The world is divided between people who prefer tortilla with onion and without onionpizza with pineapple or without pineapple, vacations on the beach or in the mountains… None of these choices is dangerous compared to the other. At best, people in the opposing group may think they have no judgment. Sometimes very rightly so. However, there are other polarized decisions in which there is a decision that is worse than the alternative. For example, the option of wearing the swimsuit with or without briefs.
Many men prefer to wear underwear under the swimsuitbecause it is more comfortable for them, they avoid friction and everything looks more aesthetically gathered. Furthermore, if the swimsuit becomes transparent when wet, it can become a social emergency. However, every year experts warn of the risk this poses. Although it may seem like the most comfortable option, in the long run it is much less comfortable and, in the worst cases, dangerous.
Drying time matters. Swimsuits are generally made of materials that dry quickly. This is important, since Humidity is a perfect breeding ground for infectionswhich can affect both the skin and the genitals. Polyester or nylon are some examples of these materials. Underwear, however, is not designed to dry quickly. It is often made of fabrics such as cotton, which do not have this among their main virtues. In addition, the swimsuit with briefs involves a double layer of fabric. Even if they were quick-drying fabrics, it would still be easier for moisture to accumulate.
Swimsuits with briefs also increase friction. Water is not the only thing that accumulates when wearing swimsuits with briefs. It is also possible that sand accumulates and that can cause very annoying friction. It is quite paradoxical, since many people use this combination of clothing to avoid precisely that.
What can be done. The solution is simple. Basically, don’t wear a swimsuit with underwear. It is important that the swimsuit fits the size of the wearer, so that it does not cause discomfort or friction. And, of course, you must check that the fabric is not transparent, dry or wet. This way it will not be necessary to resort to underwear.
Women suffer too. Women don’t usually think of wearing underwear under their swimsuit. However, humidity is also a problem for the same reasons. In fact, according to the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SEGO)the risk of suffering from a gynecological infection increases by 50% in summer for obvious reasons.
Although women’s swimwear is also made with quick-drying fabrics, it is important to follow a measure applicable to both men and women. When you get out of the water, spend some time in the sun so your swimwear can dry. If we get into it immediately under the umbrellahumidity will be maintained for longer. In any case, if possible, the best option is always to bring a second swimsuit to wear dry. It is not easy to change on the beach, in the pool it is usually a little easier, but if that option exists, it is the best we can do.
