As we approach warmer months, the discomfort of lower body sweat becomes a growing concern for many. A recent survey conducted on Gunze's official X account revealed that more than 80% of participants have noted the issue of sweating in their lower body, particularly around the thighs and buttocks. Alarmingly, close to 80% of those affected do not take any measures to address this discomfort, mainly due to a lack of knowledge regarding effective solutions.
Insights from the Survey
The survey was carried out between May 9 and 10, 2025, targeting followers of Gunze who are acutely aware of the seasonal shifts. With over 116,000 participants, the results provided poignant insights. The primary areas of concern included:
- - Inner thighs (40%)
- - Buttocks (over 30%)
- - All areas (around 30%)
Moreover, more than 70% noted situations like long commutes and extended sitting, which exacerbate the sweating issue.
Effective Strategies for Choosing Innerwear
Addressing lower body sweat can seem challenging, especially with many unsure where to start. However, the right choice of innerwear can significantly alleviate discomfort, making it manageable and comfortable throughout the day.
1. Opt for High-Performance Fabrics
When selecting innerwear, prioritize materials known for their moisture-wicking properties. Proper fabric selection can differentiate between drying quickly and creating uncomfortable, clingy feelings. Good choices include:
- - Quick-Dry Fabrics: These materials absorb sweat rapidly and promote evaporation, reducing stickiness against the skin.
- - Moisture-Absorbing Fabrics: Materials that can absorb moisture efficiently and dissipate humidity help keep you comfortable and dry.
2. Match to Your Outfit
Consider the type of bottoms you’ll be wearing for the day. If you're planning to wear trousers or skirts, select innerwear that prevents discomfort and visible sweat marks. When wearing dresses, a longer slip can be a great addition for added protection and comfort.
3. Avoid Bulkiness
If you’re worried about added bulk from layered innerwear, choose simple slip shorts or streamlined designs without excessive seams. This can help maintain a sleek silhouette, especially during the hot summer months.
