Sometimes underwear that it too tight or not made of cotton can cause a yeast infection. You may not have a full-blown infection just yet, but try not to itch it as it will spread up into your vagina and become WORSE!
If you know it's just minor irritation because of your underwear, try using vagisil cream to stop the itch and change into looser-fitting cotton undies.
Also try eating more yogurt as the acidophilus in yogurt helps to maintain the natural pH balance of your vagina. You can also try an acidophilus supplement in pill form. If none of this works, go see your doctor about getting diflucan. You'll have to have an exam, but that's not the worse thing in the world-- it will at least rule out any other infections.
Good luck!

Excess moisture can cause this. If you must wear underwear, wear only cotton underwear to allow things to breath. It should go away quickly if you can go without underwear for the next week. Don't wear anything that fits tightly.
You can ease the itch by getting some Vagasil creme from the grocery or drug store. It costs less than 4.00. It's not the stuff for yeast, just a soothing creme that will help moisture and urine keep from burning you.
Hope you feel better soon. These high summer temps will cause anyone to get irritated!

If it's itching, chances are it's not from your underwear. Well, it can be, but only remotely (like if you normally wear non-cotton panties that don't "breathe"). Not to be disgusting, but do you have any discharge? If so, chances are it's an infection. If you're not sure, and never had one, go see a Gyno. But if you know your underwear are bothering, hon, take them off!

Wear clean undies everyday and shower daily. It's best to wear 100% cotton underwear, too.
