bathe with or without underwear

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.

Sydney Sweeney or Justin Bieber’s infallible business is selling underwear

For more than a decade, Hollywood stars have competed to dominate the premium spirits market, from George Clooney to Dwayne Johnson. That same entrepreneurial impulse now seems to have shifted into more intimate territory: lingerie and underpants. Justin Bieber and Sydney Sweeney are the latest stars to propose that our intimacy comes with their brand. Behind this, a change in the income diversification strategies of celebrities, where art is no longer the main objective. Justin. Last Sunday, Justin Bieber took the stage at the Grammy Awards to perform a minimalist version of his ‘Yukon’ dressed only in a guitar and some striking baggy boxers. It was not just any artistic statement: the Canadian singer was promoting his Skylrk accessories line to millions of viewers, launching in 2024 with a minimalist selection of socks, sandals, sunglasses and boxers. The briefs sold out within hours of the Grammys performance. Sydney. Just a week earlier, Sydney Sweeney had announced the release of Syrn (pronounced “siren”), her own lingerie brand, through an act of calculated civil disobedience: hang bras on the iconic Hollywood sign. The technically illegal advertising strategy generated exactly the media coverage the actress was looking for. Their proposal also points to a specific niche: bodies traditionally neglected by the industry. His first collection, Seductressoffers underwear in 44 sizes (from 30B to 42DDD) with prices under $100. The precedent of tequila. Before the celebrity craze for underwear, there was another one that was even more graduation. George Clooney and his friend Rande Gerber decided to create their own tequila for private consumption. For two years they worked with a master distiller in Jalisco perfecting the formula, and called it Casamigos. It soon went on the market and they produced more than a thousand bottles per year. Four years later, Diageo acquired the company for $700 million. The impact was immediate. Dwayne Johnson launched Teremana in 2020. Kendall Jenner introduced 818 Tequila that same year. Michael Jordan and a group of NBA team owners founded Cincoro in 2019. The list multiplies with other famous and drunk people: Sean “Diddy” Combs with DeLeón, Nick Jonas with Villa One, Rita Ora with Próspero, and even the band AC/DC with Thunderstruck. But As experts point outbusiness imposes a change: Generation Z shows less inclination towards alcohol consumption compared to previous generations, suggesting that the tequila boom celebrity could have reached its peak. The new boom: underwear. Now that the tequila market shows signs of exhaustion, underwear is emerging as the new expansion territory for famous entrepreneurs. Rihanna started the path in 2018 with Savage X Fenty, a lingerie line that broke with traditional industry standards by offering up to 44 sizes and prioritizing racial diversity in its visual proposal. A very profitable strategy: in 2021, the brand reached a valuation of one billion dollars after raising 115 million in a financing round. Kim Kardashian was another: she created Skims in 2019 as an extension of her growing media empire, and she was not averse to controversy. In October 2024, she launched micro-thongs with synthetic pubic hair available in different colors and textures. Names more linked to fashion like Heidi Klum already have experience: she has had a luxury lingerie line since 2015, and the burlesque artist Dita Von Teese since 2012. Why underwear? Easy: the global underwear sector moved 187.61 billion dollars in 2025 and is projected to reach 314,442 million by 2035, with an annual growth rate of 5.3%. It is a well-rounded business that leads famous men and women to become aspirational models even in their most intimate aspects. The photos of Sweeney posing in her underwear look like something out of a ‘Playboy’ shoot. And now her fans can look like her. Less art. What many of these artists do agree on is that their creative production slows down when they discover that these businesses are more profitable. Rihanna hasn’t released an album since 2016. Ryan Reynolds invests in football clubs, Formula 1 teams and gin brands and only shoots movies occasionally. George Clooney is practically retired. Some analysts have already described it as a sign of modern fame: sell before creating. For some, at the moment, it is working very well.
