Why should you never sleep in panties?

"at night, you Don't keep your sweater or gloves, there's no reason to keep your panties," says Jean-Marc Bohbot, an infectious physician and andrologist, in his book "vaginal Microbiota: the rose Revolution". This logic, however, is questionable for some women, who will prefer to wear panties rather than sleep naked.

But if nudity bothers you, the specialist insists: even if the panties seem comfortable to you, "on the contrary, it is forbidden". Irritations, mycosis, cystitis... Jean-Marc Bohbot reviews all the dangers of underwear.

When it itches and tickles

Are there any irritations preventing you from joining Morpheus in the Land of dreams? Your panties could be the cause of your itching. "[she] causes mechanical irritation due to numerous rubbing of the tissue against the genitals, which can be very unpleasant, especially if the woman has a fragile vulva," explains the doctor. Far from being an ideal pajamas, underwear causes a burning sensation in the private parts.

A real nest of bacteria

Another cause of discomfort is the proliferation of mycosis around the vulva. Fine lingerie would in fact be the ideal environment for the development of bacteria: "underwear, especially synthetic underwear, increases the heat of the vulva and retains moisture. It promotes the development of micro-organisms such as fungi", says the infectious scientist.

Even the sweetest white panties are not recommended by the specialist, who says that "cotton will absorb all the moisture and create vaginal dryness". The thinner thong allows the genitals to breathe. However, it is not without danger: if it does not cause mycosis, the thong can delay recovery if you already have one.

Go to the bathroom, real fighter's route

A frequent need to go to the bathroom, pain when urinating? It's synonymous with cystitis. In this case, Jean-Marc Bohbot strictly forbids the wearing of panties which "can promote the transition of germs that come from the intestine, via the anus or bladder, to the vulva and thus cause urinary infections".

And even if you're not already infected, it's better not to tempt the devil, the doctor would say to us: "just because you haven't had a problem doesn't mean you'll never have one," he warns. His message is clear: "liberate your genitals."

If you Don't want to sleep naked, there are other types of underwear adapted to your needs: a large pyjamas bottom, a nightgown or a boxer... Even the male underwear, the underpants, can replace the vile panties. In other words, even if "the friction is less, it does exist with this type of clothing," the specialist concludes.
