Cotton panties help prevent UTIs, yeast infections, and bacterial vaginosis due to their breathable and moisture-wicking properties. Cotton allows airflow, reduces moisture, and prevents bacterial and yeast growth. They're less irritating to sensitive skin compared to synthetics like nylon or polyester. Good hygiene, avoiding irritants, and a healthy lifestyle also play key roles in preventing these infections.
Here's how:
-
Breathability: Cotton is a breathable fabric that allows air to circulate around the vaginal area, reducing moisture and humidity. This prevents the growth of bacteria and yeast, which thrive in warm, moist environments.
-
Absorption: Cotton is absorbent and helps wick away moisture from the skin, keeping the vaginal area drier compared to synthetic fabrics like nylon or polyester. This can reduce the risk of developing infections caused by excess moisture.
-
Reduced Irritation: Cotton tends to be less irritating to sensitive skin compared to synthetic materials. It's less likely to cause friction or chafing, which can sometimes lead to skin irritation and create an environment conducive to infections.
-
Good Hygiene: Proper hygiene practices, such as regularly changing underwear, cleaning the genital area with mild, unscented soap, and wiping from front to back after using the bathroom, are crucial in preventing infections.
-
Avoiding Irritants: Avoid using harsh soaps, douches, or scented feminine hygiene products, as these can disrupt the natural balance of the vagina and increase the risk of infections.
-
Healthy Lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and practicing safe sex can also contribute to vaginal health and reduce the risk of infections.
