First, why are so many unregistered people able to post in this thread? Weird.

Second . . . what doubts? There's no scientifically sound explanation for it; there is much evidence that it's bogus. Depending on the cut, red underwear is nice to have, and it never hurts to have a box of safety pins around the house--especially in a house which will have a baby in it soon!--but seriously, no doubts involved.
