bought thongs, and then suffered and hurt?

Weak sex buys these microscopic panties for two reasons:

  • they are sexy;
  • they are not visible under the clothes.
These arguments are very convincing. Indeed, in this underwear a woman looks seductive. And they can be worn under the most tight-fitting trousers or leggings, without fear that people walking behind can enjoy the emerging contours of underwear.

But going all day in super-erotic strings is very, very difficult. Physically hard. There are two reasons:

  • cut of thong;
  • the material from which they are made.
Thongs made of natural fabric are extremely rare, therefore the material for this underwear is taken synthetic, with all the ensuing consequences: synthetics do not breathe, it is not hygroscopic, under it the body sweats and gets irritated. There is nothing good in this, especially if you remember what part of the body it is.

But even if one succeeds in acquiring a thong made of natural fabric, structural defects will remain. This applies primarily to a thin strip of fabric, which is located behind. No matter how erotic thongs are, but this strip, which is closer in thickness to the rope, string or even thread, cuts deep into the crotch, and when walking, although slightly, it “fidgets”. Such movements of a narrow strip of tissue in the anus, urethra and entrance to the vagina are not only unpleasant in subjective sensations, but also objectively harmful to health, since:

  • irritate and injure the mucous membrane in these parts of the body;
  • can carry pathogens of various diseases from the anus into the vagina and urethra and vice versa.
At the same time, we recall that under synthetics the body does not breathe and sweats profusely. This all gives reason to doubt such erotic strings, especially in terms of smell. Even freshly washed panties after an hour of wearing, even if you use a gasket, will at least smell like sweat, and besides that, discharge in the crotch. Therefore, by the way, they are made of synthetics, which is so easy to wash. Natural fabric is unlikely to endure such intensive use for a long time, and the rear narrow part risks changing its color.

How to wear a thong without harm to health

The frightening statement of the question “panties or health” can be mitigated and a compromise possible. The main point is wearing time. The less you carry them and the faster you take them off, the better. The second point is the gasket. She is necessary. Without it, a narrow part of the string is very quickly saturated with secretions, and if you wear panties for a long time, microtrauma of the mucous membrane in the perineum (scuff) will appear. All this taken together is an ideal breeding ground for the propagation of pathogens, such as a Petri dish ... By the way, not only candida fungi and others, but even worm eggs can get into the vagina. In general, the longer you wear thongs, the more fun and easy the exchange of intestinal and vaginal microflora occurs. As a result, you can get sick:

  • cystitis;
  • urethritis;
  • thrush (vaginal candidiasis), etc.
Wearing thongs on critical days is strongly discouraged, since menstruation increases the risk of infection and the development of gynecological diseases many times over.

If all of the above has not convinced you enough, then the observations of doctors indicate that especially zealous lovers of thong risk becoming infertile due to chronic inflammatory processes of the genitourinary sphere and constant circulatory disturbance due to squeezing of blood vessels with tight narrow panties.

Therefore, when buying a thong, do not flatter yourself with the hope that from the moment you purchase it to coming home and trying on a new thing, you miraculously manage to lose weight by a size or even two. Do not take if you see that the thong is small. Not only will flour wear for you, without exaggeration, but the erotic look of a woman in too small panties, over which folds hang, can not be called.

To summarize

The eroticism of this underwear, of course, plays a decisive role, therefore girls and women have worn, will and will wear them, despite all the warnings of the Ministry of Health. But at the same time, we have already found out that all the reasons why you should not wear thongs, why they are harmful, are quite logical. Therefore, you can wear them without much damage to your health on a date that could end in sex. But wearing a thong constantly in all life situations is not worth it.

  Thongs Type of underpants, look like a triangle with thin ropes, very deeply cut at the back. Most often have a high waist. Extremely popular.

