你穿對內褲了嗎？

We all know that wearing the same pair of pants two days in a row is a big no-no however, it seems that there are plenty of other mistakes you can make when it comes to knickers.

我們都知道連續兩天穿同一條內褲是非常錯誤的，但是在內褲上你似乎還會犯許多其他錯誤。

Speaking to Octavia Cannon, a board-certified OBGYN (Obstetrics and Gynecology), says that there are six major mistakes women make when it comes to their knicker drawer.

據奧克塔維亞·卡農（她是一名委員會認證的婦產科醫生）表示，女性在內褲上會犯6個大錯。

1. THONGS SHOULD BE AVOIDED

1、不要穿丁字褲。

While they add a certain sex appeal, wearing thongs and g-strings could have serious health implications.

雖然丁字褲可以讓你很性感，但是會給你帶來嚴重的健康影響。

Doctor Cannon warned that E. Coli can be transferred from your bottom to your vagina.

卡農醫生警告說，大腸桿菌會進入你的小妹妹里。

2. OPT FOR COTTON OVER SILKS

2、選擇棉質內衣。

It is true that the most attractive underwear is usually in an array of silk and lace however they should be saved for special occasions only.

的確，很多漂亮的內衣都是絲綢或者蕾絲材質的，但是你應該只在特殊場合才穿它們。

Dr Cannon says that you should be opting for a breathable fabric like cotton to avoid infection.

卡農醫生指出，應該選擇更透氣的棉織物，從而避免感染。

3. CHANGE YOUR UNDERWEAR AFTER A WORKOUT

3、運動后一定要換內衣。

It may not seem obvious to bring along a spare pair of pants to the gym but Dr Cannon says it is completely necessary.

可能很少有人去健身房的時候會攜帶一條備用內褲，但是卡農醫生說這是完全有必要的。

』Yeast and bacteria love a warm, moist, dark environment,』 says Cannon pointing out that sweaty pants fit this description.

卡農醫生說：「酵母和細菌很希望溫暖、潮濕和黑暗的環境」，而運動后被汗打濕的內褲正是這樣。

4. DITCH SCENTED DETERGENT

4、不要用有香味的洗滌劑。

While a floral scented washing powder adds a fresh smell to your underwear but they could cause havoc in your intimate area.

雖然花香味洗衣粉會讓你的內衣聞起來棒棒噠，但是這可能會在你的私密部位造成一場大災難。

The chemicals used to provide the smell can be irritating to your vagina where your skin is most sensitive.

增添香味的化學物質會刺激你的小妹妹，因為那裡的皮膚最敏感。

5. BUY PANTS THAT FIT!

5、內褲大小一定合適！

This may seem obvious but we are probably all slightly guilty of hanging on to a pair of undies that we now have to squeeze into.

這一點似乎是顯而易見的，但是事實上女人們都會悄悄選擇小一些的內衣。

Dr Cannon says 』If your panties are leaving marks on your skin, you are putting yourself at risk for vaginal infections and rashes.』

卡農醫生表示說：「如果你的內褲緊到可以在身上留下勒痕，那你的小妹妹就可能會感染和患上皮疹。」

6. DON』T REPEAT WEARS

6、不要反覆穿同一條內褲。

There may the odd occasion when it is sorely tempting to fish a pair of pants out of the laundry basket, however Dr Cannon confirms this is a bad idea.

有時你可能會因為某些原因不得已從臟衣籃里拿出一條內褲繼續穿，但是卡農醫生指出這真的是個壞主意。

Dirty underwear provides the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and can put you at risk of infection - even if you do turn them inside out.

臟內衣是細菌的完美滋生地，可能會讓你感染——即使你把它們翻過來。
