Female friends may develop a habit of changing underwear frequently every day and night, so washing underwear is also necessary.

How to clean underwear to be healthier

A woman’s vaginal opening, urethral opening, and anus are very close together, and her underwear is too tight, which easily causes frequent friction with the vulva, anus, and urethral opening, causing dirt in this area (mostly anal and vaginal secretions) The bacteria in the vagina enter the vagina or urethra, causing infections of the urinary system or reproductive system.

1. Underwear should be changed every day, washed every day, and washed in time. Do not leave underwear overnight, otherwise bacteria can easily breed and make cleaning more difficult.

2. Underwear must be hand washed. Underwear is generally relatively small. In order to increase the friction density, it is recommended to pinch it tightly with your thumb and index finger and rub it carefully so that it can be washed cleanly and thoroughly;

3. The lotion must be soapy water, the utensils should be specially designed, and the water should be cold water;

4. Clean underwear should not be exposed directly to the sun. It should be dried in a cool place first and then placed in the sun for disinfection. Otherwise, the underwear will easily become hard and deformed.

Never wash underwear like this

1. Is hand washing the cleanest underwear?

It is indeed cleaner to wash underwear by hand, but the disadvantage of hand washing is that the detergent is often not rinsed away, and the underwear cannot be completely wrung out after washing. In fact, cleaning underwear only requires a simple health common sense: "wash clean, rinse clean." As for how you wash it and which detergent you use, it doesn't actually matter. Clean underwear is good for health.

2. How to choose a cleaning agent

How to clean underwear stained with blood during menstrual period? Chen Anqi said that if it is first stained, rinse it with cold water and it will probably wash off. However, if the blood stain has dried and hardened, you can use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect wounds and drop it on it, and the blood stain will be effectively decomposed.

3. What should I do if I live in an apartment and my underwear can’t be exposed to the sun

Ultraviolet rays are the best natural disinfection system. If possible, let the underwear be exposed to the sun. If you really don’t have the chance, you can use high temperature to treat it, for example, iron it, dry it in a dryer, or use a hair dryer. Blow it so it doesn't get wet. Underwear is not suitable for hanging in the bathroom.

4. Can essential oils, bleach, and hot water be boiled to effectively sterilize

Essential oils do have some unique effects, but at most they only have aromatic properties when dropped on underwear. Cleaning with bleach does have a bactericidal effect and can remove yellow stains, but the chloride in bleach is highly irritating, so be careful about the residue.

How do women choose underwear correctly?

1. Choose materials for underwear

When choosing the material for making underwear, several factors are crucial, such as ventilation area, whether it is easy to generate static electricity, whether there are potential allergens, etc.

Sometimes women find that they have rashes, itching and other symptoms after putting on underwear, which is caused by static electricity. Synthetic fiber underwear is far more irritating to the skin than natural fibers, so natural fiber underwear tends to be better.

2. Choose the color of underwear

For women suffering from vaginitis and reproductive system tumors, the leucorrhea will become turbid, even red or yellow, which are signs of disease.

If these phenomena can be detected early and treated early, better curative effects can be obtained.

If you wear dark underwear or underwear with too colorful patterns, the diseased leucorrhea may not be discovered in time, which may delay the condition, so do not always wear dark underwear. Wearing dark underwear less often also prevents too much industrial dyes from entering our bodies.

3. Choose a design for your underwear

Many women prefer tight underwear because they are more sexy. However, this kind of sexiness comes at the expense of certain health. This is due to the lack of air circulation, which makes it difficult for the heat to be taken away from tight underwear, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi and parasites, and pathogenic microorganisms and high heat can directly lead to vulvar infections. Wearing this type of underwear when you have a vulvar infection will slow down recovery.
