I have had a fungal infection recently. I have had bacterial vaginosis before. In fact, I seem to get vaginal infections after wearing leggings but I am not sure if there is any correlation. Has anyone of you experienced anything similar?

Absolutely, I have experienced the same. My gynecologist explained to me that yeast thrives in warm and moist environments. Assuming that you are wearing legging because of physical activity, sweaty tight legging can definitely help the yeast to grow!!

I had no idea. Thanks a lot!
Agreed, I often get thrush when I wear stockings. Very frustrating. Would love to hear if someone has some tips on how to avoid?
