👚Does matter matter?

Yes. A suitable fabric, such as cotton, allows the skin to breathe and retains less moisture. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester or elastane, retain heat and can worsen the bacterial environment if underwear is not changed regularly.

🚹🚺Women and men: different risks

In women, the urethra is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to pass into the bladder. Wearing unchanged underwear increases the risk of urinary tract infections and candidiasis .
In men , the risk is less pronounced, but irritation, unpleasant odors and rashes can still occur.

✅What do doctors and dermatologists advise?

Most experts do not recommend wearing the same underwear two days in a row , even in the absence of physical activity or visible soiling.

🔹Change your underwear   every day
🔹 Choose   breathable fabrics   (cotton is best)
🔹On a more active day, with sweating or sports, even   two changes per day are recommended

👖And what should we do in an emergency?

Travel, camping, forgotten luggage… life sometimes throws up surprises. If you have no choice and have to wear your underwear for a second day:

Try airing it out for a few hours.
Avoid tight clothing
Try to keep the intimate area dry and clean.
As soon as possible, change it and wash it thoroughly.
