    Have you been on any medication recently?

    This could very possibly be a yeast infection. Many women get them it is very common.

    No, yeast infections do not always come with sex.

    They can be caused by wearing panties that are not cotton (nylon panties do not breathe and hold in the heat and moisture), they can be caused by antibiotics, they can be caused by bubble baths, and they can be caused by toilet paper that has fragrance in it among many, many other things.

    Sex has very little to do with yeast infections actually.

    Yes, it sure would be a cause. Silky thongs are not cotton, they are usually nylon. This could be the cause.

    If it is very itchy there are several things your Mom could get you without going to the doctor. Monistat Cream for one.

    Yes, it is. There are many over-the-counter creams for yeast infections. Vagisil is not one of them.

    Oh, yeah even depends on what detergent you use. Have you changed brands lately?
    Vagisil is even used for man problems too, believe it or not.

    You mean your Mom doesn't wash clothes?

    That is what Joe meant, new laundry detergent can cause this.

    I don't think it's that because my mom didn't switch and it wouldn't be here for that long would it? I use the vagisil bath wash and that's it right now
