What are the health risks of women wearing men's underwear? on a regular instead of panties and so forth
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None!: Assuming they are clean. Most mens briefs are cotton and can be bleached when washed and sanitized. Women frequently ( even in my office) wear nylon, or polyester briefs, which cannot be thorughly lceaned, and are also non-absorbent. I recommend everyone were cotton briefs for daily wear. Sexual encounters-another matter!
