The doctor warned about the dangers of a wet swimsuit for health

Prolonged exposure to a wet swimsuit can cause skin irritation and microflora disorders, especially in women prone to cystitis, vaginitis and candidiasis. This was told on June 24 by the gynecologist of the highest category "SM Clinic" Victoria Aleksandrovna Fisyuk.

The danger of wet cloth

Wearing a wet swimsuit for a long time after leaving the water is one of the most common summer mistakes. The fabric retains moisture for a long time, especially in the shade or at low air temperatures, which creates favorable conditions for the reproduction of bacteria and fungi.

July can bring not only warmth, but also prolonged precipitation and thunderstorms.

Constant contact of the skin and mucous membranes with wet tissue can lead to local hypothermia and discomfort. Women who are prone to cystitis, vaginitis or candidiasis are especially sensitive to such effects.

Choice of material and style

Most modern swimsuits are made from synthetic materials such as polyester or elastane. These materials can create a greenhouse effect in hot weather if the fabric is poorly breathable. Fabrics that are too dense or cheap can also rub the skin during active movement.

An important factor is the size and style of the product. Cramped models disrupt air circulation and create excessive pressure, which leads to micro-damage to the skin. The specialist advises to be careful with ultra-light models due to increased friction in sensitive areas.

Rules of hygiene and care

To preserve your health, it is recommended to wash the swimsuit after each use to remove particles of salt, chlorine, sand and cosmetics. Before the next use, the item must be completely dry, since putting on a wet product repeatedly creates conditions for the growth of microorganisms.

For a long rest, doctors recommend taking at least two sets of clothes with you to be able to change clothes immediately after bathing. Maintaining a balance between aesthetics and comfort, as well as timely change of wet fabric, help significantly reduce the risks to women's health.
