Hello! I am 19 years old and I have a question for you. I am wearing thongs and they are made from fabric satin and silk. My mother telling me every day that I should not wear thongs, but if I wear it then they should be made from cotton. She told me that silk and satin fabrics are contributing to UTIs. Is this really true? Thank you in advance!
Hello! I am afraid that your mother is right. This underwear can contribute to urinary tract infection. Point is that silk and satin fabrics can cause problems with acid environment in your vagina which (if it is not treated) leads to urinary tract infection. Actually, this underwear can destroy acid environment and good bacteria in it, so, they cannot defend your body from bad bacteria. I think that you should listen to your mother regarding this.
