Your Mother Was Serious About Clean Underwear

You’ve undoubtedly heard from your grandmother as well as your mother that you should always wear clean underwear in case you were in an accident. Many people have been glad that they followed this edict from those who cared about them when they were in some sort of accident.

Your mother may have sounded crazy then, but there are other reasons why wearing clean underwear is so very important. But first, let’s get a good definition of what underwear is.

Included in the category of underwear are socks, bras, boxers, briefs, panties, undershirts and regular men’s underwear. It would be fair to say that most people do indeed wear clean underwear every day just to keep up their personal hygiene. However, what exactly is good personal hygiene and what does clean underwear have to do with it?

There is always much debate, though, as to the question of thongs: are they sanitary or aren’t they. Due to the way that they fit on the body, many have suggested that they do not promote good sanitation or hygiene. Others meanwhile have stated that as long as you have goo bathing habits and restroom habits, there is no need to worry about the sanitary nature of thongs.

So now that we have a clear definition of underwear and have discussed some of the controversy surrounding it, now the ultimate questions: what is the reasoning for wearing clean underwear? First and foremost, underwear carry our personal and natural body odors with them. So if you want to smell good and fresh every day, you need to wear clean underwear.

Human beings have various fluids and moistures that secrete from our bodies throughout the day. Sweat is one of the biggest examples of these. And like every secretion, sweat stinks to most people and it creates and unpleasant odor when it forms.

In addition to sweat, our bodies also release natural oils. The amount of oils we secrete at any point in time depends on the person, the time of the year, the time of the month, the kind of activities done in a day, and many other factors. Nonetheless, washing and cleaning your underwear after you wear it ensures that its germ free, bacteria free, and pleasant smelling the next time that you wear it.

Of course, fecal matter is loaded with germs as well as bacteria, but not all people have that much fecal matter in their underwear, but if some is there, that too brings unsanitary conditions to the wearer and of course, it also creates odor. Because fecal matter may be so tiny as to not be seen by the human eye, changing to clean underwear daily is very important.

Recall the days when you were in high school. Remember the way that your gym clothes used to smell after being left in your dirty locker? This should be reason enough to wear clean underwear. Though socks weren’t discussed in great detail, it is equally important to wear clean socks every day because they can carry just as many germs too. So listen to your mother and wear clean underwear: it’s good for your health.
