Correspondence (letters to the editor): Inquire About Use of Panty Liners

PMCID: PMC7805592  PMID: 33263534

In my experience, panty liners constitute a crucial trigger of vulvar pruritus—as well as for recurrent colpitis. Surprisingly many women wear these on a regular basis, obviously influenced by advertisements. In such a scenario, cotton or silk underwear is of no benefit. Patiently intervening, against a lot of resistance, I have helped many women to restrict wearing liners to times of actual need, thereby managed to rid themselves of pruritus and colpitis.
