How tight is too tight?

They say that wearing tight pants or underwear can lead to infections and other health problems. Just how tight is too tight for pants? And for underwear?

If you feel friction or chaffing with every movement, then its too tight. Also, it good to only wear cotton underwear!

It's true. All the women wearing the tight "hip huggers" as they
were called then, the 70's, and are of the same fashion now, can lead to infections. Your parents could tell you all about it.
To tight, is when you have to lay on your bed, to tuck in your
stomach, to button your pants. and when you stand up, you
look like this: %) and can hardly breath or walk. <}:-})

My Gynie told me to stop wearing tight fitting panties or thongs so that I can avoid having re-occurring infections.
I asked him the same question and he answered that "French Panties" or boxer shorts should be about as tight fitting as I should go.
I tried it and eventually found it much more comfortable to "go commando"...(Not to wear underwear at all).
Obviously on "those days" I do have to wear something underneath, so I wear french style panties and tampons then.
