We know you're healthy ladies. And between the working out and the teeth whitening and the daily vitamin taking, you're doing oodles to look and feel your best. But chances are, you're also doing things that your gynecologist, gym teacher and mom never told you could be bad for you ... down there. (Dun-duhn!) From what's in your panty drawer to being too clean (yes, it's possible!), we've got the secret health hazards docs think you should know about.

Your Panties
Minxes beware! Those hot little lacy or satin panties you just bought? They're good on the eyes, but potentially bad below the belt. Docs say synthetic knickers can cause things to get a little too steamy, if you know what we mean. Cotton is more breathable, and thus, more healthy. But if the mere thought of being sentenced to a life sporting big, cotton granny panties gives you the willies, opt for a cotton-lined version of your fave, sexy styles.

What You Eat
What's bad for your body can also be bad for you below the belt. If you're noshing on a lot of fatty, processed foods and stuff that's high in sugar, you're also more prone to infections.

Being Too Clean
Some docs say that your girlie parts can take care of themselves -- no lathering up necessary. Truth is, being too clean can lead to irritation. While it's also true that some soaps are too harsh, what with all the flowery scents and such, many gynos say mild soaps like Dove are kosher.

Your Meds
Sometimes antibiotics can alter your delicate down-there balance. And, a real shocker: If your doc is prescribing you lots of antibiotics to treat yeast infections and such, the meds can weaken your immune system and lead to more infections. Yikes!

WTF? OMG! We're all a little guilty of letting those naughty words fly -- most of the time without even realizing it. But watch out, Miss Potty Mouth, we might just clean out your pretty pucker with soap. Or send you to the Cuss Control Academy. The CCA will have you speaking like a lady in no time.

Sure, swearing is so commonplace that it may seem like no big deal. But cursing can seriously hurt your chances of scoring a job or a quality guy. Who wants to hire or date a girl who swears like a sailor? No thanks, cap'n!

The Cuss Control Academy offers advice for cleaning up your un-ladylike language. Their tips include patience, positive attitude and practice. "Pretend that your sweet little grandmother or your young daughter is always next to you," the academy advises. Great idea, as long as your sweet grandmother isn't a member of "The Sopranos." The academy also advises that you adopt positive thinking. You know, so you don't feel the need to curse up a storm (and make old ladies blush) all that often.

Go ahead and give that pottymouth of yours a clean sweep -- or at least a good scrubbing. We know we're stocking up on mouthwash already. Besides, what's the worse that could happen? We could start sounding like the mature, polite and well-mannered young ladies that we are? Our mothers are smiling already!

Let's face it. We've all been there: parked in front of the bathroom mirror plucking away at our brows like some kind of tweezer-happy neurotic. Before you know it, you have pencil-thin lines where those gorgeously full brows used to be. We repeat: Back away from the brows! There's nothing worse than eyebrows gone bad (or just gone!), but don't fret. There's a light at the end of the tweezer tunnel. You have a few options, and we're here to fatten up those too-skinny brows.

Made in the Shade
You can always fill brows in with an eye pencil that matches your eye shade, like Maybeline Define-A-Brow. Or try a matte powder shadow, like LORAC Take A Brow. Be sure not to overdo the hue though, or you could end up lookin' more like Bert on Sesame Street. (Hello, scary, drawn-in-with-a-Sharpie brows!)

Miracle Grow
If brow makeup isn't your thing, opt for an enhancing serum, like Anastasia Brow Enhancing Serum, which will jump-start your natural brow growth. Just apply in the morning, and you'll have those beautifully bushy brows back in mere weeks!
