The eternal nocturnal debate: underwear to sleep, yes or no?
Much has been said over the years about whether we should go to bed to enjoy sweet dreams with or without underwear. A debate that, for the moment, seems not to finish finding a clear answer in this regard.
If we ask our friends, some will tell us they don't wear underwear to sleep, others will say yes, and others will surprise us with the revelation that they wear 'special' panties for it. And by 'special' we mean that they are very light designs and soft fabrics to enjoy maximum comfort between snores.
But since the solution to this dilemma does not seem to be on the street, it is the experts who give their opinion on the matter. Dr. Sarah Welsh, a gynecologist and co-founder of HANX says: "Wearing underwear to bed can be okay if it allows air to flow freely and doesn't cause pain or excessive heat and humidity. Warm, humid areas can stimulate growth from infections such as yeast infections. Tight underwear can also lead to vaginitis, which is inflammation and pain of the vagina, including bacterial vaginosis. So whether day or night, I would avoid tight synthetic underwear. The interior acts as a barrier, protecting your clothing from vaginal discharge and blood, and also protecting your vulva and vagina from irritation from clothing."

However, the same specialist also approves not wearing underwear to sleep "always and when you don't sleep in very tight pajamas that would defeat the purpose of not wearing our underwear to bed."
In short, as Welsh explains, "if you create a vagina-positive environment at night, then it doesn't matter if it's underwear (breathable and loose-fitting, ideally) or 'commando.' It all comes down to to personal preference and what works for your body.
Now we can sleep peacefully.
