Development History
Prehistoric men used a loincloth, and archaeologists have discovered a 7,000-year-old animal hide loincloth that is speculated to be shaped like a baby diaper. The ancient Greeks also used loincloths, which historians suspect were only worn by slaves, and citizens appear to be naked under their kaytongs. The ancient Romans wanted to be diverse, some wore long underpants, and some wore wrap-around loincloths.
thirteenth century
Braies appeared. Braies is a Saxon word for pocket-like underpants, knee-length, made of linen and tied with a cord around the waist, worn by kings to peasants. By the Renaissance, the underpants were shortened and the front flap was opened so that men would not have to take off the underpants when urinating. The ruffled placket was either buttoned or fastened with a rope, and became the prototype of the modern men's trousers style. At that time, men did not wear outer pants, but put tight stockings over their underpants and fixed them with garters, so Henry VIII padded the crotch of the underpants. Historians speculate that he may have hidden a potion-soaked bandage in his crotch to ease the pain of syphilis. Many men use the placket of their underpants as a convenient pocket, containing medicines and money for the treatment of venereal diseases.
Tudor era
Men's underwear became stable and simple, long to the knee, buttoned on the placket, and the fabrics began to use cotton and silk in addition to linen. It gradually evolved into a jumpsuit, which evolved into ankle-length tights. The 19th century boxer John Sullivar was fond of wearing pantyhose to fight, so this kind of pantyhose was also called "John".
1935
Jockey sold the world's first briefs in Chicago with a Y-shaped front panel. The briefs allowed the exposed area of a man's legs to the limit, and clothing historians believed it was as important as a bra. In three months, 30,000 pairs of briefs were sold in the United States, and the Jockey Company urgently produced a "masculine" series, which was sent by plane to malls across the United States. The competition between boxer shorts and briefs began, with both sides claiming that they were healthier and more comfortable to wear. During this period, underpants were sewn with elastics, and in 1935 the word "underpants" was included in the dictionary.

Pure cotton fabric: pure natural, non-irritating to the skin itself, hygroscopic and breathable, although it absorbs sweat, it is not easy to dry, and the skin is prone to redness, swelling and itching when exposed to wet clothes for a long time. So in cold outdoor sports, such as skiing, it is the most terrifying invisible killer. A pair of pure cotton underwear should be used no more than 25 times.
2. Bamboo fiber fabric (fabric containing 95% bamboo fiber): The cross section of bamboo fiber is full of large and small oval pores, which can instantly absorb and evaporate a large amount of water. The natural height of the cross-section is hollow, making bamboo fibers known as "breathing" fibers by industry experts. Bamboo fiber naturally has a particularly outstanding antibacterial ability, and the sterilization rate of bamboo fiber is between 63% and 92.8% within 12 hours. Note: Please do not use the washing machine to wash or dry clean, hand washing is better. Do not soak in water for a long time.
3.Coolmax fabric: CoolMax is a high-tech hygroscopic and breathable polyester fiber from DuPont. CoolMax has strong breathability and good moisture control, which can draw excess heat and sweat generated by the human body away from the skin and transfer it to the surface of the fabric for rapid evaporation. The advantage of CoolMax is that it will not leave sweat, smell or mold, not deform or shrink, and it can be machine washed and dried. Therefore, it is the first choice for sports underwear. Men who like sports should prepare more.

Due to its poor air permeability and the harmful stimulation of chemical fiber to the skin, it has been banned by developed countries such as Europe and the United States as a close-fitting fabric. It is characterized by low price. At present, many cheap underwear in China are made of this fabric.

