We all know that women's physiological structure is different from men, so women should pay more attention to health in their daily life, otherwise they are easy to suffer from gynecological diseases. The closest thing to women's physical health is the maintenance of underwear hygiene. How long is the service life of a pair of underwear? What should be paid attention to in the daily cleaning of underwear? The small editor of this article will explain to you in detail. I hope you can keep healthy and not get sick.
1. How often do I change my underwear?
The Deputy Secretary General of China knitting Association said that under normal circumstances, underwear with high frequency of use should be changed every six months. If the underwear is deformed, the material becomes dry and hard, or the stain can not be washed, it must be replaced in time.
2. You'd better change your underwear every day
In life, especially women, we must cultivate the good habit of washing and changing underwear frequently. It is recommended to change underwear every day and don't let underwear stay overnight. Otherwise, the breeding of a large number of bacteria will make cleaning difficult and infect the human body. Especially in summer, when the temperature rises and the human body secretes a large amount of sweat, the reproduction of bacteria and the occurrence of infection will be more frequent. When cleaning, try to wash by hand with soap.
3. Cleaning underwear should be separated from other clothes
Underwear is in close contact with special physiological parts and has special requirements for hygiene. If it is mixed with underwear, it is easy to transfer external pathogenic bacteria and pollution sources to underwear. Socks, in particular, are prone to mold. If they are mixed with underwear, they will infect the mold to the underwear.
4. Don't dry in the shade
It's best not to hang your underwear in an airless, dark and humid environment, especially for people with fungal vaginitis. Mold likes to grow in a humid and dark environment, so it's best to dry it after washing. If there is no drying condition at home, hang your underwear in a ventilated environment, which is conducive to drying and avoid breeding bacteria.
5. Don't turn the sun
Many people may like to turn over and dry the washed clothes. They think that they dry quickly and can be disinfected by sunlight and ultraviolet rays, but underwear should not be turned over and dried. Because when drying underwear, harmful substances such as smoke, dust, microorganisms and hydrogen sulfide float with the flow of air, and will adhere to the close side of underwear. After wearing it on the body, it is easy to cause allergy and itching, and even induce various skin inflammation. For women, it may also cause gynecological diseases.
6. Can you sleep without underwear?
It's best to wear loose underwear when sleeping, so that the blood circulation will be smooth and good for sleep. Some people like to sleep naked, which is also good, because women's genitals are wet all year round, which is easy to breed harmful bacteria. If they can maintain sufficient ventilation, they can reduce the incidence of common gynecological diseases.
7. Wash the newly bought underwear before wearing it
Wearing new 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 beauty. In addition, in order to prevent moths and molds, the insect repellents and disinfectants also stimulate human skin. In addition, there will be some formaldehyde residues in clothing, which will also be harmful to the body. Therefore, the newly bought clothes must be washed with clean water and hung in a ventilated place to dry before wearing, especially for underwear.
8. Do not wear dark underwear
The color of underwear should also be treated with caution. Some people like dark underwear, but neglect that the color is dyed by dyes. Dyes are a hodgepodge of a variety of chemicals, which contain some toxicity. Especially if the underwear you buy fades every time you wash it, it is recommended not to wear it again. As for too white underwear, there may be some hidden dangers due to excessive bleaching, which increases the risk of your association with allergies.
9. You'd better buy pure cotton underwear
Tight underpants or chemical fiber underpants may have allergies due to severe friction with the skin, resulting in skin pruritus. Therefore, women should choose pure cotton underwear. Some women like lace underwear as long as the crotch is pure cotton.
10. Sterilized underwear should be washed clean
Many people like to clean their underwear with disinfectant and think it will make their underwear cleaner. Experts remind that it is possible to detoxify our underwear with disinfectant, but it should be noted that when we clean our underwear with soap, washing powder and disinfectant, we must pay attention to cleaning our underwear, because if we can't clean it, there will be some chemical residues, which will have some potential harm to the human body. At the same time, it's best to prepare a special cleaning vessel.
11. Underwear is best placed separately
Underwear is best to be placed separately, with some special storage bags or put into clean plastic bags to avoid being polluted by dust and bacteria and affecting health.
12. Eliminate abdominal band
The biggest harm of wearing the abdominal belt is to affect the blood circulation. The abdominal belt will tighten the lower limbs and abdomen, which will affect the blood circulation of these two parts. Although there is no clear data to show the impact of abdominal band on blood circulation, it can be imagined that poor pelvic blood circulation and poor blood perfusion of important organs and ovaries will affect their function. In addition, if too young girls wear abdominal bands, it will affect the development of pelvis. Now you should understand that underwear is not a small thing. You must choose and clean carefully and put health first.
