Good day, Eric Bakker, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher. Another frequently asked question.

Can I get a yeast infection from trying on bathing suits at my department store?

That’s quite an amazing question to ask. Why would you think you would get a yeast infection doing this? You shouldn’t really get a yeast infection doing this kind of thing. And again, if in doubt, make sure, obviously, that you take proper precautions. I take it that you’re going to try on a bathing suit wearing at least some cotton underclothing. It’s more hygienic doing that. Probably not a good idea just to put on straight bikini or clothing on your body without something underneath that.

You shouldn’t really get a yeast infection by doing this, but it’s not really hygienic thing perhaps to do either without considering the thin cotton undergarment. The way to answer that question is I think you’ll be okay. You take proper precautions and you should be fine.

There’s another video I did regarding catching. I think you should not worry about catching disease rather than building up your health, increasing resistance. And by doing that you won’t be susceptible to catching anything at all. All right?

I hope that answers your question. Thanks for the question.

Good day, Eric Bakker, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher with another question.

Here’s a question from a lady in New York. Can wearing thong underwear cause a yeast infection? I think this lady’s talking about those G-string kind of underclothing.

I don’t think it can cause a yeast infection, but I think that if you’ve got an existing infection, it may be harder for you to get rid of if you’ve got quite tight clothing in the genital area that’s not going to allow a lot of air to get to the region.

So if you’ve got an existing vaginal infection, it’s probably not a good idea to wear thongs or what you call thong, I believe, or a G-string. If you do wear them, don’t wear them for long periods of time. You’re better off wearing loose cotton clothing in this area. It’s going to be better in terms of allowing that area to recover quicker, particularly if you’re going to do good treatments.

I’ve got a very good treatment in Chapter 5 of my book, a three-stage protocol for instant relief. And there is also a two-stage protocol for chronic yeast infections, which is going to work exceptionally well.

So if you’ve got a current infection, probably not a good idea to wear a thong or a G-string for prolonged periods of time. You’ll probably get away with it, but not for days and days on end.

So I don’t think it causes yeast infections as such, but I certainly think it will make you have one longer or find it harder to get rid of if you have got a yeast infection. Stick with the more loose cotton clothing. Silk is also quite good to wear.

So I hope that answers your question. Thank you.

Hi there, Eric Bakker again, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher with another question I get asked regarding yeast infections.

Can silk underwear cause a yeast infection?

Silk is not really a problem because like Moreno wool, cotton, these are natural fibers that tend to breathe. So I don’t think you’ll really have a problem with silk. However, like any other kind of underclothing, you would need to keep it clean and change it quite frequently.

The underclothing which is not a good idea to wear, however, is nylon or polyester or other kinds of artificial fibers that don’t breathe. They’re going to keep you a lot warmer and increase perspiration, and they don’t breathe and they tend to encourage the proliferation of vaginal infections.

So silk underwear should be okay to use. Lucky you, if you can buy silk underwear. It’s really nice to wear I’ve been told. But Moreno underwear is what I prefer to use. It is a beautiful, very fine woolen fabric that is beautiful to wear. You hardly even know you’re wearing it and it breathes and it’s a fantastic fiber to wear.

So you’ll be fine with silk. I hope that answers your question.
