It's slowly becoming the season where we start to sweat, and I can't help but wonder if it used to be this hot...
This summer is forecast to be hotter than usual, so you're probably already thinking about how to prevent heatstroke and how to beat the heat.
There isn't a day that goes by without wearing an inner layer, whether in winter or summer, but in winter I wear it to protect against the cold, and in summer I wear it mainly to absorb sweat.
Silk has 1.5 times the absorbency of cotton, and is also known as a breathable fiber.
That's right, silk is recommended especially when you sweat a lot!
Leaving sweat on the skin can cause miliaria, which is not good for your skin. What's more, if you leave sweat on the skin, it can leave a sweaty smell on your clothes and underwear.
There are a lot of commercials advertising how to remove odors with laundry detergent and fabric softener, but synthetic fibers are not good at absorbing sweat, so odor-causing bacteria remain and the sweat doesn't get absorbed by the inner layer, so the clothes stay sticky. There's no point in leaving the sweat on them.
Through corporate efforts, various fibers are being developed and appearing on the market one after another, but silk has been around for so long that even Cleopatra was a fan.
Don't you think that something with a history is something that is essential and valuable? If it was unnecessary, it might have fallen into disuse somewhere.
Another historical reason why synthetic fibers were developed was because they could be mass-produced and were convenient for military use.
It's not necessarily good for your skin.
There is a reason why things that have been loved for a long time have continued to exist.
Once you discover the benefits of silk innerwear, you'll definitely become addicted to silk!
