Can sports tights or similar clothes replace everyday underwear?

Sports tights can't replace the underwear you often wear every day.

The ultimate goal of sports bra and daily underwear is the same, which is to provide static or dynamic comfort for human body. However, the demand for underwear during exercise is very different from usual.

Sports tights are based on "tight-fitting", and their core functions are to reduce the jitter of muscle tissue during exercise, provide limited muscle and joint support, keep warm and sweat.

Compared with ordinary underwear, tights have a strong sense of urgency and oppression, which helps sports lovers to reduce the burden brought by loose clothes, pursue better sports experience and even create better personal achievements. It is this muscle compression of sports tights that affects their comfort in daily wear.

Although tights cling to the skin, increasing the contact area and enhancing the sweat absorption and perspiration efficiency of the clothes themselves, it is rare for the body to sweat heavily in daily wear. In addition, in order to keep tight, a large number of chemical fibers are used in tights. Even the blended tights have poor skin-friendliness and sweat absorption, which will lead to a long-term moist skin surface and bring a sultry and uncomfortable feeling.

Hot and humid environment is also easy to cause bacterial infection and affect health. It is also very important that tights stick to the body and cannot protect the body from its own filth. In short, you can't wear it for too long, and you have to change clothes every day.

Dressing during exercise depends entirely on personal preference. Generally, you can wear two or three layers of trousers. Underwear is worn in the innermost layer to absorb moisture and sweat, and tights are worn in the middle to reduce muscle jitter.

The harm of tights:

It has become a fashion for women to wear tights. Because of its high elasticity, it can highlight the beauty of curves, which makes women who love slimness flock to it. But tights are harmful to human health. Tight pants are mostly made of macro fiber fabric with high elasticity, which has poor air permeability and hygroscopicity. They are tightly stretched on the body, which makes the pores sweat poorly and produces a sultry and uncomfortable feeling.

Especially in the hot summer, poor perspiration will make sweat penetrate into the stratum corneum, and the aged stratum corneum will adhere to the dust in the air and the skin, which will easily block pores, hinder the smooth discharge of sweat, accumulate in sweat tubes, produce prickly heat, or cause skin allergies.

At the same time, because of itching and scratching, bacteria hidden on nails and skin surfaces, such as staphylococcus, take the opportunity to invade pores, causing skin infection and suppuration, causing small boils and pustules.

In addition, tights with poor elasticity will limit the movement of the chest and hinder breathing. In hot season, wearing tights is prone to chest tightness, shortness of breath, heatstroke and other symptoms. If children and teenagers wear tights, it will do more harm, even affect children's thoracic development and cause thoracic deformity.

Wearing tights for pregnant women will cause greater harm, which will not only affect their own health, but also adversely affect the growth and development of the fetus.
