Shelf life of underwear

Experimental studies have shown that even if underwear is properly cleaned, disinfected and dried, it is not possible to completely kill the bacteria on it. Therefore, experts recommend that, under normal circumstances, underwear that is used frequently should be replaced every six months. Therefore, the shelf life of general underwear is only six months. If it is underwear that is worn frequently, the shelf life should be shortened and it should be discarded after about 30 wears.

The hidden dangers of expired underwear

At the bottom of a pair of underwear, there are more than 600,000 pathogenic bacteria per square centimeter. The vaginal opening, urethral opening, and anus of women are very close to each other, which makes it easy for bacteria in the dirt in this area to enter the vagina or urethra, causing urinary or reproductive system infections. In addition to causing hidden gynecological diseases, it may also cause various contact skin diseases or skin sensitivity. Every year, more than 15% of mature female friends will develop vulvar eczema due to wearing unhygienic old underwear. Among the small bumps on the skin of the buttocks, 45% are caused by the hygiene problems of old underwear.

How to choose and store underwear

Try to choose soft, cotton underwear with good heat dissipation. Choose slightly loose underwear with the right size, not too tight.

Underwear should be placed in a dedicated, specific area after being fully cleaned, disinfected and dried, and should never be placed in the same drawer with other clothing, especially socks. Women's underwear should also not be mixed with men's underwear to avoid bacterial contamination of the underwear.
