Women wear thongs for many reasons.
Apart from being sleazy, women like thongs because you can't see their panty lines.
Yes, thongs are gorgeous.
Yes, they look sexy on women but they should come with a warning label.
Many gynaecologists in the US have found that yeast infections are common amongst women who wear thongs.
A fungus called Candida albicans causes vaginal yeast infections.
Although it is not life-threatening, they can be very uncomfortable.
Thongs are harmful because they irritate and inflame the area around the Bartholin's glands, which produce lubricant during intercourse.
If the ducts that lead to the glands get hemmed, you could also develop a cyst next to your vagina.
Simply put, thongs irritate the vagina and not allowing it enough air or space.
Thongs can also cause small lacerations which can invite infections.
Worse, the small string on a thong allows the anus and vagina to be connected with each other.
The thong as a link will carry bacteria from the rectum straight to your vagina.
Bacteria such as group B Streptococcal disease and E.
coli can be passed into both the anus and vagina.
Former top model, Elle Macpherson, was reported in the media to have said: "Thongs are not only uncomfortable but unsanitary and dangerous.
Women who persist in wearing them are risking infection and infertility.
" Tips on Thongs:

• Do not wear your thongs 24 hours each day.
  
• Make sure your thongs are not super-tight.
  
• Do not wear thongs made of spandex, lycra and nylon.
  
• Wear only thongs made of cotton.
  
• Do not sleep in thongs or other tight panties overnight.
  There is still movement during your sleep and this can agitate areas of the vagina and the anus in women.
