Why Switching Over To Cotton Undies Is Best For You?

The right pair of pants can make the difference between a good and a bad day, they can boost your confidence and a comfortable pair of pants makes everyone happy right? Cotton undies are the best…

Why is cotton the best for you?

In a perfect world, our underwear would be made of nothing but cotton, but most people wear pairs that are at least lined with the natural fabric. If you’re not one of them, it’s time to go shopping, especially if you’re someone who often finds themselves with some type of infection or irritation down there.

Lace, polyester, and other synthetic fabrics can hold in moisture and heat, which can not only cause irritation but create the perfect environment for bacteria and fungus to hang around in. Unfortunately, even silk is a culprit.

Try to stick with underwear made from the only cotton as much as you can, or at least make sure it’s lined with cotton. If you have to wear underwear made from other materials or you refuse to get rid of your favourite cotton-free pair, try to save them only for special occasions or for shorter nights out.

What does cotton fabric do?

Cotton is a material that helps your vagina prevent excessive moisture and increase its ability to breathe. Cotton panties come in many stylish designs, shapes and sizes.


Yeast infections can happen to any woman at any time. If you are suffering from a yeast infection, avoid wearing restricted clothing made of latex or polyester. These materials help promote the growth of yeast within your vagina. Warmth and moisture will also contribute to the yeast infection because they make your vagina have the perfect environment to overgrow yeast within it.

Cotton underwear will ventilate and eliminate yeast production from your vagina.

To relieve yourself of itching, try not to wear skirts, shorts or underwear not made of cotton.

Another way cotton underwear improves women’s health is through odour prevention. Cotton is able to absorb excess moisture and remove the build-up of heat from your vagina to prevent odour.


In fact, cotton is one of the very few materials that become stronger when wet and it can be sterilized after use. Cotton underwear is definitely must have underwear for summer because of the high humidity. By wearing cotton underwear night and day, your vaginal area will keep dry.

Also a great benefit of wearing cotton is alleviating irritation. It is able to do this because it is a hypoallergenic material. Always remember when purchasing cotton underwear to wash before wearing them the first time. Cotton underwear comes in brief, bikini, thong, regular cut, and boy shorts. Mix and match colors and patterns to wear with any type of outfit.
