Colored or white underwear during pregnancy?
November 11, 2006

Question

During pregnancy, does it matter whether I wear colored or white underwear?

Answer

We recommend wearing colored underwear throughout pregnancy. A significant percentage of women stain during pregnancy. Wearing colored underwear can help you avoid becoming niddah through such staining.