Cheap thongs are made of synthetic fabrics - nylon, nylon, etc. Synthetic materials pass air very poorly, moisture builds up, diaper rash appears. This contributes to the activation of harmful microflora - pathogens - bacteria that multiply rapidly in a warm, humid environment. All this can serve as the beginning of the development of fungal diseases, inflammatory processes, especially in people with weakened immune systems, taking antibiotics.


In the presence of infectious diseases harm to thongs  may occur when taking antibiotics, due to a violation of the microflora in the vagina, synthetic underwear (especially type of thong) can provoke the development of thrush (especially when immunity is weakened, fungal organisms begin to develop).

The danger of strings is a thin braid that is located between the buttocks, especially if the underwear is not sized to fit (often the thong is tight-fitting - the underwear sits very tight on the body and cuts into the skin, which is uncomfortable in itself). During movements, she rubs the mucous, delicate skin of the genitals, leading to irritation, inflammation, infections, and trauma, resulting in harm strin  can be quite extensive.

The pressure of the string thong occurs precisely on the anus. Mechanical impact - prolonged constant friction, contributes to the development of hemorrhoids.

If rubbing and irritation occurs constantly, then microcracks become inflamed and there is a risk of infection with various infections. For example, papelomavirus only in the presence of cracks can penetrate the mucous membrane (and the condom does not protect against it). With cracks, they can be infected even with close household contact.


The braid is adjacent to the anus and during the movement carries bacteria from the anus to the urethra. The focus of the infection that spreads quickly spreads and ultimately penetrates the vagina and the bladder, provoking the occurrence of:

  • Fungal diseases
  • Dysbacteriosis
  • Gardnerella
  • The development of urinary tract infections (cystitis, etc.)

Also, underwear that crushes can provoke bartholinitis - inflammation of the large gland of the vestibule, the causative agents of which are various microbes - staphylococci, gonococci, etc.


Therefore, experts consider thongs to be unhygienic underwear - the microflora in the vagina changes, more secretions appear, as a result there is an unpleasant smell and the need to wash them off more often. Glycogen and sour milk stick are washed off, which act as a defense of our mucous membrane. As a result of frequent washing of the genital organs, the normal microflora of the vagina is disturbed, which fights against all foreign microorganisms that fall on them. For this reason, wearing such underwear disrupts biocinesis in the vagina. Such infection leads to bacterial vaginosis, this disease is the most dangerous during pregnancy (it can provoke premature discharge of water).

The constant wearing of strings leads to atrophy of the mucous membrane of the external genital organs, as a result of which the harm of the strings is manifested not only in relation to the genitals, but can lead to cancer.

Thongs are not convenient with active movement - running, in the gym, etc.

In the event of a fall, shock, or car accident, wearing a string increases the risk of genital injuries.

Why do women wear thongs

Thongs go unnoticed when worn with tight or transparent things, perfect for evening dresses.


The tan in the thong is smooth.

How to wear a thong

Gynecologists advise women to wear thong panties as little as possible.

Synthetic underwear, daily pads and thongs provoke irritation of the skin and perineal mucosa. They themselves are not pathogens, but synthetics do not let air through, thereby creating a favorable atmosphere for the multiplication of already existing harmful bacteria. For this reason, use linen made from non-natural fabrics - once or twice a week. The constant wearing of such underwear can be hazardous to health.

Studies have shown that everyday wearing of synthetic underwear provokes the development of various kinds of oncology - the formation of cancer of the internal organs of the reproductive system of a woman, bladder, colon and rectum. Women who prefer to wear a thong are more likely to suffer from inflammation of the bladder.

During periods of taking antibiotics (if there is an infection), wearing synthetic underwear is strictly prohibited.

Underwear should only be made from natural materials.

How to choose a thong

When choosing a thong, give preference to panties made of natural fabrics such as cotton, rayon, silk, linen, linen, chintz.

  • Cotton
  • Viscose
  • Canvas
  • Chintz

Natural materials allow the skin to breathe, pass air well, do not create a greenhouse effect and protect the body from allergic reactions, providing it with comfort.

Also, in any panties should be a cotton tab.


