These Clothing Items May Harm Your Health

Here are the 4 clothing items that can possibly create a negative impact on your health:

1. Shapewear

Shapewear could be harmful to those who have pre-existing stomach problems such as irritable bowel syndrome. Frequently wearing it may also stress people with prone to urinary incontinence. But, it is safe to wear this kind of clothing during special occasions, as long as you are comfortable.

2. Thongs

Thongs may harm women who have a predisposition to urinary or vaginal infections. According to Dr. Adelaide Nardone, an OB-GYN in Providence, Rhode Island, wearing thongs may cause tiny tears in the delicate skin around the clitoris and vulva, making it vulnerable to microbes. Experts suggest buying thongs made from cotton because this fabric is breathable and less likely to cause tears.

3. Wearing the Wrong Bra

Wrong sized bra could irritate your skin, making you uncomfortable throughout the day. Sammy Margo, spokesperson for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in England said: If a bra is too tight, it can create pressure on the nerves, muscles and blood vessels around the shoulders, upper back, and rib cage, leading to pain, headaches, and even constant pins and needles in the arms."

4. Skinny Jeans

A 2015 case study revealed how a woman experienced nerve damage after spending most of the day squatting in a pair of skinny jeans. Circulation problems arising from tight jeans are unlikely. However, experts cautioned to still be careful, particularly those who have vascular disease or are prone to vaginal irritation. Make sure that the jeans you are wearing are not too tight wherein you already feel constant pain or discomfort in your legs.
