Something I Never Thought About Before Today: What You Wear Down There When You Exercise.

Women's Health

 Cotton briefs, a G-string, commando... Does it matter? I never thought so. Then I read this, and now I'm not so sure.

The combination of heat, sweat, and friction in your nether regions is not only uncomfortable, it can be unhealthy. Tight and nonbreathable clothing traps heat and moisture, which can encourage the growth of candida, and lead to an unbearable yeast infection. That's not the only thing you have to worry about. When bacteria travels from back to front, it increases your risk for contracting an uncomfortable urinary tract infection (UTI) as well. These can both be prevented if you pay special attention to what you wear below the waist.

Sheesh! So what's the winner? Well it seems moisture-wicking undies like these Berlei Sports Boy-legs come up trumps and breathable cotton is the next best thing.
