4 dangerous diseases that can be caused by wearing tights incorrectly

Pantyhose have become an indispensable outfit for many women. But did you know that wearing pantyhose incorrectly can lead to illness?

Urinary tract infection

According to Dr. Radhika Rible (replied in Everyday Health magazine), pantyhose are often made from a mixture of synthetic materials, including Spandex and nylon, these fibers retain heat and moisture, so they easily create the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to grow.

Because pantyhose are often tight-fitting, the heat-trapping and moisture-retaining materials of pantyhose can also cause problems anywhere on the body where a woman sweats, including her feet. This characteristic can predispose a woman to yeast infections or urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially if cotton underwear is not worn under tight pantyhose.

Causes skin irritation

Tights are often worn tight against the skin and that can be a cause of acne that many women do not think of. According to dermatologist Dr. Carlos Charles (answering to The Cut magazine), because we women wear tights continuously, especially on days when the weather is hot and cold, it will cause sweat glands to accumulate on the body for a long time, leading to excessive growth of bacteria, which can make acne worse. Because the sweat glands of the pores cannot escape, it causes skin diseases.

In addition, many women think that it is not necessary to wash pantyhose regularly, so they often wear them over and over again. This increases the risk of infection or skin irritation after many times due to the growth of bacteria.

According to a survey by Women's Health, women tend to put off washing their pantyhose until they've worn them several times or until they're dirty or smelly. In addition, many people are reluctant to wash their pantyhose frequently for fear of damaging the delicate fibers.

Effects on urinary tract, bladder

In winter, the humidity is getting higher, pantyhose are often worn tight against the skin, so if you wear pantyhose for too long, it will make the private area uncomfortable. Although wearing tight pants will create attraction for the wearer because it shows off the curves of the body, many women still decide to choose it without thinking that it can lead to diseases of the urinary tract and bladder.

According to a scientific study in the UK, people who regularly wear tight clothing are at risk of urinary tract diseases, ovarian torsion, and impaired bladder function.

Have gynecological disease

Women's vaginas often secrete vaginal discharge, which has the effect of moistening the vagina, excreting waste from the body, eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, and is a "shield" to protect women's health. However, when they wear tight-fitting pantyhose, the private area will not be ventilated, not only being compressed, but also having blood circulation disorders and also being an ideal environment for bacteria to invade, which makes us susceptible to gynecological diseases.

According to MSc. Dr. Le Phuong Hue, Thanh Nhan Hospital, women with gynecological infections should not choose tight underwear, sweat can easily cause inflammation of the pores, even with pantyhose. During these times, women should choose comfortable pants instead of tight pantyhose to keep the private area dry. If not required, women should change pantyhose immediately when not needed.

Notes on wearing tights

According to health experts, to wear pantyhose properly, you first need to wash them properly.

Before wearing pantyhose, you should wash them. Absolutely do not wear new pantyhose to avoid bacteria. During days with gynecological diseases, you should limit wearing them.

Absolutely do not wash pantyhose in the washing machine, even when washing by hand, you should not use soaps with strong detergents but should gently rub with shampoo or shower gel and squeeze lightly without wringing.

When drying pantyhose, do not use clips to avoid scratching the pantyhose, or dry next to clothes with metal buckles or sharp objects.

A little tip to help your socks last longer is to add a little vinegar to warm water and soak the washed socks for about 15-20 minutes before hanging them out to dry. This will make the fibers of the socks stronger and help prevent fading and odor.
