Bah…you like hair on the legs, underarms, back and chest then too I take it? 
You are grossly overestimating my housekeeping skills.
BTW, WTH is “thrush?”
Whatever it is I’ve never had it, nor a yeast infection and I’m only bare long enough to take a shower and dry off.
So why did the notion of underwear take-off? (he he)
And how do I put this delicately…who wants vaginal juices on their sofa or back of skirt or trouser crotch?
Not bathing frequently may have had quite a bit to do with this, I should think. Hell, considering how itchy they were all the time (especially given that a lot of people were perpetually infested with fleas and lice) how would a woman *know * she what she had was a yeast infection?
Secondly, even if she had an infection, there wouldn’t have been much that could have been done. Gynecological medicine really didn’t exist until recently. The only medical help available would have been that of a midwife, since most physicians didn’t deal with problems with the “nether regions.” Not having a name for her ailment, nor, probably even recognizing that it was one, to whom could a woman have turned?
I want to know how you get one into a vagina.
Actually, I once knew (as in Knew) a young woman for a while in college. She was covered all over her body in soft, downy hair, noticeably thicker on the tops of her feet for some reason, but none on her face. Remarkably nice, it turned out to be.

From the “Man From Uncle” FAQ:
THRUSH stands for Technical Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesireables and the Subjugation of Humanity
Thrush = candida albicans. Just in case you were serious about the question.
In a word: no!
Men sometimes need to keep their fantasies to themselves!
I think they make headers for cars.

>>any of numerous small or medium-sized oscine birds (families Turdidae and Muscicapidae) which are mostly of a plain color often with spotted underparts and many of which are excellent singers. I want to know how you get one into a vagina.
Ironically, something thrush-like is known as turdiform.
Those, as well as glass-pack mufflers.
The mind boggles.
Firstly: overwashing contributes to thrush, as the body naturally has defences against it (“good” bacteria).
Secondly: natural fibres such as cotton are actually absorbent of moisture, IMO they keep things drier and more comfortable.
Thirdly: thrush is also exacerbated by certain modern conditions such as diet (high sugar) and man-made fabrics.
Fourthly: women never “did without underwear” because of thrush, gussets hadn’t been invented. But they wore oodles of bloomers and layer of (often tight fitting) petticoats, and would have arguably had less air circulating than a woman today wearing cotton undewear under a skirt or loose-ish pair of trousers.
Fifthly: some women no matter what they do are very prone to thrush, others never get it. I imagine this is just as true now as it was in the Middle Ages.
Anyone else read this as spotted underpants??

BTW, candida infection in the mouth is known as thrush. (babies and people who are immune-supressed get it). When horses get it in their hooves you call it thrush as well.
I’ve never heard it called thrush when located in the hoo-hah, but it is the same culprit at work.
