How to choose maternity underwear
During pregnancy, some underwear is not suitable for pregnant mothers, and there are special requirements for choosing underwear. The choice of underwear for pregnant women requires cotton, broadband underwear and underwear with adjustable waist circumference. Breastfeeding is also an extraordinary period. At this time, underwear bears important responsibilities such as convenient breastfeeding and breast recovery. Then you can choose a thin and elastic cotton knitted fabric with steel wires at the bottom to facilitate breastfeeding. It is best to wash and store pregnant women's underwear separately and use soap. Let's take a look at the relevant knowledge! How to choose maternity underwear

1, cotton and broadband underwear

After pregnancy, in order to meet the needs of breastfeeding, the breast size will gradually increase, with an average increase of 5 cm and an increase of 1.4 kg. It is important to wear comfortable and supportive underwear. Choosing underwear with deep cover and support at the bottom to support the bulging breasts can prevent the breasts from sagging. In addition, the two shoulder straps of underwear should be wider to prevent the shoulders from feeling tight. Good maternity underwear should have multiple rows of adjustable hooks at the back to adapt to breast swelling.

Is it safe to wear steel underwear during pregnancy?

There is no definite evidence that wearing steel wire underwear during pregnancy is harmful, but experts do not advocate buying steel wire bras during pregnancy, because the rigid steel wire ring may interfere with the natural change of breast size and shape during pregnancy, hinder the increase of blood circulation, or squeeze the milk delivery system, thus causing pain and discomfort, and may even lead to mastitis. If you wear wire underwear during pregnancy, make sure that the wire ring does not oppress any part of the breast, and don't wear it to sleep.

2. Underwear with adjustable waistline

Pregnant mothers' underwear should be purchased according to the changes of abdominal circumference and hip circumference during pregnancy. The front abdomen is made of elastic material, which can freely expand and contract with the body shape at different stages of pregnancy to accommodate the gradually expanding abdomen, and the button underwear with freely adjustable waist circumference can be applied to the whole pregnancy. Because the abdomen bulges day by day, the abdomen slowly expands, and it often feels itchy, and the vaginal secretions of pregnant mothers increase. Therefore, in this extraordinary period, we should choose pure cotton underwear with good air permeability, strong water absorption, soft touch and warmth. Pure cotton underwear has no irritation to the skin, will not cause rash and prurigo, and can reduce the health problems of pregnant mothers. The belt can cover the part above the navel, cover the abdomen and protect the abdomen. Cotton underwear with warm effect is also a better choice.

Even in the early stage of pregnancy, it cannot interfere with blood circulation. Therefore, pregnant mothers should not choose briefs, underwear with abdomen function, and underwear with tight waist and thigh roots.

Pregnant women should not wear underwear made of chemical fiber fabric.

During pregnancy, due to enhanced metabolism, sebaceous gland secretion increases, so pregnant women should choose breathable, warm and sweat-absorbent cotton underwear.

Underwear with chemical fiber fabric rubs dry skin, which is more likely to generate static electricity than other fabrics. Most people have the experience that when they take off their clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics in the dark, they often hear a slight crackling sound, and at the same time, the clothes will emit a series of tiny lights, which is static electricity. Static electricity is bad for pregnancy. Static electricity will generate a large amount of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic charge can make people fidgety, insomnia and dreaminess. Studies have shown that chemical fiber or fine wool in bra or underwear chemical fiber cloth can enter mammary duct through nipple, which will block mammary duct, thus affecting postpartum milk secretion, resulting in postpartum hypogalactia or no milk. So pregnant women should not wear chemical fiber underwear.
