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.

    if they hurt when you walk, sit down, run, think, then they are to tight. buy things that are you size looking good is important but if you are looking good with an infection then where is the fun??

    I would say when you can't move comfortably in it, it's too tight.

    I guess if they are cutting into your skin or leaving really red marks or not allowing you to breath. or if your private area is outlines in detail, then they are definitly to tight! :)

    Why dress like a sex object? Wear what makes you comfortable.

    Be sure the clothes are your size or bigger on the scale.
