8 Underwear Mistakes You May Be Making
Many people don’t change their underwear as often as they should. In fact, some have admitted that they wear the same pair of panties for 2 days or longer. But besides re-wearing your skivvies before washing them, there are some other mistakes most of us are unknowingly making when it comes to underwear.
We at CLAMOTION admit that we’ve rarely thought about the unpleasant side effects of choosing the wrong pair of undies. But after doing this research, we’ll never underestimate the importance of underwear again.
1. You’re wearing lace panties.
Although lace underwear may look better than cotton panties, wearing them comes with some pretty serious health risks. Because lace and other synthetic fabrics absorb sweat easily and aren’t breathable, it creates the perfect breeding ground for bacteria around the private area. This, in turn, may lead to skin irritation and various infections. If you don’t like cotton underwear at all, make sure that at least the crotch of your panties is lined in cotton, as this can prevent yeast infections from developing.
2. You’re wearing the wrong underwear to the gym.
Chances are you spend much more time choosing cute gym clothes than making sure your underwear are suitable for a workout. When it comes to picking your underwear, it’s better to not size down, as tight skivvies trap moisture which may lead to skin irritation. It’s better to opt for underwear that are made of natural fabrics and that don’t make you feel restricted. And don’t forget to change your underwear after a workout, because vaginal discharge and sweat can make your private parts feel itchy.
