Humph. For one thing, we've learned that overuse of antibiotics is never a good idea regardless, and I bet this is definitely more a men's problem, not a women's. Having spent my young years on the motorcycle racing circuit and sports teams, it's the men always complaining about "crotch rot".
1) Gosh, what people will do to make a buck, rather creative though, I must admit. Maybe anti-something bras will be next....
2) Here's an anectdote for you: a patient called up and said, "I slept in a wet bathing suit last night, & now I have a yeast infection." I told her to come in, I'd check it out -- she did (microscopy confirmed). I started telling pts not to do so after that....
3) I'd think that thongs would be rubbing/chafing and cause problems related to that.
Would the more likely coincidental event have been, the yeast infection was in play & became apparent the morning after.
Many women spending the day by the pool or beach have damp bottoms & we don't have higher frequency of vaginal yeast infections during the summer months.
This is interesting and well done, as usual. It strikes me as not so much a solution looking for a problem but rather the marketing of the wrong solution as a preventative for an occasional (legitimate) problem. “Whole body deodorant” also falls in this category. These products may be more appropriately directed towards men, who, in my experience, are much more likely to be utter slobs.
Dr Guenter, I think you might find interesting reading about modern synthetic fabrics in this book.
In To Dye For, Wicker reveals how clothing manufacturers have successfully swept consumers’ concerns under the rug for more than 150 years, and why synthetic fashion and dyes made from fossil fuels are so deeply intertwined with the rise of autoimmune disease, infertility, asthma, eczema, and
I love “insert massive eye roll here” and “a solution looking for a problem”.
Lots of laughs today.

Maybe, but hanging out at the beach in the open air is different from sleeping under covers.
