Though thongs and g-strings are aa very popular panty among women, it can pose a health risk. It has been noted that women who wear these types of under garments stand a higher risk of developing bacterial and viral infections. Women may experience yeast infections, chaffing, bacterial infections, and urinary tract infections as a result of the design of the thong and g-string.

Yes, they are very stylish, but it is unfortunate that this research has come to the conclusion that it has.
Thank you all for your comments!

It is interesting to know but everytime and every year that something new is trendy some specialist has to say that it can be dangerous. It happen for the mobile phone, for jeans, for other clothes. It can be but how can be sure?

The way that the research went, was it did have to do with the fact that it sticks and builds up moisture and warmth...pretty unique..but, I agree..they are rather uncomfortable.

Well I certainly didn't hear that before. You've put be off wearing them now, not that I wore them that much before I suppose, thanks for the information.

Yes, tonight is the first time that I have heard this information as well. I was quite surprised to hear it, but the research made sense.
Thank you for posting to my discussion.

This is pretty gorss! But then again, I was never into wearing them for the sake of wearing them. I only wore thongs when I was young, cute, and wearing something that would reveal my pantyline.
Nowadays, smooth, soft material in a flattering cut works just as well. But I am not wearing the same kinds of clothes!
Honestly though, I think more of the problem with infection and such other discomforts connected to wearing thongs have more to do with the lack of thorough cleanliness of the woman in that area, and not the underwear itself.
