Winter is here, and we change less and less clothes. What we change is basically what we wear underneath. However, washing clothes is still not as comfortable as in summer. After all, it is cold. But since we have a washing machine in winter, washing clothes has become easier. It is no longer as entangled as in the past, but new problems have also arisen. Some people like to save clothes, and then throw them into the washing machine together to solve the problem at once. We don’t know that this method of washing clothes hides great health risks.

Washing women's underwear and socks together can cause gynecological diseases

If underwear, outerwear, and socks are washed together, it will cause cross-infection of bacteria, especially women's underwear. Once contaminated with bacteria, it may pose a threat to women's health, such as mold, bacterial vaginosis and other gynecological diseases. , if someone with beriberi at home washes their underwear and socks together, then these molds that come in can also cause gynecological diseases in women. So how can we avoid the occurrence of infected gynecological inflammation?

The correct way to clean underwear

1. Wash underwear, outerwear, and socks separately

Clothes worn by people can carry a variety of bacteria, and outerwear exposed to dust is not immune, including some powerful pathogenic bacteria. According to statistics, there are 10 to 100 microorganisms per square centimeter of a piece of clothing. Even if you use detergent to clean your notes, you can only remove 80% of the bacteria. Bacteria that slip through the net can also cause cross-infection.

Not to mention socks. After your feet sweat, being covered in shoes is more conducive to the growth of bacteria. If you suffer from athlete's foot, washing socks and underwear together will increase the chance of cross-infection. So socks, outerwear. Underwear should be washed separately.

2. Underwear cannot be worn overnight

Some people find it too troublesome to wash them one at a time, so they just save a lot of them and wash them together. Do you know? Whether it is underwear or panties, if they are soiled and left out for too long, the stains will seep into the tissue. It will become more difficult to wash, especially underwear. Even if it is invisible to the naked eye, there is always some secretion on the underwear. If it is left for a long time, it is easy for bacteria to multiply and grow. It also gets moldy and cannot be cleaned no matter what. So clean it immediately after replacing it.

3. Choose special soap

Many people are not sure what kind of detergent to use to wash underwear. Some people think that ordinary washing powder and laundry soap can't wash it clean, so they use bleach, disinfectant, and heavy detergent. However, these things contain many ingredients that are harmful to the body, so when washing underwear, you can choose some soap specifically designed for washing underwear.

4. It is best to have a special basin or utensil for washing underwear

Since underwear is a relatively close-fitting piece of clothing, there is also a special washbasin or utensil, especially for washing feet or holding other bacteria-laden clothing. This can easily cause bacterial infection.

There are four major reasons why women’s underwear often turns yellow

1. The material of the briefs itself is not good enough

There are many kinds of materials for briefs. Among them, nylon material has poor sweat-absorbing ability, and in addition to being non-breathable, it is also not light-resistant. When a woman cleans this kind of briefs and hangs them up to dry in the sun, they tend to turn yellow little by little and age continuously if they are left in the sun for a long time. Therefore, when buying briefs, you should ask what material they are made of, and try to avoid this material when purchasing.

2. A woman’s urine accidentally got on her briefs

Everyone knows that the urethra and vagina are very close, so after a woman urinates, if she does not wipe the excess urine with a clean paper towel, when she puts on briefs, the residual urine will be left in the crotch for a long time. If urine soaks into the material of the briefs, it will gradually turn yellow.

3. Women suffer from gynecological inflammation

After a woman suffers from inflammation, the secretions discharged from the private triangle area will become more abundant and yellow in color every day. Such secretions stick to the crotch of the briefs and will soak into the interior over time, causing the briefs to turn yellow.

4. When a woman comes to visit her aunt, her menstrual blood accidentally gets on her briefs

Many people don’t understand, menstrual blood is obviously red, why does menstrual blood cause briefs to turn yellow? This is mainly because it is always difficult to completely clean briefs stained with menstrual blood when cleaning the crotch. Over time, some residual menstrual blood gets into the material, making it even more difficult to wash off. Over time, yellow marks will appear on the crotch of the briefs.
