Sex docs' G-string scare

Bottom line ... docs say G-strings
cause infections and skin damage

DOCTORS are calling for G-strings to be banned — because they are bad for girls’ health. Experts in Germany warn that the skimpy pants can damage skin and cause infections.

Gynaecologists prefer women to wear traditional bigger knickers after seeing an “enormous” rise in patients reporting genital inflammation.

Dr Thomas Gent said: “G-strings can abrade and injure the sensitive skin around the genital area — especially if they are too tight or made with badly stitched material.”

He said friction caused by the “string” part of the underwear is the root of the problem.

Dr Gent, of the Association of Gynaecologists in Hamburg, added that the damage caused “can aid the spread of bacteria and cause fungal infections”.

Recent German studies found one in two women under 50 wear G-strings and most men find them sexy.

But Mathias Geduhn, a spokesman for fashion chain H&M, revealed that big pants are making a comeback.

He said: “The trend is turning to comfortable hot-pants and slips.”
