Do you wear pants to bed? Many women would likely answer in the affirmative. However, experts say when a woman does so on a daily basis when it’s not necessarily because she is having her period, there may be untoward side effects to it!Physicians aver that the female genital needs to breathe in order to maintain its PH levels and prevent fungi and odour. And that’s why doctors advise going bare below when it’s bed time at the close of day. Part of the problem, says Family Physician, Dr. Grace Obong, is that during the day, women wear a variety of panties and tight outfits that hardly allow their privates to breathe. She says though it’s advisable and absolutely preferable to wear cotton panties, many women still opt for polyester panties, with the attendant heating up of the genital area while the day lasts. And as for those who may not like to go to sleep without having pants on, Obong recommends wearing of boxers or pyjamas. Bacterial v@ginosis Talking about the need to maintain the PH levels of the v@gina, experts at womenshealth.gov say the vagina normally has a balance of mostly “good” bacteria and fewer “harmful” bacteria. However, a condition, called bacterial vaginosis, develops when the balance changes.


“With BV, there is an increase in harmful bacteria and a decrease in good bacteria. BV is the most common v@ginal infection in women of child-bearing age,” the portal enthuses. Obong says women with BV may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odour, while some women may

complain of a strong fish-like odour, especially after s3x.


“The discharge can be white (milky) or gray. It may also be foamy or watery. Other symptoms may include burning when urinating, itching around the outside of the v@gina, and irritation; while some women with BV have no symptoms at all,” she adds. Yeast infection To further underscore the negative effects of wearing panties to bed, online portal, Medline Plus, also notes that too much

moist in the female genital area can lead to v@ginal yeast infection, most commonly due to the fungus Candida albicans. “Wearing tight underwear or a pair made from polyester or some other material that doesn’t breathe can lock in moisture and lead to yeast infections,” the warning goes.


Again, Certified S3xuality Counselor, Evelyn Resh, says, “I do not recommend that women wear underwear to bed. Taking a break from underwear for the eight or so hours that you’re asleep gives

you an opportunity to ‘air-out’ down there! Best to have an underwear-free zone while sleeping.” And while yeast infection is not a s3xually transmitted illness, physicians say some men will develop symptoms such as itching and a rash on the p3nis after having s3xual contact with an infected partner.

The symptoms of yeast infection are as obnoxious as they are embarrassing, and they include abnormal v@ginal discharge, which ranges from a slightly watery, white discharge to a thick, white, chunky

discharge; painful intercourse, painful urination, redness and swelling of the vulva; and itching in the v@gina and the labia. You may also feel burning sensation when you have yeast infection.


Go natural The online physician, Dr. Mehmet Oz, counsels, “It’s time to go au naturel. You don’t want it to be so moist down there. Let it dry out a little bit.” The reason for this timely advice, Oz says, is because the underpants can abrade on your skin a little bit, and can cause pimples. And you don’t want that.
