Bacteria causing unpleasant damp odors multiply after 5 hours of laundry. When drying indoors, use a fan or circulator, and wear quick-drying clothes and innerwear daily to dry items as quickly as possible.
Choose innerwear in colors that are slightly darker than your skin tone, such as mocha, or colors close to your natural complexion like terracotta or bordeaux, as these are less likely to show through. Additionally, seamless, smooth innerwear without lace will prevent underwear lines from showing.
Wear sweat-absorbing and quick-drying innerwear to prevent stickiness from sweat and humidity. Clothes and innerwear made from comfortable 100% cotton have the drawback of drying slowly after absorbing sweat, so it's a good idea to take a break from them during the rainy season!
On humid days, heavier hair balms or waxes are recommended over light hair oils. For long hair, updos are also a good option.
Soak in lukewarm water (38-40 degrees Celsius) for about 10-15 minutes to reset your autonomic nervous system!
Cross Mesh Non-Wire Bra
Mesh tape reduces bothersome stuffiness. The quick-drying cup lining ensures a smooth feel even when you sweat. The smooth molded cups make it less likely for underwear lines to show through thin T-shirts, making it a must-have item for the rainy season.
Refresh Cooler / Beauty Type
This innerwear is perfect for summer, combining "contact cooling" for a refreshingly cool feel upon touch with quick-drying properties. The entire mesh material provides a breezy coolness. Furthermore, it "dries quickly indoors" when washed, making your laundry routine comfortable even during the continuous rain of the rainy season!