Often, a microfiber tab is added to the cotton fabric, which is ideal for underwear. Thanks to this, the material becomes smooth, soft, elastic and durable, withstanding several hundred washings. This underwear is comfortable and hygienic.

Thongs, like any underwear, you must choose your size (it should not crush or rub). Tight-fitting, tight thongs rub the perineum and provoke various infectious diseases of the pelvic organs.

When not to wear a thong

Do not wear thongs in hot and humid weather - under such conditions, bacteria multiply very quickly. Therefore, try not to wear swimwear with thong panties.

Do not wear a thong in the cold season, especially in winter - this is fraught with hypothermia.

If you wear synthetic panties, be sure to use panty liners for every day and regularly, change them as necessary.


Do not wear thongs constantly, especially at night (when the body is resting and recovering) - if possible, change them to closed panties such as slips, panties, tangos, which are comfortable and safe.

Today, the choice of underwear is quite wide (seamless underwear, with a low waist, etc.), much of which can make an alternative to thongs.

Thongs are one of the varieties of underwear. This type of linen has a peculiar design, outwardly resembling a triangle with thin ropes. Recently, they have become extremely popular.

Few women think about the issue of whether it is harmful to wear a thong and how harmful a thong is for a female body.

Thongs are underwear, not desirable for wearing in everyday life and for use in sports.

In the event of an emergency in transport, wearing this type of laundry can lead to serious injuries to the genitals.

Doctors recommend the use of such underpants in exceptional cases when it is expected to wear tight-fitting clothing or clothing that is translucent. Doctors also recommend to wear thong underwear when going out under evening dresses.

Most doctors claim that thongs are unhealthy.

Why is it harmful to wear a thong? Very often, to reduce the cost of production, manufacturers use synthetic fabrics to manufacture their products. Such fabrics can be nylon and nylon.

What is the harm of strings made from such materials? The fact is that materials of synthetic origin have low air permeability, this leads to the fact that moisture begins to accumulate on the surface of underwear, which provokes the appearance of diaper rash.

In places of accumulation of moisture, favorable conditions arise for the development of pathogenic microflora. Elevated temperature and humidity are factors that activate the process of bacterial reproduction.

An increase in the number of bacteria can serve as the beginning of the development of a fungal disease or inflammation of the organs of the intimate sphere in women with a weakened immune system, this effect is especially pronounced if a woman used antibiotics that additionally weakened her immune system in the treatment of a disease.

The use of strings can lead to disturbances in the microflora in the vagina. Wearing underwear of this type in women can provoke the development of thrush.

Very often, women acquire underwear that is tight-fitting on the body. In this case, the braid that cuts into the skin and irritates the genital area is a great danger for women. This leads to the appearance of inflammatory processes, trauma and irritation.

In addition to harm from strings, it may be that the pressure of the braid exerted on the anus leads to irritation. If a girl for a long time will wear a thong and not wear another type of underwear, this can trigger the development of hemorrhoids.

In girls who constantly wear this type of underwear, there is a constant irritation of the anal area, leading to the appearance of microcracks through which the penetration of harmful infections is facilitated.

Completely girls can not refuse to use this type of panties, but you should wear them, alternating with other varieties of this element of clothing.

In this case, from strings, the harm to women's health will be minimal or practically not noticeable.

What is the result of prolonged wearing of thongs?

The harmfulness of wearing this type of underwear for a long time lies in the fact that the tight fit of the braid to the girl's anus promotes the transport of bacteria from the anus to the intimate area.

The emerging focus of pathogenic bacteria begins to harm women's health, because bacteria enter the urethra and the vagina.

As a result of the formation of a focus of pathogenic bacteria in the intimate zone, bacteria enter the bladder and the depths of the vagina.

Girls wearing thongs very often complain of discomfort in the body, this condition can be associated with the development of the following ailments:

  • fungal diseases;
  • dysbiosis;
  • gardnerellosis;
  • urinary tract infections such as cystitis

In addition, wearing such underwear can harm women's health by the fact that there is constant irritation of the large gland located on the eve of the vagina.

