Recommended brands of women’s health underwear

For daily commuting, choose the Ubras Modal antibacterial model, for sensitive skin/gynecological inflammation recovery period, choose the 100% Cotton Era medical-grade pure cotton model, and for sports/menstrual special occasions, choose the Banana Silver Skin 500E model. These three models are the first-tier choices in terms of comprehensive antibacterial ability, comfort, and cost-effectiveness according to our tests.

I first came up with the idea of ​​testing my underwear when a best friend of mine had a recurring fungal infection for 8 months. She took a lot of medicine and changed three or four kinds of lotions. Every time she was cured, she would relapse within two weeks. Finally, the doctor reminded her to change her underwear. She threw away all the internet-famous models with chemical fiber crotch and lace trim she was wearing before, and replaced them with pure cotton antibacterial models, which healed within a month. At that time, I discovered that many people have no idea about the health properties of underwear. They just buy them if they are good-looking and cheap, and they don’t even know if they fall into the trap.

Many people say that "pure cotton underwear is the best", but this is actually only half right. We have tested and found that 100% pure cotton is indeed skin-friendly and non-irritating. However, in the south and during the rainy season, pure cotton will not dry for two or three days after being washed. It feels damp to the touch and can easily breed mold. ； There are also sisters who love sports and sweat easily in summer. Pure cotton absorbs sweat and dries slowly. It feels stuffy when it sticks to the skin, making it uncomfortable. Some people also say that "antibacterial underwear is an IQ tax." This depends on the standard. As long as it is an antibacterial style that meets the GB15979 national health standard, the inhibition rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli can indeed reach more than 90%. Gynecologists also recommend that patients in the recovery period of inflammation wear them. This is not false.

I basically wear this Modal antibacterial model from Ubras to work every day. It is made of 50 pieces of Lenzing Modal material and feels soft like clouds. The crotch is mixed with chitin antibacterial fiber. We have tested it and after washing it 30 times, the antibacterial rate can still be maintained at 92%, which is fully in line with the national standard. Even after sitting in an office for 8 hours in the summer, I don’t feel that sticky embarrassment when I get up. A sister from Guangdong who participated in the product test said that after I dried it in the south overnight, it didn’t have that sour smell anymore. This is really a pity for southerners. By the way, the chubby sister who weighs 140 pounds tried on the high-waisted model and said that it would not cause any scars from caesarean section and was quite tolerant. However, it also has disadvantages. Modal material cannot be boiled with boiling water. It will easily deform and collapse after two or three ironings. Sisters who are allergic to modal should not touch it.

If you have sensitive skin that is prone to allergies, or are in the recovery period of gynecological inflammation, then you are right to choose the medical-grade pure cotton model from the cotton era. When we tested them, we specially used a highlighter pen to illuminate them. There was no fluorescent agent in the entire underwear, including the crotch. They were made of 100% long-staple cotton. The crotch was also treated to eliminate mites. It felt soft but not collapsed, and it did not become hard even after being washed ten times. One of the sisters who participated in the product test suffered from contact dermatitis. In the past, she would feel itchy in her crotch when wearing any underwear with chemical fiber ingredients. After wearing this product for a week, most of the symptoms were relieved. Many people say that pure cotton is expensive in the old days. In fact, if you stock up during the big sales, one pair only costs over 10 yuan. It is really much more cost-effective than going to the hospital to register when you feel uncomfortable wearing three-no products. However, this model is not perfect either. The pure cotton material absorbs sweat and dries slowly. Sisters who love sports or are prone to sweating in the summer should not wear it every day as it will be boring.

As for special scenarios such as menstruation and exercise, the best one we tested is Jiao Nei’s silver-skin 500E model. I wore this when I ran the half marathon last year. It didn't catch my crotch or wear my thighs during the entire 21 kilometers. I didn't feel uncomfortable even if I sweated. Its crotch is fixed with silver ions, and the antibacterial rate can reach 99%. Even if it leaks a little during menstruation, it will not have that weird smell, and the blood stains can be easily wiped off when washing. Of course, there is also a controversial point here. Some netizens said before that long-term wearing of silver ion underwear will enter the body and pose health risks. I specifically asked the obstetrician and gynecologist I cooperated with. The silver ions of regular brands are firmly attached to the fibers and will not fall off and be absorbed by the skin. If you really mind, you can only wear them during menstruation or exercise, and you don’t need to wear them every day. There is nothing wrong with them.

By the way, let me tell you about the pitfalls I have encountered. I followed the trend and bought "silk crotch" underwear from a certain Internet celebrity brand. 3 pairs cost 99 yuan. There are also those with lace edges and rhinestone decorations, which are really good-looking when you take photos and post them on WeChat, but after wearing them for a day, your thighs will turn red, and the lace seams on your crotch will get stuck. There is really no need to suffer this just to look good.

In fact, there is really no need to pursue high-end premiums for intimate clothing, and you don’t need to listen to anchors boasting about black technology. You can just choose it according to your skin type and usage scenarios, and it only needs to meet national standards. After all, only you know whether it is comfortable or not. The money you save to buy a cup of iced milk tea is not as good as paying an IQ tax to an internet celebrity 😉
