Thongs – the popularity of skimpy underwear
Thongs are tightly cut panties with a thin stripe between the buttocks and a small triangle at the front. The first lingerie of this type was designed in the 30s for female dancers, when the ban on naked appeared.
They gained popularity in the 70s on Brazilian beaches, allowing you to sunbathe your entire body evenly. One of the advantages of wearing thongs is that you do not stand out under your clothes, which works especially in summer, when you choose tight or light clothes that emphasize the figure.
Wearing thongs and hemorrhoids
The most common causes of hemorrhoids are constipation, diarrhea, anal sexual intercourse, pregnancy, childbirth, overweight, and genetic predisposition. Although wearing thongs does not directly cause hemorrhoids, it can intensify pain or an unpleasant burning or itching sensation, so in such situations it is not recommended to put them on.
Do you want to relieve unpleasant symptoms? We recommend Anusir ointment, which supports the treatment of hemorrhoids, leaving a delicate film on the skin to support regeneration.
Wearing thongs and urinary tract infections
As in the case of hemorrhoids, regular wearing of thongs does not directly contribute to the development of urinary tract infections, but may increase their risk, especially in the fall and winter.
This is because E. coli bacteria can move on a thin, moist strip towards the urethra. For this reason, it is worth giving up thongs if you notice symptoms such as blood in the urine, pressure on the bladder or pain while urinating.
Wearing thongs and intimate infections
Thongs are most often made of synthetic materials that do not allow air to pass through. In addition, they also require washing at lower temperatures, which may prevent yeasts, fungi and bacteria from being completely eliminated.
Such conditions increase the risk of intimate infections, especially vaginal mycosis. For this reason, when wearing a thong, it is worth paying attention to whether the color of the vaginal discharge has changed or if you do not experience any discomfort when urinating.

Wearing thongs and chafing
Wearing thongs on a regular basis can cause chafing or a rash, which makes the intimate areas more susceptible to bacteria and fungi than when you wear underwear that covers your buttocks. Therefore, if we notice changes in their area, it is worth making an appointment with a gynecologist.
When should you not wear a thong?
Thongs are not recommended during menstruation because the pH of the vagina increases during this time, which promotes the growth of bacteria. Skimpy underwear should also not be worn during training.
Tight leggings or pants in combination with thongs and intensive training make us sweat more, which can be a straightforward path to the development of intimate infections. In addition, the risk of gynecological problems increases during pregnancy, so it is worth giving up thongs in favor of comfortable cotton underwear.
Safety while wearing thongs – how to take care of them?
These contraindications do not mean that you should completely give up wearing thongs. Gynecologists say that it should be treated like high heels – put on from time to time, not every day. It is also worth paying attention to what material they are made of – it’s better to choose cotton panties.
However, you should take care of the safety of intimate places when putting them on. Hygiene is very important in this case, and therefore the use of delicate gels and foams for washing. We recommend a particularly soothing intimate hygiene gel with Vianek calendula, which does not irritate and does not cause allergies, as well as the Green Laboratory cleansing cream with tea tree oil that has anti-inflammatory properties and prevents the development of bacterial infections.
You should also not forget to change the underwear every day, and to wash it at the right temperature, in which all bacteria and fungi are destroyed.
