Due to women’s physiological structure, women’s private parts are easily invaded by viruses and bacteria. Underwear can not only serve as a channel to block bacteria and viruses, but also create dangers. So how should women choose? Wearing underwear can best protect your health.

Should women wear underwear to sleep?

You can wear it or not, as long as you don’t wear tight underwear. If underwear is too tight, it is recommended to change to looser ones when sleeping, so that blood circulation will be smoother and better for sleep.

If adequate ventilation can be maintained, the chance of common gynecological diseases can be reduced.

What kind of 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, as long as the crotch is pure cotton.

In order to make myself look slimmer, I often wear abdominal belts. What are the dangers?

The biggest hazard of wearing an abdominal belt is that it affects blood circulation. The abdominal belt will tighten the lower limbs and abdomen, which will affect the blood circulation in these two parts. Although there is no clear data showing the impact of wearing an abdominal belt on blood circulation, it is conceivable that poor blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and poor blood perfusion of important organs and ovaries will affect their functions. In addition, if a girl who is too young wears an abdominal belt, it will affect the development of the pelvis.

How to deal with underwear after drying it

Many people may like to dry their washed clothes, thinking that they dry quickly and can be disinfected by exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. However, drying underwear in the sun is not good for health. Because harmful substances such as smoke, dust, microorganisms, and hydrogen sulfide float with the flow of air. When the underwear is turned over and dried, these harmful substances will adhere to the close-fitting side of the underwear. Once worn on the body, it is easy to cause allergic reactions. It can cause itching, even induce various skin inflammations, and may also cause gynecological diseases in women. Therefore, underwear should not be turned over to dry, and dust should be shaken off when collecting clothes.

I wash my underwear every day after taking a shower and hang them to dry in the bathroom. Is this healthy or not?

It is best not to dry underwear in a non-ventilated, dark and humid environment, especially for people with fungal vaginitis.

If there are no drying conditions at home, you should also dry your underwear in a ventilated environment to facilitate drying and avoid the breeding of bacteria.

Do I have to wash newly bought underwear before wearing them?

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.

I bought a pair of underwear, but the color fades every time I wash them. Can I still wear them?

Dye is harmful to the body, and natural dyes are rarely used to dye clothes now. Although the residual chemical dye will not affect the female reproductive organs, after it comes into contact with the skin, the skin will absorb its chemical substances to a certain extent, which will affect the health of the entire body. If the color fades every time you wash it, it means there is something wrong with the quality of the underwear and it is recommended not to wear it again. It is recommended that underwear must be purchased with better quality products. You would rather save money elsewhere than here.
