I almost exclusively wear g-strings/thongs, so much so that I find them MORE comfortable than regular undies, which always end up getting wedged up my bum, warranting an awkward retrieval. I initially began wearing gs/thongs in my late teens to avoid VPL, & just never looked back. I haven't had thrush in years (& I usually only get it when amoxycillin antibiotics are involved), & my UTIs only seem to show up when I forget to pee after sex, otherwise I don't seem to be overly affected by those conditions.
