Choosing underwear may seem like a fairly unimportant task. Do you prioritize aesthetics, comfort, or health? Shazia Malik, a gynecologist, quoted in the blog aggregator Huffpost, explains that there is a type of panties that increases the risk of infections: those made of lace.
More specifically, "lace underwear itself is not inherently bad for vaginal health, however, lace is typically made of synthetic, non-breathable materials like nylon or polyester".

These are fabrics capable of "trapping heat and moisture against the vulva" and have a negative impact on the "bacteria that keep the vagina healthy".
In addition, "the warm, moist environment can increase the risk of irritation and infections such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections in some women".
Taking this into account, she states that the healthiest choices are panties made of natural and breathable fibers, especially in the crotch area.
