Old Lingerie Accelerates Women's Body Aging Process

Lingerie of fine quality usually comes with a heftier price tag. A survey conducted in Japan with 1000 randomly chosen participants, 20-50 years old, got a result that shows nearly 50% of women are reluctant to abandon their old underwear, especially those expensive pieces. And this, however, can be a problem.

Lingerie, as a key companion to women, offers to you essential daily protection, yet what you may not know is someday this best partner may hurt you instead. You are aware that basically your body has kept aging since the day you were born, and you should also know your lingerie pieces are getting old too since the day they were made. As pointed out in one recent article from MSN Japan, old lingerie accelerates body’s aging process, and women should learn how to properly prevent it.

The fact is that lingerie of fine quality usually comes with a heftier price tag. A survey conducted in Japan with 1000 randomly chosen participants, 20-50 years old, got a result that shows nearly 50% of women are reluctant to abandon their old underwear, especially those expensive pieces. And this, however, can be a problem.

The female body actually tends to change by time, especially the breasts, which will easily get influenced by the menstrual cycle and changes of body weight. Generally the busts will shrink as the weight goes down. And therefore wearing the old lingerie, which may not fit that well anymore, will do harm to your health.

On this issue, Feng Shui also has something to say, though it sounds a bit superstitious here. According to its theory, women are able to absorb the good luck deriving from the fabrics, and wearing old lingerie means rejecting the good things and embracing the opposite.

Allegedly, the average life span of a bra is only one year. Yet the prices can be really high due to some sophisticated embroideries or quality fabrics, which make it quite a dilemma for ladies not knowing how to deal with the old pieces of their lingerie. As a matter of fact, you can make the decision after doing some checking work.

So what exactly should be checked? The underwire comes first. Providing support to the breasts, the underwire will possibly get twisted in laundry and thus loses its ability to do it right. Here are some steps you can follow to see whether it no longer works right:

1. Spread the bra flat out on someplace.
2. Now check whether the entire underwire part is on the same plane.
3. If not, it means some parts of the underwire have got improperly distorted and should be discarded.

And then we come to the straps and bands. If they stay loose no matter how you adjust them, it means the bra is already old or low-quality enough to be thrown away.
