A Look at the Health Risks and Preventative Measures for Wearing Thong Panties
Many women in our society wear thongs. These items are worn for various reasons including fashion, discretion and private affairs. However, it is important that women are conscious about the health risks related to thong panties. Every woman needs to know that thongs should not be worn 24 hours each day. Thong panties should also be purchased carefully.

Wearing thongs can contribute the spread of bacteria. Thong panties can cause bladder infections and urinary tract infections. These conditions can be very painful for women and worsen if not treated. Thongs can also aid in the distribution of bacteria from one area to another. The small string on a thong allows the anus and vagina to be connected with each other. There is no separation between the two orifices which will allow fecal substances to get into the vagina. Other bacteria such as group B streptococcal disease and E. coli can be passed into the anus and vagina as well.

The risk of spreading bacteria between the anus and vagina is one reason why women may avoid wearing thong panties. There are ways to minimize the risk of spreading bacteria. Women who choose to wear thongs can prevent bacterial infections by purchasing cotton thongs. It is best to stay away from thongs that are made from other materials like spandex and nylon. This may not be an easy choice to make for some women who prefer to have a certain style of panties.

Many of the more popular and appealing undergarment styles for women are not made in cotton. They are indeed made in spandex, nylon and polyester material. This is the case for thongs and regular panties as well. Attractive panty styles make women more susceptible to purchasing non-cotton undergarments. However, women must realize that their health is more important than what their underwear looks like. If thong panties are going to be worn, they should be 100% cotton. Women who purchase any style panty should at least have cotton material in the crotch area.
