Will my skinny jeans give me a yeast infection?

One day I came home from school and I was wearing a pair of skinny jeans. My mom told me to change. I had a lot of homework to do, so I didn't. She told me later that if I didn't change into something less tight, I would get a vagina infection. Is that true?

 

Your mom is right about this one, babe. Our generation’s penchant for increasingly tight pants has also increased the likelihood that you could get a yeast infection down there. Why? Well, think about it this way: The tighter your clothes fit, the less able your vagina becomes to “air out”. That allows the good bacteria to multiply way too fast, causing not-so-good things to happen.

 

While wearing your skinnies to school probably won’t hurt ya, it’s a good idea to change up your look from day to day, and to change into looser-fitting clothes when you get the chance.

I'm 11 and a half, I've had my discharge for almost 2-3 years, and my family has a history of early bloomers, will I get my period soon?
Thanx a 1,000,000!!! x0x0




Hey babe,

You can't base your period on your family history! It's true that it might have an effect, but you could also get your period at 15 or later and still be completely healthy. Since you've had discharge for a while and seem to be on track, you could get it soon...but it's impossible to really predict it. Just be patient, be prepared, and try not to worry about it. You know you're ready when it does come!

so today when I went to the restroom today, I saw some brown stuff in my undies where discharge usually goes. Then when I wiped, my discharge as brown, but not my urine. My vagina doesn't itch or stink. Is this normal?!
Thanx 1,000,000!!! x0x0x0




Hey girlie,

Totally normal! Sometimes discharge changes color, but sometimes this could also be the start of your period! It's normal for it to begin lightly and in a brown/light pink color, then change to heavy red. Keep an eye on it Smile

Unless you sleep in skinny jeans, I highly doubt this will happen.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
