Doctors have revealed that G-strings are bad for women's health and should be banned.

Experts in Germany warn that the skimpy pants can damage skin and cause infections.

Gynaecologists prefer women to wear traditional bigger knickers after seeing an "enormous" rise in patients reporting genital inflammation.

"G-strings can abrade and injure the sensitive skin around the genital area - especially if they are too tight or made with badly stitched material," Dr Thomas Gent was quoted by the  Sun, as saying.

He said friction caused by the "string" part of the underwear is the root of the problem.

Dr Gent, of the Association of Gynaecologists in Hamburg, added that the damage caused "can aid the spread of bacteria and cause fungal infections".

Recent German studies found one in two women under 50 wear G-strings and most men find them sexy.

But Mathias Geduhn, a spokesman for fashion chain H&M, revealed that big pants are making a comeback.

He said: "The trend is turning to comfortable hot-pants and slips."
