Ladies See Why You Should Stop Wearing Fairly Used (Okrika) Pants And Bra

New reports have shown that used br@s and
p@nts can be very injurious to the health of
the wearers in the long run.
Dr Ayoola Adeyemi, a dermatologist, has
issued a strong warning to all users of fairly
used br@s and p@nts.
The doctor warned against the use of used
bras and pants because according to him, it
could cause bacterial infections.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the
doctor noted that since the health status of
the initial user could not be verified, it would
be advisable for individuals to desist from
buying used p@nts and br@s.
“Some bacterial infections could occur when we
use fairly used panties because the health history
of the initial user was not known.
“Skin rashes, eczema, syphilis and other bacterial
infections may occur,” she said.
However, some ladies in Lagos have said they
prefer buying fairly used pants and brassieres
because they were durable and that they were
cost effective.
They told the News Agency of Nigeria in
separate interviews on Friday in Lagos that
their preference for fairly used pants and bras
was due to the fact that such products were
genuine and last longer than new ones.
Mrs Ann Adedeji, who was at Ikotun Central
Market in Lagos, said apart from durability,
most of the farily used pants and bras had
trendy designs and were colourful.
She said, “I get more colourful bras and pants
that are most times not available in boutiques
and at the same time, I get value for my money
as they are durable.
“You can only get unique bra designs here
because the Ikotun Central Market is the main
place for fairly used underwears.”
Mrs Victoria Adejo, who was also at the
market, told NAN that it was after she suffered
an embarrassing experience with a new bra
that she decided to make do with fairly used
ones.
She said the hook of the bra she was wearing
came-off while she was in a meeting in the
office and was left in uncomfortable position
all through the meeting.
“Since that incident, I stopped buying panties and
bras from boutiques,’’ she said.
Mrs Oluchi Onwuka, who sells used panties in
Ikotun Market, said she never regretted
venturing into the business.
She said, “it is a profitable business and I am
growing in it. I have boutique owners who come
to buy in bulk; they wash and package them and
resell at exorbitant rates and I am aware.”
Miss Damilola Madu, who also deals in fairly
used p@nties and br@s, also says the
underwears are durable and cheaper than new
ones.
Madu added that used bras held the bre@st
firmly and the elasticity was retained for a very
long time, unlike new ones.
“Used undies are cheaper and last longer than
new ones; that is the reason people come for
it,” she said.
