Health risk with G-string pants
`G-string knickers can damage the skin and cause infections, experts in Germany have warned women.
Dr Thomas Gent of the Association of Gynaecologists advised women to wear bigger pants to avoid complications.
He blamed the friction caused by the string part of the underwear for a big rise in the number of patients he had seen reporting genital inflammation.
A UK gynaecologist said it was the ill-fit rather than the underwear type that was the likely root of problem.’
