INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that wearing tight underwear causes skin itching in the groin area?
Unclear. Only partial, indirect support exists: a clinic page advises avoiding tight underwear for jock itch, a 1915 advertisement notes tight underpants caused discomfort, and one study associates air-tight underwear with trichomoniasis. None directly establishes that tight underwear causes skin itching in the groin.
