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've basically have worn skinny jeans every day for the past 3 years and I've never once got a yeast infection. I think its only if you are in them day and night that you will get a yeast infection.

I wear skinny jeans 3 days a week, jeggings 1 day, and loose jeans the other two days.

I never wear the same skinny jeans for 2 days straight. I think its best to let things air our when you get home and when you go to sleep.
Does anyone know if completely shaving down there affects whether or not you will get a yeast infection?
I could see because of the direct contact and the tightness with the lack of air where it could make a difference.

Hey girlie,

Shaving can cause itching, but a lot of itching or burning can signify a yeast infection. Check out this post for more info: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/07/12/Itchy-down-there-after-my-period.aspx

I like this guy. He's always making a laugh in class with me being funny and all. Since we sit together by the teachers choosing, we do our work together. We have conversations and the teacher tells us to stop talking. Sometimes we look at each other, smile, and look away. I was being weird and he called me weird whilst laughing. The other day, i pointed out something in our science book i thought was cool and he told me he worries about me, joking of course. The same day, he gave me his candy that the teacher handed out in class. I'm not very good at this, but do you think he might like me? Thanks. x

Hey girlie,

It sounds like he might like you or at least want to get to know you as friends! If you're talking during class and getting in trouble, though, that's probably not a good idea, so maybe you could talk to him at lunch or after school or set up a study date since you have some of the same classes together. Once you spend more time with him as friends, you might get a better sense of whether or not he likes you as more than that!
