If these underwear come into contact with our delicate skin, the skin will be affected and will slowly absorb them. Therefore, don’t feel bad about such underwear, it is best to throw it away immediately.

2. Underwear hanging in the bathroom

Some women, just for convenience, wash their underwear and hang them in the bathroom every time they take a shower. The editor has to praise such women for cleaning their underwear in a very timely manner. However, the editor also wants to remind women who hang their underwear in the bathroom intentionally or unintentionally. Underwear can easily cause safety hazards in an airtight, dark and humid environment like the bathroom. Did you know that such an environment is also the best place for bacteria to breed? Therefore, it is best to hang underwear in the sun to dry after being washed easily. If there is no sunshine, it is also best to choose a ventilated environment.

3. Underwear that has been used frequently for more than half a year

A pair of worn underwear contains an average of 0.1g of feces. No matter how often you wash and dry them. Some bacteria remaining on underwear, such as salmonella, E. coli, etc., cannot be completely killed. Therefore, if your underwear has been used for half a year, it is best to replace it with a new batch.

4. Other problematic underwear

Some underwear will deform after being worn for a long time, and the originally soft material begins to become dry and hard. During menstruation and even under other circumstances, stains may not be cleaned clean. The editor recommends that everyone replace them in time.

What underwear is the safest for women’s reproductive health

The female reproductive tract is divided into external genitalia and internal genitalia. Underwear has a greater impact on external genitalia than internal genitalia. The external genitalia include the female vulva and the lower part of the vagina. Overly tight underwear or chemical fiber underwear may cause vulvar dermatitis, allergies, and skin itching due to severe friction with the skin. Therefore, women should choose pure cotton underwear. Some women like lace underwear, which is fine as long as the crotch is made of pure cotton.

Newly bought underwear must be washed before wearing

Wearing newly bought underwear without washing is very bad for your health. This is because a variety of chemical additives are often used in the production process of clothing for the sake of appearance. For example, for shrink-proofing, formaldehyde resin treatment is often used; for whitening, fluorescent whitening agent is often used; for stiffness, general sizing treatment is used. These chemicals are generally irritating to human skin. In addition, in order to prevent moths and mildew, the insect repellents and disinfectants used also have a stimulating effect on human skin. In addition, clothing will have some formaldehyde residues, which can also be harmful to the body. Therefore, newly bought clothes must be washed with clean water and hung in a ventilated place to dry before wearing. The same goes for cleaning new underwear.
