Do these tend to cause yeast infections or is the quick drying, breathability of them prevent them?

I prefer this underwear when im hiking, backpacking, working out or when I know I will be sweating a lot. They are made of the quick drying material and dry ultra fast. Cotton is comfortable until it gets wet. Then is sticky anf takes forever to dry. I also take this underware when im traveling. Since they dry so fast I can just wash every day and pack less.

Personally I feel dryer with a cotton or a Target brand micro fiber. I love the bra from this brand but I am very disappointed in the underwear performance both on and off the body. They are very expensive and I do not see the benefits of them wearing dryer or drying that much quicker when hand washed.

I typically wear cotton, but use these for traveling when I'll be doing a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, etc. I wore both cotton & these in Costa Rica & these were far superior in wicking & drying after washing. My cotton ones were all sweaty & stuck to me. I'd guess these would prevent the yeasty beasties if you're sweating & continue wearing them more so than cotton.

Yeah I have washed them with a mild shampoo and it was fine. Hope this helped

You don't have to use a dryer sheet with these, and that helps reduce airborne chemicals in your home. My mom has pulmonary fibrosis, and she uses these with no problems.

As best I can tell,yes. They dry extremely quickly. I use them in lieu of paper towels. Super absorbent, easily washed and dried.

Yes, I consider them breathable. They are a lightweight mesh. See through and smell through!

I always let them air dry. I wash them frequently and love them. Best gardening gloves ever.

They are fast drying and worked well, but I can't say recall getting anything on the skin that was noticed. If it did, I must not have had a problem removing it.

Hi, I believe they are. Remember they are cottons and cottons absorb sweat pretty good. I use it and works well for me. I hope I answered your Q.

Yes very quick-drying! I have several pair in different styles and I also have shorts in same fabric! They feel great on!

not that I know of .... I always hand wash them and let them air dry. I keep two sets so when one is drying, I can use the other.

Yes, your feet will sweat in these. There are no vents and the plastic is not breathable, so the sweat will not evaporate as quickly as if you were wearing a porous material. But the nice thing is you can rinse out the inside after you wear them and let dry to reduce smells.

Not a problem here. I wouldn't put them through a sanitize cycle, but a plain hot wash/cold rinse/air dry has worked perfectly for us.

We had the same problem. After several weeks of usage our 12-year old's pair stunk so bad we wouldn't allow them in the house. We finally soaked them in a tub with OxyClean and then washed them, thinking that they either had to get clean, get ruined, or be thrown away. The smell went away after the washing and they seem to be okay. But there's clearly something about the material that holds moisture and stench. They are not very breathable at all.

Haven't been using them that long with my 20 month old but I've never had leakage issues. They are one of my favorite. Prewash wash hot, 2x rinse and dry on low. They dry super fast.

I used one as a lingerie bag, on the gentle cycle. I don't recall offhand if they *are*, but I think if you put them all into one bag and used gentle cycle, minimal or no soap, air dry they would be fine.

No, they are not antibacterial. They are microfiber which means that they will dry quickly which will cut down on bacterial growth.

I've been washing them on the highest heat with steam and adding vinegar. Dry them on my normal dry setting. No issues yet, I've washed mine about 10 times so far and no problems
