Underwear can be said to be people’s intimate clothing. Many people call underwear a fig leaf. In fact, the role of underwear is far more than just covering up shame. We usually wear underwear to reduce friction on the body, protect private parts, and avoid bacterial infection of the body. According to statistics, more than 60% of gynecological inflammations are caused by these underwear! So, what’s the point of wearing underwear for health?
Many friends pay great attention to changing and washing underwear in daily life. Many people know that after washing underwear, they should be exposed to the sun in time. The ultraviolet rays contained in the sun can effectively eliminate bacteria on the comfortable and breathable underwear. But did you know that drying underwear is also very particular. If the method of drying your underwear is wrong, it may be useless. Let’s analyze it based on “How to dry underwear in a healthier way”.
The best way to show off your underwear is to “sunbathe”
The so-called “drying your underwear” means letting your underwear see the sun! In this way, the ultraviolet rays in the sun can help sterilize and disinfect your underwear and keep your underwear hygienic. Because sunlight can not only make clothes dry quickly, it is also the best natural disinfectant. If you always dry your underwear in a dark place, it will be more likely to breed bacteria. So, on a sunny day, you might as well “sunbathe” your sheets, clothes and other daily necessities at home. It is also very beneficial to your health!
However, the disinfection effect of sunbathing is also related to the light intensity and exposure time. Generally speaking, the purpose of disinfection can be achieved by exposing items to direct sunlight for half an hour. The following discussion on “Whether it is better to sunbathe breathable boxer underwear from the front or the back” is also conducted under the premise of “adequate sunbathing”.
Show off your underwear from the front or from the back
The best way to dry underwear is to expose it to the sun to achieve full sterilization effect. Turning the inside of your underwear over to dry in the sun can sterilize the “key parts” more thoroughly. Moreover, some cotton dyes are sensitive to sunlight and will fade easily due to excessive exposure to the sun. It is best to turn them over to dry. However, it should be noted that underwear that has just been exposed to the sun should not be worn immediately. It is best to dry it in a cool place before wearing it.
However, some folks are worried that if the close-fitting surface of underwear is “exposed” to the outside, wouldn’t it be dirtier if bugs, dust, etc. stick to it? Indeed, if the air quality of the living environment is poor and the drying environment is not good, it is easier to adhere. Some unclean things may even attract bugs, bacteria, etc. It is recommended that it is safer to bask in the front. In addition, if the underwear cannot be exposed to the sun, it is best to dry it from the front and hang it in a ventilated place such as the balcony to dry naturally, or simply use a dryer to dry it thoroughly!
Summarize
How to dry your underwear in a better way for your health? In fact, you only need to follow a simple principle: when exposed to the sun, dry it from the reverse side; when there is no direct sunlight, dry it from the front side. If you want to be more “safe”, you can do this: put the underwear inside out in the sun for half an hour, then turn the underwear over and place it in a sunny and ventilated place to dry naturally. If it is not exposed to sunlight, it is recommended to hang it in a ventilated place to dry, or directly treat it with high temperature, such as ironing it, drying it in a dryer, or blowing it with a hair dryer to prevent wet underwear from easily breeding bacteria or being contaminated with dust.
In short, the correct way to dry your underwear is very important to keep your underwear clean and comfortable. By following the tips above, you can easily dry your underwear and extend its life.
