[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 482350, member: 1233"] Tight pants are bad. So are undies that are not cotton. Not jsut cotton lined, COTTON. They can have a little lycra or whatever, but at least 95% cotton. One aunt swore by nylon undies. No lines on her pants. LOTS of UTIs, yeast infections, etc..... I finally convinced her to try changing to cotton undies and taking acidophilus and she has had very few since then. she also MUST MUST MUST avoid scented tampons/pads at ALL costs. They are PROVEN to cause all sorts of infections and problems. If she douches, she needs to stop. Even plain water douching is not good for you. The store bought ones that are scented are just. plain. evil. Your body is self cleaning up there - jsut like your ear or nose. You do a LOT more harm with a douche than you do help. If you have a bad odor that won't go away, then you need a doctor, not a douche. I never even thought of this until recently the topic came up with one of J's friends. The girl kept getting sick and it was from douching. If a good ob/gyn tells you to douche for a certain health problem, then do it, but otherwise do NOT. Not even the vinegar and water ones that are marketed as "healthy" for cleaning after sex. they are NOT. by the way, douching after sex makes you MORE likely to get pregnant. Seems some kids still think it is a form of birth control - there were a LOT of dropped jaws when the nurse told parents this way back at the parent meeting before the kdis had sex ed. Seems many of the moms still thought it was a good idea. I am all for Azo IF you also go to the doctor to get treatment. Dealing with the symptoms is good, but you still need treatment. [/QUOTE]
