How often should I change my underwear?

Why should I change my underwear?
Smell – Like any piece of clothing, the microorganisms we naturally shed end up on our clothes and build up over time between washes. Dirty underwear can also increase the production of bacteria, yeast and fungi. And worse still, it can be contaminated with faeces. This build up can cause an unpleasant odour. You can become accustomed to your own smell so you may not even realise this is happening. Changing your underwear will avoid this build up and reduce the chance of other people finding this smell unpleasant.
Irritation – Underwear traps in sweat, bacteria and dirt. Because underwear is generally tight fitting and sits close to your skin, wearing dirty underwear can lead to irritation, infections and acne.
