The most common cause of yeast/fungal infection of vagina is undergarments/thongs of women. These garments serve as a superhighway for microorganisms. When these underwears touch your perineum (the body part between the vagina and the anus), microbes travel from anal region to vagina. Thongs not only serve as conduits for bacteria and fungi but also tend to rub, causing tiny tears in the delicate skin around your vulva and clitoris, which facilitate harbouring of microbes. How To Solve The Problem: Don’t throw away your thongs instead use the ones made of cotton or with a cotton crotch. The cotton fabric has a breathing space and keeps you drier, so microbes can’t grow that easily. Hair serve as a harbour for bacteria and fungi hence it is recommended to keep the surrounding area clear of hair. You are advised not to wear thongs when you exercise, spend some money on workout bottoms with cotton crotches and go commando at night.
