Are You Wearing Your Underwear Correctly?

I know a lot of y'all are looking at this and saying, Monique, what are you talking about??

Seriously, a lot of people, especially us ladies like wearing sexy underclothes, however, it may not be good for us! Take a look at this list of five common underwear mistakes.

1.  Not wearing cotton.  Silk and synthetic fabrics don't breathe like cotton does, which can create a breeding ground for bacteria.

2.  Wearing the wrong size.  Underwear that's too big looks saggy and messy.  But too-tight underwear is even WORSE because it can cause chafing and irritation.

3.  Wearing them to bed.  It keeps that area from getting air . . . and there's the possibility of trapped moisture causing problems.

4.  Putting them in the dryer.  The heat in a dryer breaks down fabrics, so the elastic in your waistband will stretch out over time.  It's better to air dry them.

5.  Not buying new ones.  A recent study found that you should be throwing out your underwear and buying new ones about every YEAR.  It's because bacteria like E. coli can build-up even if you wash them regularly, and can cause some nasty infections.

So now, learning all of this, I ask again...are you wearing your underwear correctly??
