Wearing
a swimsuit with briefs is a trend that attracts both supporters and detractors. But what many don't know is that it's a decision that has far more implications than simply following a fashion trend. Have you ever wondered
why it's not a good idea to wear both at the same time ?
Reasons why you shouldn't wear a swimsuit with underwear
These are some
of the inconveniences that can result from wearing
underwear under your swimsuit:
Fertility problems
Numerous studies have shown that wearing tight underwear increases the likelihood of
male infertility . This is primarily attributed to the increased testicular temperature that occurs with this type of underwear. For this reason, it is not recommended to wear
underwear with swimsuits . Although they are already tight-fitting, when wet, they can constrict the area even more.
Infections
Constant moisture in such a sensitive area is a great source of urinary tract infections, as underwear
takes a long time to dry . The
moisture retained in the swimsuit itself is a breeding ground for fungi and bacteria.
Discomfort
Everyone has their own tastes and preferences, but
when it comes to comfort , things change.
It's unusual to wear two shirts, two pairs of pants, or two pairs of underwear under normal clothing. First, because it's pointless; second, because no one would find it comfortable. The same goes for swimsuits...
why sacrifice comfort?
Reduces agility in the water
Swimsuits are
designed to accompany us in the water . They're lightweight, have a fabric chosen to dry quickly, and allow for agile movements in the water. You'll notice the
discomfort of briefs in the water due to
their weight , as they
reduce agility and increase the feeling of heaviness .
Chafing
The presence of sand grains stuck to your swimsuit can be very uncomfortable. Furthermore, the friction can cause chafing, rashes, and redness in the form of hives.
The origin of this trend
Wearing briefs with swim trunks
originated in surfing fashion . Surfers need to wear special types of swim trunks (
boardshorts ) to practice their sport. These trunks are made of a particularly thin, quick-drying fabric, and their design often dispenses with an inner mesh net. For this reason, many people wear
briefs to prevent chafing or improve support.
Some
time ago, this trend spread beyond the surfing scene , and these swimsuits began to be seen on beaches and pools, and with them, the trend of wearing underwear underneath. While everyone has their reasons, it's worth paying attention to the reasons why this practice isn't advisable. Remember, the most important thing is to put aside the aesthetic aspect and focus on what's best for your body, your health, and your comfort.