Such irritation leads to the appearance of an inflammatory process and the development of bartholinitis.

The occurrence of such problems with women's health is most often associated with the penetration of microorganisms such as staphylococci and gonococci.

Why are thongs harmful? The answer to this question among medical workers is unequivocal - the harmfulness of this type of underwear lies in its contribution to changing the microflora of the intimate zone.

Wearing such underpants increases the volume of secretions, which leads to increased reproduction of bacteria and the appearance of an unpleasant odor. An increase in the amount of discharge leads to more frequent hygiene procedures. When carrying out the latter, glycogen and lactic acid bacillus are washed off from the surface of the mucosa, which serve as a protective barrier for the genital mucosa.

Forced frequent hygiene procedures provokes the death of beneficial microflora and as a result of replacing it with pathogenic microorganisms. There is a violation of the biocenosis in the vagina.

Infection can provoke the appearance of bacterial vaginosis. The development of vaginosis is especially dangerous for a woman during the period of gestation.

This disease can provoke premature waste of water and premature birth.

The panties, which are selected correctly, freely fit the body and do not leave marks on the skin. These they must have properties. ThongOf course, they will not go out of fashion soon, but they do not possess these properties.

Gynecologists do not recommend girls and women to wear thongs too often. So that they can be worn and not look funny at the same time, they simply have to be made of synthetic fabrics, of the same nylon. And this is exclusively unhygienic material, at least for intimate clothes. These materials trap moisture, creating a warm, moist environment that is more suitable for the life of bacteria than the nutrient broth from the laboratory.

The dangers of wearing a thong for girls

This is actually the main danger, but not the last. They say that thongs increase the genitals during falls or accidents, but it is unlikely that anyone can be frightened by what may or may not happen.

Girls in thong  it is both beautiful and attractive, perhaps even convenient but not entirely safe. There are times when they are indispensable, for example, when worn under transparent or tight-fitting things. Or highly desirable, for example, in anticipation of intimacy, or in ultraviolet bathrooms in a solarium.

In all other cases, it is better to refuse to wear them. Just worn under jeans - why?

Yes, and you can sunbathe in them only in the solarium, and on the sand you have to pre-treat the entire beach with some antiseptic, such as bleach. Or do not get up from the deck chair.

The benefits or harms of strings

That is, there are very few probable cases of extremely desirable wearing of thongs, and in all other cases it is not worth wearing them, if only because the positive aspects of thongs at these two moments in life end, but on the other side of the scales there are many negative factors. Is it harmful to wear a thong? Of course it’s harmful.

God bless him with discomfort and some awkwardness, women went to great hardships, seeking the attention of men.

So, nylon is not only the habitat of microbes, the presence of which in the body is fraught with rather unpleasant diseases. Nylon still feeds them and favors reproduction.

Cancer Danger

Continuous wearing of synthetic synthetics increases, for example, cancer:

  • rectum and colon
  • bladder,
  • internal reproductive female organs.

Not particularly in the case of thongs and one-day sanitary pads will help, they may reduce the risk of dangerous diseases, but they will not reduce it to nothing.

A rope skipped between the legs uniquely rubs the skin, and this happens in extremely tender and intimate places. Great method. Another achievement of this rope is that it is an ideal bridge for transferring bacteria from the anus to the urethra and genitals, and vice versa. This, of course, contributes to the development of inflammatory phenomena both there and there. There are also scuffs of the skin, mottling of it with abrasions and scratches, which are very susceptible to fungal diseases, the treatment of which is quite a long and tedious task.

But if at the same time the size of the strings is also incorrectly selected, consider that you are already at risk. It is quite possible to pick up a couple of any vile diseases.

Do not forbid women to not thong, not piercing, not high heels. All this is harmful and dangerous, however, if you adhere to the rule that all this should be applied only if necessary, there is a chance to still survive to retirement.
