From a young age, our mothers have instilled in us the importance of changing our underwear every single day to avoid infections or feeling dirty. According to a study published in Bustle in 2012, the average woman owned 34 pairs of underwear, compared to 12 in 1999.
Of course, sometimes we wear underwear for more than a day, but that happens when we don’t change it daily:
- Your skin itches
The terrible itching sensation can occur anywhere on your skin where you wear dirty clothes, but it can become especially bothersome in the intimate area, causing irritation that makes you so uncomfortable that you can’t stop scratching.
This happens due to the accumulation of bacteria that build up in dirty clothes and come into contact with your skin.
