Some women prefer wearing tight undies because of the snug and secure feeling they provide. But is it true that they could cause dark bikini lines? Why do tight underwear cause discoloration or unsightly blemishes down there?
One thing you should know about the skin in your intimate area is that it is more sensitive than the skin on other parts of the body. The extra pressure and friction from tight clothing can cause darkening. The constant rubbing can also lead to irritation and cause your delicate areas to change in shade or color.
It is okay for your undies to fit snugly, but they shouldn’t leave imprints or deep marks on your skin. If yours do, it is best to replace them with something that fits properly and is made of breathable fabric like cotton. Do take note that ill-fitting garments in synthetic fabrics can trap heat and moisture that can lead to bacteria and irritation.
