Warning – The Danger In Your Underwear

You've been wearing underwear wrong your whole life.  Here are six underwear mistakes you might be making, that could me messing up your day.

1.  It's too tight.  It can cause a rash or irritation. Believe it or not, Spanx can actually be DANGEROUS if it's too tight.  It can lead to pinched nerves and decreased circulation. Duh.

2.  Silk and synthetic fabrics.  Some don't breathe very well, and that increases the risk of moisture being trapped and that can cause a bacterial infection. Yuck.

3.  Going 'commando.'  Yep, the seam of your pants will irritate sensitive areas and I'm not even going to mention zippers.  But most experts say you SHOULD go commando at night, so things down there can air out. Awesome.

4.  Sweating.  If you sweat a lot, you should change your underwear twice a day.  A warm, moist environment is the perfect place for stuff you don't want happening. Ew.

5.  Non-hypoallergenic detergent.  Even if you don't have sensitive skin, your personal area might be sensitive.  If you get itchy down there, it might be caused by your detergent or dryer sheets.

6.  Thongs.  One expert says quote, "Thongs can be a unique transport vehicle for bacteria from the back to the front."  Meaning, E. coli from your backside can spread to your frontside personal parts. That's not hot.
