Some people say that the healthy life of a bra is three months, and the longest can't exceed ten months. So, how long is the healthy life of a pair of underwear? Recently, some scientists have come to the conclusion that a pair of underwear should be resolutely discarded after being worn for half a year, otherwise,
The germs accumulated on underwear will threaten your health.
Microbiologists say underwear has to be thrown away after six months.
Elle loves beauty and hates the old. She has nothing to do on weekdays. Her favorite activity is shopping. The clothes she bought are beautiful for a season, and they will definitely be cold. In spite of extravagance and waste, she also has frugal times, such as dealing with underwear. Anyway, these are worn inside and I don't want to show them to others. Keep wearing it as long as it's not broken or rotten.
Recently, however, Elle's underwear values have been completely subverted. This stems from a research result published online.
Microbiologists have made a lot of investigations on underwear, and found that a piece of dirty underwear contains an average of 0. 1 g of feces, and there are a lot of bacteria such as hepatitis A virus, rotavirus, salmonella and Escherichia coli in the feces. Even if it is washed and dried correctly, it cannot completely kill the bacteria on it. Underwear is the closest to our body among the clothes we wear next to our body. If there are too many germs on underwear, they may enter the body through urethra and vagina, causing various health problems.
For this conclusion, Wang Suxia, deputy chief physician of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, thinks that the scientists who did this research have some perfectionism. We can't live in a sterile environment.
The problem of recurrent vaginitis is that underwear is too tight.
How long will those underwear be thrown away? Wang Suxia said that it should depend on everyone's different economic ability.
In the past, the living conditions were poor, and many people used towels with holes, so they were patched and used until they were full. Now the towel has been used for a month or two, and it is a little stiff, and it was immediately used as a mop by many people. So is underwear. If you can afford it, you can change it after wearing it for half a year, and the texture will be softer, and it will naturally be more comfortable and healthy to wear. But even underwear that has been worn for a long time can be worn healthily as long as it is properly cleaned and aired.
She believes that compared with old and new underwear, some bad underwear is more harmful to health through drying and wearing. Clinically, she found that there are many women suffering from various molds and trichomonal vaginitis, many of whom are fashionable young girls.
There was a young girl who got fungal vaginitis before she got married. She went to the clinic several times and got well after taking the medicine, but she relapsed soon after stopping taking the medicine, and it was very painful again and again. The girl felt very wronged. She usually likes to be clean. She takes a bath every day and changes her underwear frequently, but she just has a dirty problem. After talking with the doctor in detail, she suddenly realized that the original problem was her tight underwear. She loves beauty, and the underwear she chooses is tight and low-waisted, which wraps her hips tightly, but creates a hotbed conducive to the breeding of germs.
Now, when we meet patients who can't get rid of vaginitis, Wang Suxia will ask them carefully about the style and texture of underwear.
Choose the material, style and color of underwear.
Indeed, inappropriate underwear can lead to various health problems. Especially for women, their reproductive system is an open system. If you are exposed to a closed and polluted environment all the year round, it will easily lead to the breeding and upward infection of bacteria and viruses.
. It is best not to choose underwear made of chemical fiber, nylon and silk. Although the underwear made of these materials is fashionable and sexy, the fabric has high compactness, poor air tightness, poor air permeability and moisture absorption, which is not conducive to cell breathing. Once it is polluted by leucorrhea or leucorrhea, it does not volatilize, and the vulva is wet all day. This warm and humid environment is very conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria and easy to cause inflammation. Therefore, cotton is the best material for underwear. Cotton underwear is soft and elastic, absorbs moisture and dissipates heat, making it healthier to wear.
style
. Tight underwear has many advantages, such as showing figure and matching pants, but it also has fatal health disadvantages. It is wrapped tightly, creating a humid and sultry environment and is a hotbed of germs. * * * The doctor will advise patients with vaginitis not to wear tight jeans, and don't wear tight underwear. Therefore, when choosing, we should choose a slightly loose style, and the crotch position should be appropriately wider.
colour
. Many women like to wear dark underwear, which is more resistant to dirt. In fact, underwear should try to choose light colors such as white and flesh color. Female leucorrhea is an important reflection of good health. Sometimes, the change in the number and color of leucorrhea itself is a reminder of the disease. If you wear dark underwear, it is not easy to find these problems. Moreover, light-colored underwear can remind women to change in time and keep clean.
Menstrual underwear and non-menstrual underwear are best divided into one point.
In addition to choosing underwear, the daily way of wearing and washing is equally important.
Underwear should be washed by hand alone. The washing machine liberates our hands, but not all clothes can be thrown into the washing machine, especially underwear and other intimate clothes, and we can't throw them away at once. The washing machine is not only a washing bucket, but also a big dyeing vat. According to CCTV survey, the bacteria exceeding the standard rate of washing machine water tank is as high as 8 1.3%. If underwear is left in such an environment, it will undoubtedly become more and more dirty. So when washing clothes, you must pick out your underwear separately and wash it gently by hand. Can't be mixed with socks and other hand-washed clothes.
Dry in the sun. Influenced by traditional ideas, some women think underwear is a shameful thing and can only be dried in the shade. As everyone knows, this will miss the best disinfectant-ultraviolet light. After washing underwear, it is best to put your crotch outward and expose it to the sun, and fully disinfect it. When you bring it in, dry wipe your crotch and remove the dust from it.
Menstrual underwear and non-menstrual underwear are divided into one point. During menstruation, women need to put sanitary napkins and pads on their underwear. The adhesive tapes used for sanitary napkins and pads are mostly industrial adhesives, which are still difficult to completely remove after cleaning and drying, and direct contact with the skin is harmful to health. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to wear menstrual underwear and non-menstrual underwear separately.
