Underwear also has a lifespan, whether it is men's or girls' underwear, but many people have no standards for it, and they don't know when their underwear should be replaced. Today I will tell you about the "life span" of underwear.
1. How long is the lifespan of underwear?
- Underwear that is worn infrequently (generally not worn once a week) can be thrown away after about 6 months .
- Underwear that is often worn can generally be thrown away after being washed about 30 times .
- If the underwear you buy has never been worn and has not been stored in a sealed bag, you will have to throw it away after a year.
- If you run or exercise frequently, you should buy special sports underwear. The general lifespan of such underwear is about 20 times of washing.
2. 3 reasons to throw away your underwear
- Three pairs of underwear worn for more than 10 hours and thrown into the washing machine at the same time will produce 10 million coliform bacteria .
- On average, each pair of underwear contains 0.08 grams of feces. (This is a real investigation, it’s useless even if you cover your nose)
- Even if you change and wash your underwear frequently every day, underwear worn for 12 hours continuously will still contain 7 kinds of harmful bacteria .
3. Improper cleaning and storage will also shorten the "life"
- Underwear placed in ordinary environments may be infected with mites even if it is not worn for a month.
- Scalding with boiling water and washing residue will shorten the life of underwear.
- Socks and underwear cannot be stored together .
- It is recommended that each pair of underwear be individually sealed in a ziplock bag.
