For women, the quality of underwear is very important, because if some underwear is not of good quality, there will often be some bacteria present, which will lead to breast diseases over a long period of time. Therefore, underwear is very important for the female body. Silicone underwear is a common type of underwear and is very popular nowadays because it can shape the body when worn. However, the quality of silicone underwear cannot guarantee that it will have no harm to the female body. So is silicone underwear harmful to the body?

Is silicone underwear harmful to the body?

It is okay to wear it occasionally, but long-term wearing is harmful to the body.

The nature of silicone underwear is like contact lenses. It is used to prevent the embarrassment of ordinary underwear being exposed when wearing suspenders and dresses. Silicone underwear is made of silicone or cloth plus glue, and is extremely airtight. Wearing it occasionally will not have much effect on the body, but wearing it for a long time will cause great harm to the body, especially the breasts.

What are the hazards of silicone underwear

1. Increase chest weight

Silicone bras are heavier than ordinary sponge bras, generally weighing around 100g. Some thick silicone bras even weigh over 400g, which undoubtedly increases the weight of the chest and puts more pressure on the chest. Wearing thick silicone bras for a long time is not conducive to people's smooth breathing.

2. Affects normal chest breathing

The skin on the chest also needs to breathe, and silicone bras are usually made of silicone, and the layer close to the chest is coated with glue. During the wearing process, one side of the glue will stick to the chest, making it impossible for the chest to breathe normally. Usually after wearing silicone bras for 6 hours a day, the chest will feel stuffy and even have symptoms such as allergies, itching, and redness.

3. Cause skin allergies

Silicone underwear can be divided into good quality and bad quality. This mainly refers to the quality of silicone. Good silicone does less harm to the skin, but the price of silicone underwear on the market is very unstable, ranging from dozens to hundreds. In order to make more huge profits, some manufacturers usually use inferior silicone, which is very irritating to the skin. Irritated skin may develop prickly heat, eczema and other skin diseases.

4. Increased skin bacteria

Although silicone underwear can be reused, it has high requirements for cleaning and preservation. If it is not cleaned or preserved properly, the silicone underwear will be covered with bacteria. This is mainly because of its stickiness. Dust, bacteria, and various dust and fine hair in the air may fall on the silicone underwear, and the bacteria reproduce very quickly, which is equivalent to increasing the number of bacteria on the skin.

5. Causes breast deformation

Ordinary bras have shoulder straps, which have a lifting effect on the breasts, while silicone bras have no shoulder straps and are directly glued to the breasts with glue. Therefore, wearing silicone bras for a long time will cause squeezing and damage to the original breast shape. The breasts are in an unnatural state for a long time, which may cause breast deformation or even sagging.

The correct way to wear silicone underwear

1. Clean the skin. Gently clean your chest area with mild soap and water to wash off the grease and other residues on the skin. Dry the skin with a soft towel. Before using the invisible bra, do not apply talcum powder, moisturizer, moisturizing oil or perfume near the chest to avoid affecting the stickiness of the bra.

2. Put one side on at a time, turn the cup outward, place the cup at the desired angle, gently smooth the edge of the cup on the chest with your fingertips, and repeat the same action on the other side.

3. Fix the cup. Press the cup tightly with both hands for a few seconds to ensure it is fixed. To create a rounder look, place the cups higher on your bust with the connector pointed 45 degrees downward to enhance your bust.

4. Connect the front buckle to adjust the position of both sides to keep the chest shape symmetrical, and then buckle the invisible bra link.

5. Adjust the position. Gently press the invisible bra and adjust it slightly upwards to immediately show a sexy and charming perfect chest line.

6. To remove, first unfasten the buckle in the front, and gently pull the cup apart from top to bottom. If there is any residual adhesive, please wipe it with tissue paper.
