How your clothes are harming you
Over-tight jeans
Many pairs of denim are such that it’s an ordeal to get in them. You have to squeeze yourself and tighten your tummy to be able to fit in it and zip it up. The tight fabric of jeans can cause numbness and tingling in your legs and the tightness around your waist can cause a situation like acid reflux. Not just this, in extreme situations where a person may be particularly fond of them, it can exacerbate a situation called compartment syndrome. It refers to a build-up of pressure from the swelling of body tissues.
Tight skirt
Distress is also caused by an overly fitting formal skirt which looks really tasteful but causes much discomfort. A tight skirt that’s particularly taut at the waist can cause breathing problems, not the same but similar to the problem caused by an ill-fitting bra.
Thongs
With Victoria’s Secret becoming a brand quite common among Indian women and women becoming bolder about their lingerie preferences, most women own at least one pair of thongs. But these are much below par when it comes to your vaginal health. Thongs have been proven to cause Urinary Tract Infections and also slow recovery from the infection. In cases where they may be worn frequently or if the person is particularly sensitive, it has even been responsible for haemorrhoids.
Harsh fabrics
High heels
Pointy toe footwear
Heavy jewellery
Ill fitting bras
Shape wear
It may smoothen all your bulges and tires but is extremely detrimental to your health. When you wear a body shaper, it puts your organs under due pressure which can in turn lead to a slew of problems. If you wear it too frequently or for longer durations of time, you can even end up with acid reflux, the condition of heartburn and even, in extreme cases, nerve damage.
