Healthy Living Tips

You might think that your tight new jeans look good on you, but you’ll also have to face up to the reality that you might just be paving the way for yourself to suffer from a yeast attack.

Just as wearing those pantyhose and that synthetic manmade-fiber underwear will. Sometimes the payment for looking good is too much as you almost definitely won’t be feeling good into the bargain.

And just like the wet swimsuits that I mentioned earlier, if you’re prone to suffer from yeast infections, then the very last thing that you will want to do is to promote it.

So stay away from tight clothing that won’t let you – and your vagina – breathe, and stick as far as possible to clothing that’s loose and which will encourage a through flow of fresh air.

Remember that yeast likes to grow in places that are dark and damp. By wearing tight fitting clothing you’re giving it the very things that it needs to grow without hindrance.

The same thing goes for wearing manmade fibers. Things like underwear made of nylon definitely won’t let your vagina or other parts of you breathe the way that they should. For that you should wear natural fiber underwear, with cotton being the best of your choices.

There’s a reason that manufacturers of underwear are required to sew cotton crotches onto the underwear they manufacture. The fact that the cotton piece they put in is miniscule beyond recognition is another matter entirely. At this point it’s up to you to get yourself some good sensible cotton underwear for the duration of your infection. It might go against the grain to go cotton in your underwear selection, but this is much better than the alternative that you’re faced with.

Having said that, even though you’re wearing cotton underwear and loose fitting clothing there’s something else that you should take into account. And that’s the fact that despite all these precautions you really should change your underwear as often as possible during the times when you have a yeast infection. This leaves less time for the moisture and warmth to accumulate more yeast bacteria. And if you’re wearing a pad, tampon, or a panty liner, you should change that as frequently as possible as well.
