Wearing the wrong or unsuitable underwear/riding underwear in equestrian sports can pose several risks. Here are some possible problems:
1. Chafing and Friction: Incorrect underwear/riding underwear can chafe and cause friction in certain areas, which can lead to pain and skin irritation.
2. Discomfort: Inappropriate underwear/riding underwear can be uncomfortable and therefore disrupt concentration and focus while riding. This can lead to impaired performance and mistakes.
3. Restriction of freedom of movement: Tight or poorly fitting underwear/riding underwear can restrict the natural freedom of movement when riding. This can affect balance and coordination.
4. Hygienic problems: Incorrect underwear/riding underwear can lead to sweat not being transported away properly. This creates an uncomfortable feeling and can increase the risk of infections.
It is important to wear suitable underwear when riding that is comfortable, breathable and fits well. Special riding underwear designed for the sport can provide optimal comfort and protection.
