- It's not that complicated to find out how often you have to change your underwear
- Your underwear is a source of bacteria that could cause infections
- Not only do you have to change your underwear frequently, you also have to renew it every six months .
Although, when we were little, we practically all had the pack of panties or briefs that I had drawn on the days of the week, that little if we had reasoned a little we would have understood that if there is a garment for each day it is for something, there is still a lot People who doubt about underwear.
Everyone has their own reasons and arguments to do it more or less frequently. From people who change two or three times a day to people who wear clean underwear two or three times a week. And, deep down, the one who does it too much or the one who misses it does so for the same reason: comfort and what makes him feel at ease.
What happens when you wear underwear for several days?
A survey conducted in the United States by the company Tommy John has revealed that 45% of the inhabitants of this country go over with the same underwear put on two or more days. Great.
But hold on to the seat (or whatever you have on hand, but hold on) because 13% of Americans confessed to being more than a week without changing their underwear. But let's see. Are you biologists? Are you investigating the creation of organic matter? Please!
At the conclusion of his survey, Tommy John points out that underwear can be a source of infections and that hygiene is a worrying thing that is within our reach and only depends on us. Well, we add the latter from Yasss.
Underwear (like any other garment that is in direct contact with our skin, actually) contains bacteria that accumulate throughout the day, dead cells and sweat, which can cause irritation, rashes, itching and infections.
By the way, if you sleep with the same underwear you have worn during the day, the risks increase. Many gynecologists recommend women sleep without underwear for this reason.
In addition, Tommy John also recommends renewing underwear every six months. Come on, throw away the used one and buy new clothes. But well, keep in mind that Tommy John is a men's clothing company and what they want is to sell. Although it does not hurt to remind you to throw your old underwear and buy new things from time to time. Every year, for example.
How often should we change our underwear?
Another study, this time by the University of Maryland, said that 28% of men believe that wearing the same underwear two days in a row is normal. And it is? Do not.
Why? From what we have said before your previous clothes accumulate shits and on top it is in direct contact with a delicate area of your body. Our health is at stake! Change your panties, thongs or socks!
