Wearing underwear traps warmth and moisture around your genitals, creating the perfect environment for yeast infections and UTIs—painful conditions requiring treatment. Even breathable fabrics can’t fully prevent this trapped heat. Plus, underwear can cause skin irritation, rashes, and disrupt your skin’s natural overnight repair.
For men, tight underwear raises scrotal temperature, risking lower sperm count and fertility. Poor airflow can also lead to breakouts and fungal infections. Sleep quality may suffer too, thanks to uncomfortable, twisting underwear. Experts suggest ditching underwear at night to improve skin health, reduce infections, and support male fertility. Or opt for loose cotton pajamas if going fully nude isn’t your thing.
