A good rest is important because it is what allows the next day to have a better performance and energy to carry out the activities that are scheduled. Sleeping well has also been shown to help improve both physical and mental health.

But not only the number of hours you rest and the environment that surrounds sleep matter, but also the clothes you wear. Several experts agree that sleeping without underwear is healthier for both men and women.

In their case, they claim that wearing tight underwear can be detrimental to sperm quality. For women, it can favor the appearance of bacteria and fungi.

The recertified specialist in Gynecology, Patricia Becerra Batan, pointed out to CONBIENESTAR the reason for that statement: “Currently there are a lot of underwear that have a lot of synthetic material and it is one of the reasons why it is not recommended. The skin of the vulva is sensitive and needs to somehow have good ventilation and breathing, so it is recommended to sleep with cotton underwear.

If you sleep with synthetic materials, Becerra Batan indicated that there are two types of reactions that can arise: fungal vulvitis and allergic reactions. “On the one hand, infectious manifestations can occur because the nylon does not allow the skin to breathe, the humidity conditions the candida (a local fungus) and not having good ventilation can cause vulvovaginitis. There are also contact-type reactions, which occurs not only with underwear but with sanitary wipes.”

In summary, in the event that 100% cotton underwear is chosen, the member of the Plenary of the Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Buenos Aires assured that there is no problem for the night.

In addition to a health issue, relegating underwear has other beneficial effects on mood. By doing so, you can experience sensations of sensuality with yourself, which improves self-esteem and security. It is also possible that the sexual life improves substantially because those who sleep accompanied may feel more attracted to the contact under the sheets.
