8 things about wearing underwear that every girl should know. Are you wearing the right ones?

Underwear can be considered as our second layer of skin, which is in close contact with our body almost every day. But do you understand it well? Most people only pursue beautiful styles or color preferences, but ignore the importance of selecting and wearing underwear correctly. Let's take a look at these 8 important tips for wearing underwear that every woman should know!

 

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 01: Choose Cotton Underwear As A Priority

Many times, we tend to choose underwear based on style/color, and rarely consider the material of the underwear. Most of the fancy and feminine underwear on the market is made of synthetic fiber or silk, which has lower breathability compared to cotton. Wearing underwear with poor breathability for a long time may promote bacterial growth. Pure cotton underwear is soft, skin-friendly, and moisture-absorbing, making it the healthiest underwear material.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 02: 'Modal Material', What Is It Exactly?

In recent years, Modal cotton has become increasingly popular due to its advantages over regular cotton fabric. It is softer to the touch and more lightweight and elastic, allowing for a better fit to the body without feeling constricting. It also provides better breathability and moisture-wicking properties compared to regular cotton.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 03: Don't Wear T-backs and Tight Underwear Too Often

Underwear that is too small or too tight can cause excessive friction between the private parts and the underwear, leading to redness, swelling, inflammation, and even skin breakage, which increases the risk of bacterial infections. In addition, it's not advisable to wear T-backs frequently because they tend to move around more and can easily spread E. coli from the anus to the private parts, causing bacterial infections.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 04: It's Best to Choose Light-Colored Underwear

The marks of white discharge on underwear often indicate our health condition. If the secretions become turbid, yellowish, or reddish, it may be a sign of illness, and wearing light-colored underwear makes it easier to observe the condition of secretions. We should avoid choosing styles with too many elaborate patterns or colors that are too dark. Besides being difficult to observe the condition of secretions, dark dye can produce chemicals that increase the risk of allergic reactions in the body.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 05: After Sweating, Underwear Must Be Changed Immediately

The damp and humid environment is a breeding ground for bacteria, so after sweating a lot, it is necessary to immediately change into clean underwear to keep the body dry and prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause infections in intimate areas. In addition, it is also recommended to choose breathable and antibacterial underwear for daily use, which can help inhibit bacterial growth and avoid intimate area infections.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 06: Menstrual Period Special Underwear

During the menstrual period, blood leakage can affect the cleanliness of the underwear. Blood stains are difficult to completely wash away and can remain on the underwear, leading to the growth of bacteria and causing discomfort such as inflammation in the private area. It is recommended to wear special menstrual period underwear during this time for easy washing of blood stains and to maintain hygiene and health in the private area.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 07:Avoid Chemical Residue on Underwear

Many people add chemical detergents when washing their underwear, but it is important to thoroughly rinse the underwear with water to avoid chemical residue. The skin around the private area is more sensitive than other parts of the body, and if not thoroughly cleaned, it may cause discomfort. It is recommended to use neutral or natural detergents.

Girls' Underwear Knowledge 08: Change Underwear Every Six Months

It is best to change intimate underwear every six months, as underwear can accumulate bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. If not thoroughly cleaned every time, there is still a risk of bacteria growth.
