Many have heard this over and over again - “it is important for us as women to wear cotton panties.” But, some women still don’t take it very seriously. Personally, wearing cotton panties is something I don’t compromise on. Yeast infections are no joke.

Cotton Underwear Help Prevent Yeast Infection And Itching

Anyway, manufacturers of cotton panties have started making them look sexy, so you can now use one stone to kill two birds. If you still insist on wearing synthetic panties, make sure the crotch is made of cotton.
