We all know that wearing the same pair of pants two days in a row is a big no-no however, it seems that there are plenty of other mistakes you can make when it comes to knickers.
我们都知道连续两天穿同一条内裤是非常错误的，但是在内裤上你似乎还会犯许多其他错误。
Speaking to Octavia Cannon, a board-certified OBGYN (Obstetrics and Gynecology), says that there are six major mistakes women make when it comes to their knicker drawer.
据奥克塔维亚·卡农（她是一名委员会认证的妇产科医生）表示，女性在内裤上会犯6个大错。
1. THONGS SHOULD BE AVOIDED
1、不要穿丁字裤。
While they add a certain sex appeal, wearing thongs and g-strings could have serious health implications.
虽然丁字裤可以让你很性感，但是会给你带来严重的健康影响。
Doctor Cannon warned that E. Coli can be transferred from your bottom to your vagina.
卡农医生警告说，大肠杆菌会进入你的小妹妹里。
2. OPT FOR COTTON OVER SILKS
2、选择棉质内衣。
It is true that the most attractive underwear is usually in an array of silk and lace however they should be saved for special occasions only.
的确，很多漂亮的内衣都是丝绸或者蕾丝材质的，但是你应该只在特殊场合才穿它们。
Dr Cannon says that you should be opting for a breathable fabric like cotton to avoid infection.
卡农医生指出，应该选择更透气的棉织物，从而避免感染。
3. CHANGE YOUR UNDERWEAR AFTER A WORKOUT
3、运动后一定要换内衣。
It may not seem obvious to bring along a spare pair of pants to the gym but Dr Cannon says it is completely necessary.
可能很少有人去健身房的时候会携带一条备用内裤，但是卡农医生说这是完全有必要的。
’Yeast and bacteria love a warm, moist, dark environment,’ says Cannon pointing out that sweaty pants fit this description.
卡农医生说：“酵母和细菌很希望温暖、潮湿和黑暗的环境”，而运动后被汗打湿的内裤正是这样。
4. DITCH SCENTED DETERGENT
4、不要用有香味的洗涤剂。
While a floral scented washing powder adds a fresh smell to your underwear but they could cause havoc in your intimate area.
虽然花香味洗衣粉会让你的内衣闻起来棒棒哒，但是这可能会在你的私密部位造成一场大灾难。
The chemicals used to provide the smell can be irritating to your vagina where your skin is most sensitive.
增添香味的化学物质会刺激你的小妹妹，因为那里的皮肤最敏感。
5. BUY PANTS THAT FIT!
5、内裤大小一定合适！
This may seem obvious but we are probably all slightly guilty of hanging on to a pair of undies that we now have to squeeze into.
这一点似乎是显而易见的，但是事实上女人们都会悄悄选择小一些的内衣。
Dr Cannon says ’If your panties are leaving marks on your skin, you are putting yourself at risk for vaginal infections and rashes.’
卡农医生表示说：“如果你的内裤紧到可以在身上留下勒痕，那你的小妹妹就可能会感染和患上皮疹。”
6. DON’T REPEAT WEARS
6、不要反复穿同一条内裤。
There may the odd occasion when it is sorely tempting to fish a pair of pants out of the laundry basket, however Dr Cannon confirms this is a bad idea.
有时你可能会因为某些原因不得已从脏衣篮里拿出一条内裤继续穿，但是卡农医生指出这真的是个坏主意。
Dirty underwear provides the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and can put you at risk of infection - even if you do turn them inside out.
脏内衣是细菌的完美滋生地，可能会让你感染——即使你把它们翻过来。
