Strong Detergents?
Some people worry that strong detergents, fabric softeners, or scented laundry products can cause serious diseases.
These products can sometimes irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions.
For people who experience itching, redness, burning, or discomfort after wearing freshly washed underwear, changing to a fragrance-free detergent may help.
Thoroughly rinsing clothing can also reduce detergent residue.
However, skin irritation from laundry products is not the same thing as cervical cancer, and there is no reliable evidence that ordinary detergent use causes cervical cancer.
