What is Cooling Underwear?
"What's cooling underwear?" you might ask. How is that any different from any other type of underwear?" Great question! Many products on the market claim to help men's private bits stay cool, but you want to choose a boxer brief that is moisture wicking, breathable, and lightweight. This allows for airflow in the genital area, which will help you stay cool and dry, no matter how much you sweat.
Speaking of sweat, it's essential to understand why the groin area is such a hotspot for clamminess. Did you know that the groin area has more sweat glands than other parts of your body? This means that it's more likely to build up moisture. When moisture builds up in the many skin folds of the genitals, it makes for perfect conditions for irritation, odor, and even bacterial and fungal infections.
Why Wear Cooling Boxer Briefs?
Men choose to wear cooling underwear for all sorts of reasons. Here are some conditions that make you an excellent candidate to consider this type of boxer brief.
Sensitive Skin Conditions
Some people suffer from sensitive skin conditions, like groin eczema and acne. Wearing boxers made of soft and breathable fabric will soothe skin and prevent further irritation.
Foul Odor
A foul odor around the penis and balls can be unpleasant and sometimes even embarrassing. Odor in the genital area is usually caused by excess moisture, especially in hot weather or when doing physical activity. The chafing caused by the skin folds in the area only worsens the issue. Wearing cooling boxer briefs prevents moisture and chafing, reducing the likelihood of stinky balls.
Bacterial and Fungal Infections
Like it or not, the warm, moist environment of the genitals is the perfect place for bacteria and fungi to thrive. Bacterial and fungal infections (like jock itch) can be managed by keeping the penis and balls free of sweat, which is why cooling underwear can be so helpful for these conditions.
Physical Activity
Keeping active is a great way to look after yourself, but it can lead to very sweaty private parts, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Ensure you wear breathable, supportive underwear for any indoor or outdoor activity - and remember to wash afterward!
Quality of Life
Wearing breathable, supportive boxer briefs is a preventative step to keep you healthy and irritation-free. Preventing a problem before it starts—what could be better?!
What You Should Look For in Cooling Underwear
