Remember back in high school when thongs were the hot new thing?  Walking through the halls were virtually impossible without noticing some of the more “daring” girls with their thong straps half way up their backs!  Not cute at all!  I love thongs, they’re sexy and are great confidence boosters whether your getting ready for a hot date or just want to feel good while you run errands, take care of the kids or to get threw a long day at work.

We’ve all seen it, and yes its tasteless but they and almost every woman reading this who owns or wears a pair a thongs on a regular basis have exposed ourselves to risks one may have never considered. Despite this  ”Granny panties” or so they’ve been dubbed, have long moved into the background as the thong reigns supreme amongst women young and old alike.

However silly it may sound the health risks associated with thing underwear are very real.  As comfortable or uncomfortable as some may find them, thongs can give you a lot more than panty line free backside in your favourite pair of jeans.

• 1.  Yeast Infections:  The dreaded yeast infection, inflammation of the skin down south can cause the yeast levels to be accelerated causing an increase in discharge, which can be inconvenient and uncomfortable.
• 2. Vaginal and urinary tract infections: The constant rubbing of delicate exposed skin can be torn, opening up the possibility of infection even urinary tract infections.
• 3. Hemorrhoids:  Thongs can also irritate any existing hemorrhoids or even worsen them with ongoing contact.
• 4. Bacterial Infection: Probably the most jarring effect of wearing a thong is the fact that the thong strap essentially becomes a path for fecal matter to travel on literally from point “A” to point “B”.  Not a substance you want in the wrong place!
• 5. Exercise in a thong is an absolute no no.  The increased moisture and silky material which most of the good thongs are made of can increase your chances of catching one of these annoying infections!

For safe practice it may be wise to keep the thong panties on the “back burner” no pun intended, and opt for brazilin cuts, boy cut or full coverage panties which allow air to pass threw, and do not aid in the transport of these ugly little problems.

It saddens me to say but thongs should be considered risky business, and I’m sure Gynecologists’ at large will agree.  I don’t intend on throwing out my wears but being smart about it is definitely up on the horizon.

Ever suffer from one of these aliments because of your thong?  Think you’ll be ditching them for some grannies?
