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.

they should stay dry unless you have them in an unusually damp area, like a bathroom. Otherwise they should be good where they are.

I wash them weekly in the washer with my clothes, so they should be fine in that regard. They aren't waterproof, per se, more like..resistant. In my line I get a lot of fuel on my hands and this keeps most of it off, but there is definitely a dampness.

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

I'm not sure. I dried mine and they seem to be ok, but I've only worn them once.

I use them 2-3 times a week for Vaginal dryness. Yes they can be messy, but I just put on a panty shield until there's no more leak, I now it does sound icky, but it beat VD. Also I found that after awhile using them. I seem to get back my libido, as least for me it does and im 67. hope this helps.

They will absorb moisture although I don't know if it would help odor or not. We use them to keep scuba dive boots dry when stored and it keeps them from getting mildew smell.

Because they have leather in them I wash on gentle cycle, warm/cold settings and let air dry. I would not adivse putting in the dryer. I have had mine for several years and have no problems with them.Also I have a lady friend that is a body builder and she loves these gloves and has had no problems washing hers.

Have not had any mildew problem. Since they're made of polyester, they do not absorb moisture and should not provide a base for mildew to grow.

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

The outside can get damp depending on how much they go. I have had no problems with them becoming soaked or anything like that. I have not noticed any problems with skin breakdown or oder either. Hope this helps.

I do cold water and air dry only. They last over a year before they start to lose their fit. I never have issues with smell, shrinkage and weak or lazy fabric. It's the heat in the drier that really kills these.

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

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.

depends on what you mean by dry. One persons opinion on something may not be the same for somone else.my opinion, they are not soaking wet. They are like the towelettes you would find at a KFC to wash your finger tips.BTW .... these wipes work great at keeping your glasses from fogging up.I hope this answers your question.

I disagree. Since taking them, I've become completely regular and stress free with bowel movements. When I stop taking them, I'm less regular and have more trouble "with the go". I started taking them when I had a yeast infection and my doctor highly recommended one pill. Best advice I could have gotten.. I havent had a yeast infection in years. But at least with me, they help with "the go" process for sure. Its possible it may not assist in this area with everyone, but different things affect different people in different ways. There is NO wrong answer here :) And it sure beats "yogurt" going bad in the fridge! I disagree. Since taking them, I've become completely regular and stress free with bowel movements.
