Are thong underwear a health hazard? Let's ask a professional...

Love them or hate them, thong underwear are a MUST wear for a lot of people, mostly women... 

There has been a lot of recent chatter that thongs are less hygienic than some other styles of undies – and that we shouldn't be wearing them. But Paul Nyirjesy, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Drexel University, says don’t worry about it. “If you like ‘em, wear ‘em.” No studies have found evidence of any increased health risks with thongs.

Dr. Nyirjesy does say we all need to keep things loose. No matter what style you prefer, boxers, briefs, bikini or thong, any undergarments that are tight enough to leave marks on the skin can irritate and damage sensitive tissue.
