The relation between the styles of briefs and the physical condition, especially the extent of menorrhalgia or menstrual pain was investigated through a questionnaire from 655 girl students of Gunma University. 1) Although the extent of menstrual pain mainly depend on their constitutional tendencies or the period after the beginning of the menstrual function, the extent of the pain also depends on the styles of wearing briefs ; the girl students wearing usually bikini briefs felt stronger and more frequent pain during menses than the students wearing standard briefs. 2 ) The effects of the six major factors (period after menarche, amount of menstrual flow, interval of menses, history of the family on menorrhalgia, shape of briefs, and life style) on menorrhalgia were compared by the method of multivariate statistical analysis, The shape of briefs affected least of these factors on the frequency of the menorrhalgia, but it significantly affected (forth of six factors) on the extent of the pain.
