Tight Underwear is not Healthy

Pace Hospitals

Tight underwear lead to irritation and infection (and it's worse for men than women)

For Men

Wearing tight underwear is not recommended for men who hope to father children, wearing constrictive underwear is a greater inhibitor to sperm motility than other lifestyle choices such as consuming alcohol or smoking tobacco.

Tight underwear tends to increase temperatures around the scrotum and not healthy for your sperms. Sperm viability is influenced by several factors, including body heat stability.

For Women

Women's underwear that clings too tightly to the upper or lower abdomen could contribute to discomfort. High-rise panties that are too tight can compress the stomach and cause acid reflux into the esophagus, which leads to heartburn.

Low-rise panties that are too tight can decrease blood circulation in the upper thigh area, resulting in irritation, tingling or numbness.

Air Circulation

Wear non constrictive underwear for the general health of your reproductive organs. That region of the body needs adequate air circulation for the sake of proper hygiene and defense against infection and irritation. Research suggests that wearing tight underwear during exercises can increase body temperature and trap unwanted moisture and bacteria.
