I've heard on one hand that they can cause infection, and on the other hand I've heard that it is very unlikely as long as you wash them and shower. Can they cause infection or health problems, and if so how can this be prevented? What are the chances that a thong can create a health issue?

well here's the thing...just make sure your thong has a cotton crotch so you can breathe. Infection can occur from yeast or bacteria growing in an unbreathable area...also e coli bacteria from your rear can move up towards the vaginal area and cause infection. Many women choose to wear a thong pantiliner that can be changed during the day. If you are not getting infections or irritation I wouldn't worry...if so, try the pantiliner. Also make sure the thongs are not too tight, many women wear underwear in general too small.

Are you talking about undies or flip flops? I think that thongs (panties) are no more dangerous for your health than regular panties. Infections may come along if you have poor hygiene or are prone to infection due to an illness....but not because of what type of underwear you have on. Of course,like with any other type of underwear, they should be washed after every use...you know don't wear them for more than one day..that would gross and smelly. If you maintain good hygiene..it shouldn't matter whether you wear anything or not.
If you're talking about flip flops, it shouldn't make any difference what so ever. Again, it all goes back to good hygiene.
Strange question but I guess if you don't know it never hurts to ask. Good Luck

Having something shoved up your tw@t isn`t healthy as it cannot get air like when your wear a bikini and other types of underwear. This is a breeding ground for a yeast infection.

Just stay clean, and you wont have any problems. A dirty string sticking up your *** could cause you to get some irritation, and possibly infection.

I've heard that flossing leads to good health. Just kidding!
