What kind of underwear is good for men? To protect sperm, you have to choose this one

Underwear is the closest to our body, the most private, and it stays with us the longest. So you should be more cautious when choosing underwear. So how do you choose men’s underwear? In fact, boxer briefs are better for sperm protection.

How to choose men's underwear

1. Pure cotton is the best breathable material

The part of the underwear that fits the skin is almost the most "delicate" part of men. If the material is not right, it will increase friction, causing redness or even tingling of the skin. In severe cases, it will scratch the skin and easily aggravate the common male skin disease "tinea cruris" (a type of dermatitis in the groin). Ma Le, director of the Department of Urology at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, said that the temperature inside the scrotum is one or two degrees lower than that in the abdominal cavity, which is the temperature that sperm "prefers". Therefore, good men's underwear must "meet the standards" in two aspects: one is good water absorption, and the other is good breathability. Otherwise, it is easy to cause problems due to "covering up", causing bacteria to grow near the warm and sweaty testicles. It is recommended to remove underwear made of silk, Lycra, nylon, chemical fiber (pure polyester) and other materials from the wardrobe. Pure cotton underwear is the best choice for men.

2. It is best not to choose black color

In general, light-colored underwear is relatively better. The Daily Mail pointed out that the risk of black underwear in particular is relatively high because rubber accelerators are often used as poor quality and cheap underwear dyes, and black underwear is more likely to cause contact allergies. In fact, no matter what color underwear you buy, it is recommended to choose a reputable brand. After you bring it home, be sure to wash it before wearing it to reduce the damage of chemical ingredients to the skin.

3. The size should be "tailor-made"

Many men sometimes experience testicular pain. Although there may be many reasons, it is not certain that the problem lies in the underwear being too tight, because the testicles are an organ that is afraid of pressure. Tight underwear will increase friction between the legs and affect your walking posture. Middle-aged and elderly people should especially choose loose and comfortable underwear. Qu Jing, deputy secretary-general of the China Knitting Association, emphasized that moderate looseness does not mean the looser the better, but that you must pay attention to your body feelings and find a size that suits you. When the size of the underwear does not cause wrinkles on the male private parts and does not stick to the body, it is a relatively suitable size.

4. Boxer briefs protect sperm better

In 2012, scientists at the University of Sheffield in the UK found that men who wore tight underwear had lower sperm concentrations than men who wore boxer briefs (commonly known as boxer briefs). Boxer briefs can provide a relatively suitable temperature for the testicles, which can better ensure the quality of sperm. There are many types of boxer briefs. In addition to the right size, it is recommended to choose ones with closed cuffs, and the length should be slightly lower than the crotch by one or two inches. For young people who are planning to have a baby, boxer briefs are the first choice.

5. Occasionally, don’t wear it to give your scrotum a break

Many people wear underwear 24 hours a day. In fact, taking off underwear appropriately is also a healthy behavior. Qu Jing said that when men return home at night, they can take off their underwear and change into looser cotton clothes to ensure their skin is dry and comfortable. Men not wearing underwear can reduce sweating, avoid creating an unfavorable "warm and sweaty" environment for the scrotum, keep the testicles dry and cool, and they can also choose to sleep naked at night.

6. Change clothes every day to prevent bacteria

Studies have shown that a pair of dirty underwear contains an average of 0.1 grams of feces, including bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, and it is difficult to completely remove them through normal washing processes. Therefore, it is very necessary to change and wash underwear every day. But a British survey found that about one-fifth of men are unable to change their underwear every day. This will not only aggravate the itching of the skin, but also make it more likely to cause bacterial and fungal infections. When washing, it is best to wash by hand with soap and do not wash it with other clothes such as socks.

Men's underwear must be matched with outer pants

work

What people wear to work is nothing more than suit pants or casual pants (of course some people wear jeans). If you are wearing a pair of well-cut suit pants, then well-fitting boxer briefs (not boxer briefs) will be very suitable for you. The reason is that ordinary boxer briefs will easily show the two boxer marks on your buttocks; and well-fitting boxer briefs can prevent you from unconsciously touching the two lines pressing on your buttocks, because the unconscious reaction movement will make people feel very indecent.

sports

When exercising, you can buy sports shorts that are breathable, because only by wearing them this way can you minimize the friction between your thighs, crotch and sexual organs. At this time, you should wear special sports underwear designed and tailored for athletes. The sexual organ part of this kind of underwear is supported by a three-dimensionally cut triangular cup, and there is an elastic band on each side to support the buttocks.

Leisure

Leisure can be divided into two states: one is to completely relax at home, and the other is to prepare to go out. New good men who like to stay at home and enjoy home life may consider wearing only a pair of loose boxer pants to let the baby that is usually tightly pressed in the pants relax freely, which is good for health! If you like to run outside, just wear a T-shaped underwear easily. This style of underwear can reduce the friction on the sexual organs caused by large activities (such as long-term walking).
