Question 1: How should boys choose underwear?
A good pair of underwear does not require too many standards, but only the following conditions.
1. Fabric is pure cotton
The fabric of underwear is really important, and pure cotton is relatively healthy and safe.
In one study, researchers selected three groups of healthy men as participants.
At the same time, one group wore pure polyester underwear for a long time, one group wore half cotton and half polyester blended underwear for a long time, and the last group wore pure cotton underwear for a long time.
The results showed that 40% of men wearing pure polyester underwear experienced a decrease in sperm count; Men wearing half cotton and half polyester blended underwear had a 9% decrease in sperm count; Men wearing pure cotton underwear had no changes in semen.
Moreover, after replacing underwear with pure cotton in the first two groups, the semen returned to normal within 4 to 8 months. Visible, chemical fiber underwear can inhibit sperm production.
Pure cotton underwear has good breathability and absorption, making it an ideal underwear choice.
2. The color is not fancy
The underwear with bright colors and complex patterns indicates that dyeing agents are also used more frequently.
Chemicals are likely to stimulate the male reproductive system, causing allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, and itching.
For the sake of your own health, it is recommended to avoid flashy underwear when choosing underwear, and try to choose natural colors such as ivory, gray, and so on.
3. It's not tight to wear
When choosing underwear, you should also choose according to your own size below, not too tight.
Otherwise, it will increase the friction between the "younger brother" and the thigh root and outer pants, which will increase the local temperature and ultimately affect the sperm quality.
Moreover, in a tight state, sweating is not easy to dry out and is more likely to cause inflammation.
Question 2: How should boys wash their underwear?
Wash your underwear, preferably by hand
Washing a pair of underwear won't take long. It's recommended to wash it by hand, it will be cleaner.
After all, washing machines that come into contact with various types of clothing every day, and that come into contact with water every day, can breed bacteria.
People with beriberi in particular should not wash their underwear and socks together to avoid cross infection with bacteria.
Hand washing can reduce some bacterial sources. Be careful not to use excessive force during hand washing.
In addition, it is not recommended to use strong alkaline detergent for underwear washing, and it is better to use neutral detergent.
The lifespan of underwear is much shorter than that of outerwear pants. Generally, after wearing it for 3 months, you have to replace it with a new wave of underwear.
Especially pure cotton underwear, if it is found that it cannot be rubbed open due to dryness, it needs to be replaced.
Do these things well, and your "younger brother" will be healthier. Actually, it's not too much trouble, is it?