Do not wear synthetic underwear
It is mainly related to the ability to absorb sweat. The permeability and hygroscopicity of chemical fibers are relatively poor, which will make the secretions of leucorrhea and perineal glands less volatile, resulting in a humid environment that is very conducive to bacterial reproduction.
Do not wear dark underwear
Because women suffering from genital inflammation and reproductive system tumors, the leucorrhea will become cloudy, or even reddish and yellow, which are signs of disease. If these phenomena can be detected early and treated early, better curative effects can be obtained. If you wear dark or patterned underwear, the diseased leucorrhea cannot be found in time, which may delay the disease.
Often wearing thongs is harmful to women's health
According to gynecological experts, thongs, also known as T-shaped trousers, are a fashionable outfit that can fully demonstrate femininity, especially favored by many young women. However, due to the special design of the thong, especially the narrow belt with a thick rope at the lower part, it is easy to rub against the skin of the female perineum and other delicate parts, causing local skin congestion, redness, damage, ulcers, infection and other symptoms, thus inducing vulvitis Other gynecological diseases will also compress the blood vessels around the anus, increasing the incidence of hemorrhoids.
At the same time, some black-hearted manufacturers use chemical fiber products with poor air permeability as raw materials in order to make thongs more personal, which can easily cause skin allergies in women. Therefore, when wearing thongs, pay attention to the time of wearing. Try not to wear thongs for a long time. If you need to wear them when you go out or go to work, you should change into cotton and loose underwear in time when you go home, so that the part can be fully rested and ensure normal blood circulation. Second, pay attention to the matching of clothes.
When wearing a thong, it is best to wear relatively loose outer pants, and do not wear clothing such as jeans that are equally tight. Also make sure to change your clothes frequently. Young women should change their thongs every day to minimize the chance of genital inflammation. The timing of wearing is also very important. If you have local symptoms or menstrual periods, or ovulation two weeks before menstruation, you should avoid wearing them. To sum up, girls should choose white or light-colored, loose cotton underwear when choosing underwear.
Men's Picking Tips
In addition to protecting the vulva, women's underwear is more of a sexual temptation, while men's underwear is to wear armor for the "lifeblood" and is the last line of defense for the "little brother". There are different styles of men's underwear on the market, and men come together to learn how to choose the one that suits them.
Briefs - the first choice for sports people
Suitable for the crowd: Men who like sports and suffer from varicocele. Briefs are a relatively common style. Because its design tightly wraps the scrotum, the scrotum is not easy to dissipate heat and sweat, so it has been rejected by some people. However, for some people, briefs are their first choice. For example, men with varicocele need to choose briefs, and it is best to have tight-fitting crotch, which can lift the scrotum and reduce the pressure of venous return. In addition, friends who like strenuous exercise should also choose briefs, especially specially designed sports underwear. It is based on small briefs and has a pouch, also called pouch briefs, which are sports underwear. represent. The three-dimensional scrotal support design can completely support the scrotum and avoid friction between the scrotum and the inner thighs, and the scrotum is also placed separately from the penis, with excellent ventilation and ventilation. It is the best choice for sports men.
High slit underwear -- suitable for men with thick legs
The panties are suitable for the crowd: men with thick thighs. For those with thick legs, you can choose full-height briefs (that is, the two sides of the briefs are directly opened to the waist or the upper part of the crotch, and the bottom of the thigh is less tied). In the design concept of women's underwear, high slits are generally used to modify and make the legs look slender, but the starting point of high slits in men's underwear is not actually sexy, but to take care of men with thick legs, compared to boxer pants. Loose, briefs will make this group of friends feel tight. Men with thick legs will have more friction when walking. If they wear tight boxer pants, the trouser legs will easily make the blood circulation at the base of the thighs worse, affecting the temperature and humidity of the scrotum. Choosing high-slit briefs will better protect the sexual function of men with thick legs. . And it will not cause friction and overheating between the trouser legs, nor will it run freely and cause damage. Men with thick legs are prone to sweating. When choosing briefs with high slits, do not choose pure cotton. It is best to choose cotton content of 15% to 30%. At present, there are some modal, silk and other fabrics, which can effectively wick away sweat and dry faster. [3]
Boxer pants - recommended by male doctors
Suitable for the crowd: sedentary white-collar workers and drivers. Compared with the compactness of the briefs, the looseness of the boxers has won the favor of many people, especially the male doctor who advocates the majority of male friends to wear this style of underwear. The scrotum is very sensitive to the temperature of the outside world. It has no subcutaneous fat and is rich in sweat glands, which helps to dissipate heat. When the external temperature is low, the smooth muscle and cremaster muscle of the sarcophagus are stimulated to contract, so that the position of the testicle is raised, and the skin of the scrotum is compressed into dense folds and retracted to the perineum to prevent heat dissipation and help keep warm. When the external temperature rises, the smooth muscle relaxes, the testis descends, leaves the body, and the skin of the scrotum relaxes, increasing the heat dissipation area, which is conducive to local heat dissipation. The temperature of the scrotum has a great influence on the spermatogenic process of the testis. The temperature in the scrotum is about 2 degrees Celsius lower than that in the body, which is the most suitable temperature for spermatogenesis. If the temperature is too high, the spermatogenesis process will be blocked or even stopped completely, and the secretion of testosterone will also be reduced. The looseness of the boxer pants makes the self-regulation of the scrotum easier and in a natural state, which makes men more comfortable and healthy when they sit for a long time.
Tight-fitting stretchy long-leg briefs - for cyclists
Suitable for the crowd: Men who often ride bicycles. This kind of tight underwear is that the legs of the trousers grow to the middle of the thigh, which shrinks the buttocks, which is conducive to the tightness of the thigh muscles and can shape the body shape. At the same time, it can also minimize the friction between the scrotum and the root of the thigh, and can wrap the scrotum. A good choice for cyclists.
