In order to make a good living with confortable clothes, we must take care of the use of healthful underwear. Recently, however, it was found that some young women hardly understood the role of the underwear and made a mistake.
The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the problems with respect to the use of the underwear.
Various informations are obtained through a questionnaire. The main points of our conclusions are as follows. A rather great number of students use clothes which are not fit for the exercise in physical education, and they do not consider fully the functions of underwear. The same result is obtaind from the investigation on the actual conditions, that students wear their brassieres and girdles night and day. They take little interest in the informations about underwear, and have not sufficient knowledge of it. Many students choose their underwear through trial and error, and gain various experiences. But more than half of them can not understand confidantly the effect of their underwear on their health.
