Growing up, we've all heard stories from our friends or our moms—scary anecdotes of someone who got something from wearing a thong, ruining her life forever. But it's so hard to give up the super-handy no-VPL undies! Luckily, for most people who are in good health, thongs are fairly low-risk. But, just in case, here are three things to look out for when shopping for (and picking out) your daily panties. 1. Choosing cotton is key to preventing infections—and we're not just talking about the crotch panel! "We should all always be wearing all-cotton underwear," Stamford Hospital ob-gyn Dr. Shieva Ghofrany tells the Huffington Post. "When patients say [to me], 'But the crotch is cotton,' my response is that the layer outside the crotch is not, thus making the cotton less breathable and thus allowing more moisture to be trapped and more possible imbalance leading to infections." 2. When your undies move, that's when germs travel. "If you have a little bacteria—E. coli is the most common bacteria in the colon—in the back part of the fabric and you're physically active, that material may move," associate professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology and women's health at Albert Einstein College
