Why You Shouldn't Wear Underwear When Working Out
Go commando?! Dr. Horton explained to POPSUGAR why she recommends not wearing underwear when working out."The vagina has normal [good] bacteria that prevents the overgrowth of bad bacteria like bacterial vaginosis and yeast. However, a warm wet environment after a sweat sesh can be a breeding ground for infection," she said. Wearing underwear adds another layer that can trap moisture and cause irritation, itching, and burning.
This includes thongs — ditch them, Dr. Horton said."The thong's friction and movement can introduce E. coli from the anus into the vagina and lead to potential urinary and vaginal infections," she said.Women wear workout clothes, even if they have no plans to work out, and Dr. Horton said whether you plan to work out or just lounge,"I recommend going commando and ditch the underwear.
"Materials like nylon and lycra can trap moisture and heat, which is a breeding ground for infections," Dr. Horton said. She added that cotton and seamless workout gear are going to be the most vagina-friendly, and can better prevent chafing and irritation, especially if you're wearing tight leggings. If you prefer shorts, wear ones with the underwear built in.
Not into going bare under your workout bottoms? While cotton underwear isn't a good choice because it stays wet, Dr. Horton said that moisture-wicking underwear is a great option. These underwear are usually lighter than your regular pair of undies and are generally made of polyester, nylon, or bamboo.
