If your female inserting a garlic clove in vagina will prove more effective!

Many folks think of candida "infections," when in fact, yeast of various types can be pretty much omnipresent in digestive tracts, female areas, ear canals, nasal passages, etc. They may be tiny or great in number, but are commonly present. So it's an overgrowth issue, as opposed to an "infection" by a foreign organism. Some people, or certain organs in a given person, may not be able to keep them in check for whatever reason, allowing for overgrowth.

Therefore I suspect that washing underwear in warm water with any detergent would be just fine, with the vast majority of organisms removed. Laundry bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is an effective disinfectant, although the clinical strength recommended is 10 parts water:1 part bleach (such as for a medical lab, although they'll typically use commercial disinfectants instead), which is much stronger than what you would use in the laundry. As an overgrowth matter, as opposed to infection, I suspect all this is a non-issue.

Yes, I've done the microwaving underwear and it seems to help. My doctor had told me that regular laundering of underwear won't kill the yeast discharge, but microwaving does.
