I went in to get a hernia checked out and at the time I had my pubic hair shaved into a smiley face (did it for my boyfriend at the time, he absolutely loved it) and the doctor didn't so much as crack a smile. If I can't even get an immature titter out of a doctor from that, then panties aren't going to do a thing. Try not to let a sense of embarrassment over something as small as that make you reconsider medical help in the future! You lucked out this time, but don't let this be your Achilles heel!
