People have strong opinions about what style, cut, fabric and more are best for them, and some strongly believe that no underwear is the best underwear.

There are some surprising side effects of always wearing thongs or G-strings, and you definitely need to know more about them if thongs are your favourite.

Though some people find them to be the most uncomfortable underwear option, others prefer them for either comfort or aesthetic reasons. There certainly can be some issues with wearing thongs all the time, but not everyone who chooses to wear them has to worry about every single health side effect.

It's not just the amount of time that you are wearing a thong, there are a lot of other factors that can affect what sorts of issues you might deal with when it comes to wearing thong underwear. From the material a thong is made from, to the size and fit, there are a few things you need to take into consideration.

Below are some risks that wearing thongs may expose you to.

• Vaginal infections

Thongs can cause health problems for those who wear them regularly. The health issues start with urinary tract and vaginal infections. Thongs irritate and inflame the area around Bartholdi’s glands, which produce lubricant during intercourse. They claimed that if the ducts leading to the glands become hemmed, a cyst next to the vagina could form. Simply put, thongs irritate the vagina and do not allow it enough air space, which obviously reveals the harmful impact of the string.

• Yeast infection

According to one study, thongs can increase the chances of getting a yeast infection due to the extra moisture accumulated from the tight fit. A manufacturer of a medication used for the treatment of yeast infections, Vagisil, affirmed that thongs ought to be avoided because they cause yeast infections.

• Reactions of the skin

These are some of the results gotten from wearing G-strings: chafed skin, irritation, and infection. Chafed skin results when the thong rubs against the sensitivity of the skin. This can get infected and become very painful if not quickly noticed. The clitoris can also become irritated from the friction of the thong.
