Is wearing undies to bed good or bad for the vagina?

Dr. Richard Bensinger answered

Depends: While the vagina is terrific at keeping itself healthy given half a chance, there are things that can help. Wearing cotton undies with some absorptive qualities can assist in the cleaning and also help the skin in that area. Synthetics like nylon and satin have some degree of incubation capacity and if you have sensitivity in that area, you might consider the cotton alternative.
