Could Your Underwear Be Dirtier Than a Toilet Seat? Nebility Shows You the Proper Way to Wash and Care for Your Lingerie.

 Underwear is the clothing closest to our body, and its cleanliness is directly related to our health. But many people do not know how to correctly clean and maintain underwear. Either throw it in the washing machine and wash it with other clothes, or don't change new underwear for several months. These wrong practices will not only shorten the service life of underwear, but also may breed a large number of bacteria, causing skin inflammation and even breast diseases. Studies have shown that the number of bacteria on underwear worn for more than 3 months is more than that on the toilet seat, which is very terrible. Today, Nebility will popularize the correct underwear cleaning and maintenance methods for everyone, so that your underwear can be worn longer and healthier.

First of all, let's talk about the correct cleaning method. Underwear must be washed by hand, and must not be thrown into the washing machine with other clothes. There are a lot of bacteria hidden in the washing machine itself. If you wash it with outerwear and socks, the underwear is easily contaminated by bacteria. Moreover, the stirring force of the washing machine is very strong, which is easy to cause underwear deformation, underwire displacement, and sponge pad deformation, greatly shortening the service life of underwear. The correct cleaning method is to use warm water below 30 degrees, add neutral detergent, soak for 5-10 minutes, then gently rub with hands, focus on cleaning the inner side of the cup and the bottom circumference where sweat stains are easy to remain, do not wring hard, you should gently squeeze out the water with your hands, or wrap the underwear with a dry towel to absorb the water to avoid deformation. If you must use a washing machine, you must put it in a special underwear laundry bag, choose the gentle mode, and cannot wash it with other outerwear and socks.

Secondly, the choice of detergent. Many people like to use alkaline detergents such as washing powder and soap when cleaning underwear, or use bleach, disinfectant, etc. These will destroy the fabric elasticity of underwear, and will also remain chemical substances, which may cause allergies when contacting the skin. The correct approach is to choose a special underwear detergent, or a mild neutral laundry detergent. The PH value of these detergents is close to that of human skin, which will not damage the fabric, nor will there be residual harmful substances, which is healthier for the skin. Do not use fabric softener, which will destroy the elastic fiber of the underwear fabric, making the underwear loose and losing its supporting force.

Third, the correct drying method. Many people like to hang underwear directly on the shoulder strap to dry after washing. This will cause the shoulder strap to lose its elasticity and easily become loose. The correct drying method is to clamp the bottom circumference of the underwear with two clips, hang it upside down to dry, or lay it flat in a laundry basket to dry, to avoid the shoulder strap from being deformed by force. Do not expose to the sun. Direct sunlight will make the fabric hard, fade, and reduce elasticity. It should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally. Do not dry with a dryer. High temperature will destroy the fiber structure of the fabric, making the underwear deformed and losing elasticity.

Fourth is the storage method of underwear. Underwear should be stored separately from other clothes to avoid being hooked by zippers and buttons on other clothes. It is best to put it in a special underwear storage box, the cup should not be squeezed, keep the three-dimensional shape, and avoid deformation. Do not put it together with mothballs and other insect repellents. These chemicals will destroy the fabric fiber of underwear, and will also leave a pungent smell, which may cause allergies when contacting the skin. If you don't wear underwear for a long time, you should wash it and dry it, then put it in a sealed bag, and store it in a dry place to avoid mildew.

Fifth, replace it regularly. Many people wear a piece of underwear until it is broken before changing it, which is very wrong. After wearing underwear for a period of time, the elasticity of the fabric will decrease, and the supporting force will become worse. Even if it doesn't look bad, it can no longer achieve the effect of shaping and supporting, and it will breed a lot of bacteria, which cannot be completely removed even if washed. Generally speaking, the service life of underwear is 3-6 months, depending on the frequency of wearing and maintenance. If the following situations occur, it means it's time to replace: the bottom circumference becomes loose, and it is easy to run up when wearing; the shoulder strap is easy to slip off, even if it is tightened; the cup is deformed, empty or pressing the chest; the fabric becomes hard, yellow, and has peculiar smell. Nebility's underwear is made of high-quality fabrics. As long as it is properly maintained, the service life can reach about 6 months, which is more durable than ordinary underwear.

In addition to the above maintenance methods, there are some precautions that everyone needs to understand: you must wear special sports underwear when exercising, do not wear ordinary underwear for exercise. The support of ordinary underwear is not enough. Chest shaking during exercise can easily lead to sagging, and ordinary underwear has poor sweat absorption, and sweating during exercise is easy to breed bacteria; do not wear underwear for more than 12 hours, you must take it off when you sleep at night, let the chest relax and promote blood circulation; new underwear must be washed first before wearing. It will be exposed to a lot of dust and bacteria during production and transportation, so it is not good for health to wear it directly.

Many people think that underwear is just a small item and don't need to pay too much attention to it, but in fact it is closely related to our health. Correctly cleaning and maintaining underwear can not only extend the service life of underwear, but more importantly, protect our health. I hope that after reading this article, everyone can get rid of the wrong underwear cleaning habits, learn to maintain underwear correctly, and wear comfortably and healthily.
