Leggings = Your Vagina’s Worst Nightmare

Anyone else feel like they are living in a vicious cycle of yeast infections and vaginal infections? I know that when I was younger it felt like a vicious cycle that would never end. My doctor told me that as long as I was wearing leggings and sweating all the time I would have a hard time shaking the problem.

One of the best things I did for myself back then was stop wearing leggings. The compression leggings offers is great for workout giggle, but it creates a breading ground for bacteria. The damp tight space isn't doing your vagina any favors. A lot of leggings advertise themselves as being quick drying, but if you wear them with underwear the lining of the crotch is usually cotton. While this is good and breathable, when it gets wet and sealed in with your lycra, it's hard for it to dry.

So about 4 years ago I switched to wearing joggers (my fave are the Athleta Salutation). I bought them in every color and if I know I can't change IMMEDIATELY after my workout, you'll find me in those. They are way more breathable and much looser in the crotch.
