Preface
-Research by microbiologists shows that 0.1 grams of feces will be produced in worn underwear a day. Underwear must be washed on the same day.
-Underwear soaked in boiling water will only change the protein on the underwear into deformed protein, and will also cause the underwear to fade and turn yellow. The underwear should be soaked in water of about 30 degrees for ten minutes, and then cleaned with a special underwear cleaner.
-It is more suitable to choose modal and ice silk underwear in summer. In other seasons, you can choose modal and pure cotton.
-Be sure to change underwear after exercise. Although the private parts do not appear to be sweating after exercise, many bacteria will breed in the warm and humid environment after exercise.
-You need to throw away your underwear and replace it with new ones after three months. Don’t feel bad. No matter how poor you are, you can’t afford underwear.
The mens can probably talk endlessly about their knowledge of the game!
You can study electronic and digital products again and again!
But when it comes to how to choose underwear that is the most intimate contact with our bodies, most mens have a make-do attitude, as long as they can wear it. And how much do you know about some precautions when wearing underwear?
First, Types of underwear
Different underwear shapes have different properties and effects!
Boxer: recommended by male doctors, they can reduce the restraint of underwear on the body and minimize the friction between thighs and crotch when walking, which is good for health.
Briefs: Suitable for people with thick legs, they can also lengthen the shape of the legs and make them more slender! It is also suitable for men who like sports and suffer from varicocele. But for men, because it tightly wraps the scrotum, it makes it difficult for the private parts to dissipate heat.
Boxer briefs: Compared with briefs, boxer briefs can reduce restraint and friction, and keep them ventilated. However, when choosing men’s boxer briefs, you should try to fit them as closely as possible. Choose cotton textures that are closer to the body than cotton. And for now, the design of boxer briefs neither is perfect.
Second, Key points for choosing underwear
1. Breathability
Breathability is especially important! Especially in summer!
Underwear with poor breathability will make your crotch feel like you are in a sauna
Scientific research shows that the ideal testicular temperature is around 35°C. If the underwear is not breathable, the temperature will rise, resulting in sperm reduction or death.
2. Hygroscopicity
Due to the characteristics of mens’ physiological structure, every time a men goes to the toilet, he will leave some body fluids on his underwear. If the underwear is not absorbent enough, will the little “brother” feel comfortable?
Generally speaking, pure cotton and modal cotton have better air permeability and moisture absorption, so they are our first choice!
For people who sweat a lot, it is better to choose modal material, which is more sweat-absorbent, moisture-absorbent and breathable underwear.
In winter, you can choose pure cotton materials, which are warmer.
3. Size
Most mens will choose to buy underwear online. If it doesn’t fit them when they come back, they should dress carefully.
Please note that when you buy underwear, you must choose the right size. Don’t give in because you buy the wrong size, otherwise it will be your little “brother” who suffers! Consider whether the size and material are comfortable, supportive and elastic.
4. Wear resistance
Mens are as obsessed with underwear as women are with skin care products. They are unwilling to change to new ones even if they die. Therefore, due to fabric or quality reasons, many underwear either get stuck in the crotch or shift in “certain parts”. The more the underwear wears out, the thinner it becomes and become looser. After a long time, there are often holes! So never ignore that piece of cloth! No matter how poor you are, don’t be poor in underwear. Taking a step back, you can’t treat your “brother” who has been with you through life and death with three pairs of underwear for 10 yuan!
Third, Warm tips
1. Change and clean every day
After wearing underwear for a day, a lot of dirt will remain. If the underwear is not washed and changed frequently, a lot of bacteria will breed. Over time, the stains on it will become stubborn stains that cannot be washed off even if you want to wash them. Therefore, underwear must be changed and washed on the same day. Even washing it overnight can easily breed bacteria, and it is best to wash it by hand.
2. Clean with neutral laundry detergent
Do not use soap when cleaning underwear. It is best to use neutral laundry detergent. Underwear is close-fitting clothing, and general soap is alkaline, which can easily irritate the skin when washed by hand. If it is not washed thoroughly, the residual chemicals will also irritate the skin, and alkaline substances will damage the clothing fibers to a certain extent, making it easy to cause hair loss. If it turns yellow and becomes old, it is recommended to choose neutral detergent for cleaning. It is not easy to leave residue, is gentle and non-irritating, and protects the color of clothes. Choose neutral laundry detergent, which is gentle and safe.
3. It’s best not to wash it with socks
Underwear and socks must not be washed together! Sweat, old keratin, Staphylococcus aureus, fungi and other substances and germs can be found on worn socks. Mixing them with underwear may cause cross-infection. Especially for people with athlete’s foot, if they wash socks and underwear together, the trichophyton rubrum that causes athlete’s foot may be spread to the underwear, causing tinea cruris.
4. Dry in the sun
The correct way to dry your underwear is to put your underwear in direct sunlight. If you put your underwear indoors to dry at will, the humid environment will produce more bacteria. If you do this often, you will easily suffer from inflammation…
If it is rainy and cloudy in succession, you should hang your underwear in a ventilated place to dry, or directly use a dryer, iron, hair dryer, etc. for high-temperature treatment.
5. During the inflammation period, scald with boiling water
For men with inflammation, in addition to wearing cotton underwear, it is best to scald the washed underwear with boiling water or cook it directly with a special cooking utensil to completely eliminate the germs.
Everyone must buy good high-quality underwear. As your boyfriend said, no one can wrong his “brother”. Also make sure to change your underwear regularly!
