Kinda gross

So I read this article awhile ago but it has really good advice on an embarassing subject. The underwear you wear during your workout is pretty important. Think back to highschool when you'd be giggling about the boys and their issues with jock straps and jock itch. Well...unfortunately girls can get a form of this as well. Any part of a body that is dark and damp from sweat will eventually have issues with itching. In the nether regions we are more prone to developing a type of bacteria (a.e.- the bacteria that is known as jock itch or the reason for jock itch). It is important to keep this area cleanafter our workouts ... and dry. One way to avoid the J.I. is to not wear thongs while you exercise. Choose an underwear that doesn't sit so close against certain areas and wear breathable fabrics. If you insist on thongs for working out and you notice an itch realted to J.I. than try cleaning your underwear with a bleaching agent. (make sure to rinse and follow normal washing procedures). It kills that pesky bacteria. Of course keep in mind that I am not a doctor or even a professional on this subject..I'm just passing along something I read and found valid. Always seek a doctor's advice if you have unusual symptoms and for guidance on how to treat it.
