A member asked:
I cut my bikini area shaving & was going to wear my husband's looser underwear for a few days.is it safe to wear his or can i get any infections?

It is safe: There should be no problem wearing clean underwear if it doesn't rub and irritate the area more. You should probably put some over the counter antibiotic ointment on the cut and cover it with a bandaid or gauze to keep it clean.
