Other conditions of the vaginal area, such as skin conditions or allergic reactions, can be confused with vaginitis. Sometimes a biopsy of the area is required to diagnose these. If you have recurrent vaginal symptoms, be sure to visit your health care provider.

ÜBER UNDIES—COTTON OUT, HIGH-TECH IN

For years, we have been told by our doctors and by the media to wear cotton underwear to avoid infection. Considered a “breathable” fabric, cotton was thought best for areas of the body where moisture might be an issue. I no longer subscribe to this cotton recommendation for skivvies. Although cotton is breathable, if it gets wet it’s slow to dry. With the advent of new clothing technology, there are now numerous sports-type fabrics on the market that are more breathable and quicker drying than cotton, and also more antimicrobial (which may help decrease yeast infections). Gynecologists are now recommending that women use underwear made from these fabrics.

Most athletic brands, such as Patagonia, Under Armour, REI, Adidas, and Nike, have excellent high-tech underwear in many different styles. There is a catch to these über undies, however: They’re expensive. You can get a pair of cotton underwear for less than $5, but you may have to pay upwards of $18 for a pair of high-tech panties. Because they’re quick drying and very durable, though, you can get away with buying just a few pairs and keeping them for longer. I try to take advantage of seasonal sales to get these undies at a more affordable price.
