A medical expert, Dr Chinonso Egemba, says wearing a boxer for more than one or two days can encourage breeding of harmful fungi, which may lead to jock itch and groin infection.

Egemba said that putting on a dirty boxer for prolonged period of time was detrimental to the pubic region, especially the scrotum, as fungi love to breed in damp dark places.“The pubic region is an area in the human body that is always dark, warm and moist due to sweating, when you repeat same boxer for days, you are making fungi to grow and multiply in the pubic area.

Egemba said that boxers should be changed everyday and the groin area should be well taken care of, to prevent harmful bacteria which might find their ways into the body unnoticed.
