It’s impossible to stress the importance of finding the right thong for a man’s overall health.
As a result, many males just pick their favourite colour of underwear or boxers without considering the importance of correct fit and quality. It’s also not only about their sense of comfort.
According to research, the type of men’s thongs you choose can have a big impact on your physical, biological, sexual, and reproductive health. In addition, there appear to be several health risks associated with men’s undergarments that you should be aware of before purchasing a product.
Chafing
Another common ailment that happens when exercising or participating in sports is chafing.
Because the clothes don’t give enough support, sweaty skin rubs against it. Chafing in the groyne appears to be burning and causes an ugly bright red spot.
To avoid this, choose an airy thong with moisture-wicking characteristics and a material that remains in place to avoid uncomfortable wedgies.
In addition, for a variety of sports, a strong jockstrap is required.
A Jock’s Craving
If your thong is too tight and traps water and perspiration, you may acquire jock itch, genital infection, or even a male fungal infection.
A yeast infection is characterised by an unpleasant, red, ring-shaped breakout on the testicular tract, upper thighs, and glutes.
As such, before using an antifungal lotion or sprinkle, clean the afflicted area with water.
Each day, properly dry and freshen your clothes and underwear after exercising or showering.
Skin-Related Issues
The material of your men’s thongs causes irritation and an allergic reaction, resulting in contact dermatitis.
While everyone’s skin is different, rayon, polyester, and latex are the most common fabrics that cause this.
As such, the type of fibres used, the design, and the density of the textile all influence how well these textiles flow. In tropical regions, the fabric’s characteristics prevent sweat from fading, collecting it in one area and causing uneasy blisters.
You should consult a doctor if you have contact dermatitis. However, there are several home remedies you may try as well:
- When the rash has gone away, use a sensitive skin washing powder.
- Purchase many pairs of thongs.
- Apply an anti-itch ointment to the affected area.
- Relax in a colloidal oatmeal bath.
Testicular Torsion
An unexpected side effect of ill-fitting underwear is testicular torsion, which is quite uncomfortable.
This happens when the spermatic cord twists and spins, obstructing blood supply to the testicles and causing severe pain and inflammation.
It primarily affects adolescent boys (12-18 years old); however, it may also impact older men. Although the actual cause of testicular torsion is unknown, you can reduce your risk by wearing a testicular aid when exercising or engaging in sports.
Sperm Production
If you wear uncomfortable and tight thongs, you’re more likely to have excessively hot testicles, which might lead to a drop in sperm count.
Instead of floppy underwear, pick men’s thongs that are snug-fitting (but not too snug) all around the waistline and thighs.
Lower Hormone Levels
Although testosterone levels naturally fall as men age, wearing correctly fitted underwear, loose shorts, and those with a wider pouch may help you avoid low testosterone, which is known to be linked to diabetes.
Pay attention to the size suggestions offered by the underwear maker to acquire the right fit. An irritant and restricting undergarment are just too tight. If the elastic is too big, your underwear will slide down.
Examine the waistline and leg openings of a pair of jeans that fits you well. Then compare it to the product’s fitting guide to determine your best size.
