A gynaecologist has warned women not to wear panty liners every day.
Annie has built a following of almost 95,000 people on her TikTok account @anniedeliversmd, by answering questions that patients typically ask her.
In one of her videos, she talks about panty liners and the dangers of wearing them every day.
Annie revealed that wearing the pads too often can give you contact dermatitis - a red, itchy rash caused by direct contact with an irritant.
Too often, people tell her that they have vaginal irritation, but most often than not she says it's not an infection after all.

Annie says that she sees many of these women with a defined line around the vulva, which is a sign of wearing panty liners too much.
If you wear panty liners every day, Annie said: "I’d recommend carrying a Ziploc bag with you in your purse.
"When you feel discharge, change your underwear.
"But don’t wear liners. Your vulvar skin does not like them."
Annie’s video has quickly racked up a whopping 11.3 million views, with many shocked at her advice.
Since being posted, the video has racked up more than 470,000 likes and 5,000 comments, many from people who had no idea that so many people wear the pads as often.
One person said: "Shocked at the amount of women wearing liners every day!!! That's insane. Just wipe it with toilet paper when it happens."
Another wrote: "I wear them every day and haven't had any problems. it's not 'sad' or weird, it just makes me feel more comfortable. To each their own I guess."
A third claims: "Wearing daily liners makes you produce more discharge. Let yourself breathe."
Someone else put: "People really wear panty liners every day? Like I normally wear it a day before or after my period."
"Or try period underwear," suggested another user.
