Notes on underwear
 
1. Choose the right underwear.

So men can choose a variety of underwear styles in their lives: boxer shorts can give men enough support for their private parts and are suitable for all occasions. Loose-fitting boxer shorts can let the private parts breathe when a man is sleeping. The tight-fitting boxer shorts can be ideal for various physical exercises and provide the best support for the testis. Therefore life, men must be able to choose their underwear due to the situation, and it is best not to use a single style.

2. Change new underwear in time.
 
Men should update their underwear in time. Once the underwear is damaged (such as small holes, small cracks, etc.), the underwear material is severely worn, yellow, old, and smelly. It should be replaced immediately. Men who exercise often need to work outdoors and sweat a lot need to prepare a few spare underwears.
 
3. Wash underwear in time.
 
The underwear must be replaced and washed on time. Dirty underwear can carry a small amount of fecal matter and many bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. These bacteria can collect on the surface of the underwear and enter the epididymis or testicles through the urethra, leading to inflammation of the epididymis and testicles. In addition, do not put several pairs of underwear into the washing machine at the same time. It will bring many germs to the washing machine barrel, spreading to other clothes through water pollution, making the user prone to eye congestion, itchy skin, breathing difficulties, and other symptoms.
